Chapter 6 Timekeeping 37
Time events with a stopwatch
Time events with accuracy and ease. Apple Watch can time full events (up to 11 hours, 55
minutes) and keep track of lap or split times, then show the results as a list, a graph, or live on
your watch face. The Chronograph watch face has the stopwatch built in, and you can add a
stopwatch to these faces: Color, Mickey Mouse, Modular, Simple, and Utility.
Switch to the stopwatch. Open the Stopwatch app , or tap the stopwatch on your watch face
(if you’ve added it or you’re using the Chronograph watch face).
