These sequences can range from seconds to hours. In addition to the usual crown, they generally have one or two pushbuttons that allow the counting hand to fire, stop it and restart it again, likewise watches with chronographs usually have two or three sub-dials that show the hours, minutes and seconds. The time sequences measured by the counting needle are accumulated in the counters allowing the user to keep track of partial times.<\/p>\n<p>Its use is essential in sports that require speed, such as: horse races, car races, marathons, among others, that require determining the elapsed time accurately.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/elektonwatches.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/difference-watch-chronograph-257x300.jpg\" alt=\"difference watch chronograph\" width=\"257\" height=\"300\" \/><\/figure>\n<h2><strong>Differencias between both<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The main difference is that a chronograph is a functionality, while a chronometer is a quality. A chronometer is a watch that tells the time with extremely high precision, while a chronograph is a watch that measures short times.
