@Maximus135111 months agoI use my bezel almost daily. Elapsed time walking the dog, when I'm grilling it helps me to remember to flip the meat every five minutes as well as the overall cooking time, and I set the index to an upcoming appointment time (I use the hour hand in that case). You could even use it as a reminder to do something by purposely setting it off the 12 o'clock position - when your OCD kicks in and you go to fix it, you remember that you did it for a reason. ...413

@TheIronDuke96 months agoI think it must be made clear that the bezel on a diving watch was never intended to measure how long your dive is or your "bottom time" or anything like that. Dive time depends on how much breathable air is in the tank and that is measured using a pressure gauge. People breathe differently so some people drain a tank faster than others. The rotating bezel on a dive watch is intended to measure the elapsed time when making decompression stops during an ascent. When diving deep you are meant to pause at various intervals during the return to the surface for fixed amounts of time in order to prevent complications with expanding nitrogen in the blood. The bezel is meant to help ensure that each pause is long enough (it can be a little annoying to wait when you're done the dive and tempted to get out of the water asap and have a beer on the boat) ...9

@lacedaimonian11 months agoI use mine every day to mark when I left work for my lunch break, so I can quickly check how much lunch breakni have left. 161

@DeeTofa11 months agoI used this method during my SAT exam. It worked perfectly 🙌 40
@
@charliecutter307811 months agoGood to mention that the bezel only rotates in one direction so that if it gets bumped and moved slightly after initial setting for a dive, it can’t move in a direction that makes you think you have more bottom time left than you really do which is a major safety feature for us divers. ...10
@
@MrNickMulgrave11 months agoI still dive, but I'm too cool to measure my dives with a bezel. I prefer an hourglass. 26
@
@charliecutter307811 months agoAnd I call my Omega Seamaster (Which I dive with) the grill master because it’s great for timing meat on the grill.😊 21

@neoroxx10 months agoit is actually more useful that you've thought if you're not really particular on the elapsed time up til the seconds 2

@sempakbola984211 months agoI use it a lot. It really simple, you dont need stopwatch with fraction of decimal for everyday use. Love it 1
@
@XyzXyz-pm2rj11 months agoI generally use it as a count down timer - I’ll adjust it to the current minute hand and use the blip on the bezel to move it the elapsed time need like say 5 mins- 10 mins. And I really do this when I’m cooking with out a chronograph and it’s with pasta too😂 ...9

@
@jeffb3215 months agoI bought my dive watch for the purpose of timing meat while grilling. When you're drinking ice cold beer on a hot day your mind seems to forget what exact time you started.....sometimes!
@
@barrettwbenton11 months agoI can scarcely swim, much less dive, but I get the allure of rotating timing bezels. The only watch I possess with a "proper" timing bezel, however, is a vintage Seiko 6139 chronograph. But, two of my other watches, both also Seikos (a 017 Alpinist, and, very recently, a 5 Sports GMT) can also be used this way, simply by placing the bezel's reference-point forward of the minute hand to your desired time. This actually comes in handy when I'm doing the Iron Chef thing and timing several things at once, and Google is already busy with at least one of them. (Since the 6139 also possesses a chronograph functions, it can handle two timed events at once.) ...1

@dperreno11 months agoI use mine to time my steaks and burgers on the grill. I then got a fancy chronograph and I miss my dive bezel - much simpler and easier to read! 1
@
@Welther474 months agoJust for putting it out there; I use a mechanical, USSR-made stop watch for cooking; including pasta (And I'm not russian). 1
@
@user-oh7vt3sm4j10 months agoEven though I love my Apple Watch, I do miss my analog watch. It had a tachometer bezel. You set the bezel to the minute hand, and look at the watch when you see the next mile marker. The minute hand points to the MPH markings on the bezel show you how fast you’re moving ...

@
@Krispiatlast monthI use the bezel like a stopwatch. Say you start timing something from 1:05pm until 1:20pm, the minute hand would have moved to 15 minutes on the bezel. Now if i get interrupted with a phone call or knock on the door, i move the 15 on the bezel to the 12 o'clock position to remember my stopped time. Then after my interruption i put the 15 on the bezel at 12 o'clock back on the minute hand. Let's say it's now 1:27pm and the timer continues. ...

@JDYTC11 months agoAs soon as y’all get a baby you’re really gonna appreciate a diving bezel!! 👶 That is to remember when your baby got the last bottle 🍼👨🍼
@
@charliecutter307811 months agoSo specifically for divers, you use the bezel to time your bottom time. Bottom time starts when you begin your descent from the surface so just before you go down, you zero the bezel on the minute hand. FYI max bottom time at 60 ft. depth is 60 minutes for non-decompression dives. ...

Absolutely diver is using an old ,mechanical watch for their dive watch. ...
