How To Use A Tachymeter On A Watch

Many of my viewers have asked me how to use a tachymeter scale on a chronograph watch
I give 5 examples in this video to demonstrate that anyone can use this effective tool in everyday life.

Feel free to leave your comments and input
cheers

On behalf of everyone who’s seen this, thank you for such a descriptive and easy explanation of an awesome tool.

As an American, I was lost on Km/h, but once the hamburger analogy came out, I was in.

Tachymeter can also be used as a pulsometer with some conversion.
Once you feel a pulse, you start the chronograph function.
Count for 30 pulses (the starting one count as zero).
Then stop the chronograph.
By dividing the tachymeter reading by 2, the result is pulses per minute.

I am a veterinarian and I use this to measure the pulse of several animals. amazing tool

Tachymeters went the way of the divewatch: many people own them, professionals stopped using them decades ago, and not that many people actually still know what they really used to be for.

over the last 50 years...& with all the chronos i've owned...i thought it was some gadget for divers that just looked cool. so i learned something new today. 🙏🏽

I feel bad for the kid having his hamburger timed by a boss wearing an Omega

That you, 72 just achieved my pilots licence and now armed with this my cross country navigation will be a breeze.
Thank for such an easy to understand instruction.

That is the BEST explanation of the practical uses of a Tachymetre ever 👏

🇨🇦 Mine is a 1972 Seiko Automatic Chronograph with a 'Pepsi' fixed bezel outside and an adjustable internal bezel ! Works perfectly, still stylish, self-winding and still totally accurate ! 🇨🇦

Holy I didn't know tachymeter is so useful in so many ways! I dont have analog watch but saw it on apple watch...
but now I want to have a real watch with tachymeter

Also works on distances longer than 1. Multiply the timed result by the track distance. Example: Daytona International Speedway's oval course is 2.5 miles. If a car completes one lap in 45 seconds, the result would be 80. 80 x 2.5 = 200mph average speed.

PETER, YOU ARE MAGNIFICENT!! AFTER ALL THESE YEARS OF PROFILING EXPENSIVE WATCHES, NOW I KNOW HOW TO ACTUALLY USE THE TACH FEATURES AND THE CHRONOGRAPH, EXPLAINED IN SIMPE EASY TO UNDERSTAND MANNER. SUPERB VIDEO. FIVE STARS!!!

[martinkaloki]

This is brilliant! The explanation is so simple yet it still hits home.

[benmurray]

Been staring at my Seiko with the Tachymeter wondering, "How the heck to work this ?"

This video makes me stop staring blankly and increase my staring productivity on my watch!!

[anthonywilliamson]

Had my speedmaster 40 years and never knew how the tachymetre worked brilliant explanation

[benorex]

Very well done! I’m a glider pilot and i just got myself a watch with a Tachymeter so your video was extremely helpful.
Thanks mate and cheers

[daynevickers]

Great explanation... I just purchased a Chronograph watch because I loved the way it looks. I am thrilled to know I can actually use it to time my efficiency at things like preparing burgers or determining the average speed of a car in case my speedometer breaks. 🤣

[ninhful]

Thank you. I have been looking for the answer since long time. Even watch shop employees couldn't give me satisfactory answers. Some do specialize more on selling.

[sharamrock]

Dude, all these years I've had fancy watches & cars and didn't think about the topics that you have explained in the video.
Thank you for adding to my knowledge.
