Nixon Chronograph Watch for Women FAQs
What are women's chronograph watches?
In basic terms, a chronograph watch is one that doubles as a built-in stopwatch. It uses a chronograph subdial, operated through pushers near the crown, and can be designed to measure seconds, minutes, or hours depending on the specific watch.
How do you use a women's chronograph?
Chronograph watches generally rely on two pushers: one for starting and stopping the timer, and a second for resetting it. Hit the start/stop pusher to begin the timer, hit it again to pause, and press and hold the reset pusher when you're ready to zero it out. The 51-30 Chrono, one of our most recognized chronograph styles, uses its top pusher for start/stop and bottom pusher for reset, and because these are screw-down pushers, they need to be unscrewed before use and re-secured before the watch gets wet. Our blog offers a full walkthrough for anyone who wants more detail on chronograph functionality.
Why is the seconds hand not moving on my chronograph watch?
What appears to be a seconds hand on models like the 51-30 Chrono is actually the chronograph hand, which stays still until the chronograph is activated. To conserve battery life, it's best to leave this hand inactive whenever you're not using the timing function.
