What do you use your diving bezel to time?

[wong]

Apart from diving and timing your boiled eggs, what else do you use the timing bezel of your diving watch for?

Me - Car parking entry time, cooking - pasta.
Also how long my kids have been on the computer - limited to ~30 minutes.

Absolutely nothing.

[Zod]

Time underwater!

Also cooking and timing "just five more minutes" requests from kids before bed.

This.

Actually, that's a lie. If I've got the fidgets I might fiddle with one, with my Sinn and Damasko bezels having the most satisfying action

Airborne time when flying at work. Easy to read in-flight and no ambiguity as almost all the trips are an hour or less.

4 minutes on the naughty step & very occasionally time under water.

Thought I was tough on my kids; but never tried waterboarding...

Only way to teach them respect these days.

Not much, to be honest ... My oven has a timer and beeps when food is ready, even if the food is not in the oven. What an age we live in! As such, I'll use that. Otherwise, I'll set my bezel and forget to check my watch!

I've used it for car parking once or twice, but normally I just remember. In fact, I very rarely rotate my bezels! I certainly didn't bother with my Bell & Ross BR02-94, with it's internal bezel and locking bezel control!

Dive time, believe it or not.

[Complex]

Cooking.

Nothing at all. I'd love to say I use the bezel to time small tasks in the home and out and about, and have tried in the past, but the reality is it's easy to add 5/10/however many mins on to whatever your start time is and stop when the minute hand gets there.

Contractions.

I can't believe that this thread has made me start counting the number of clicks for a full bezel rotation.
Omega Seamaster - 60 clicks - check

New gen 120. Clicks.

I mistyped, my post should have read 120 clicks.

Haven't used mine for anything yet but the deepsea bezel action is just lovely. I'm sure the bezel feel is a good way to spot fakes.

the time a plane has been in the air as I'm fking paranoid and read somewhere most accidents take place within 10 mins of take off

Don't forget the greater probability of piling-in on the approach at the end of the flight as well. Unfortunately even a dive bezel isn't a cure for deceleration sickness caused by going from several hundred knots to zero in a distance of 10 feet.
