Left dial is seconds for the watch. Bottom is hours for the stopwatch, right one is minutes, 30 per revolution for the stopwatch.

Remember you need to unscrew the seals to be able to press the chronograph (stopwatch) buttons - at 2 and 4 o'clock on the case respectively. And it's not waterproof with the chrono pushers unscrewed i.e. you can't use the chronograph in water. Screw 'em back down!

Some don't move at all they are glued on.
