How To Use A Tachymeter 

On behalf of everyone who’s seen this, thank you for such a descriptive and easy explanation of an awesome tool.

I feel bad for the kid having his hamburger timed by a boss wearing an Omega

Tachymeter can also be used as a pulsometer with some conversion. Once you feel a pulse, you start the chronograph function. Count for 30 pulses (the starting one count as zero). Then stop the chronograph. By dividing the tachymeter reading by 2, the result is pulses per minute.

Tachymeters went the way of the divewatch: many people own them, professionals stopped using them decades ago, and not that many people actually still know what they really used to be for.

Been staring at my Seiko with the Tachymeter wondering, "How the heck to work this ?" This video makes me stop staring blankly and increase my staring productivity on my watch!!

As an American, I was lost on Km/h, but once the hamburger analogy came out, I was in.

I am a veterinarian and I use this to measure the pulse of several animals. amazing tool

over the last 50 years...& with all the chronos i've owned...i thought it was some gadget for divers that just looked cool. so i learned something new today. 🙏🏽

Also works on distances longer than 1. Multiply the timed result by the track distance. Example: Daytona International Speedway's oval course is 2.5 miles. If a car completes one lap in 45 seconds, the result would be 80. 80 x 2.5 = 200mph average speed.

This is brilliant! The explanation is so simple yet it still hits home.

Great explanation... I just purchased a Chronograph watch because I loved the way it looks. I am thrilled to know I can actually use it to time my efficiency at things like preparing burgers or determining the average speed of a car in case my speedometer breaks. 🤣

I just got a Citizen Perpetual Chrono with Tachymeter for Christmas! I had no idea how to use it. Very clear and useful explanation. Thank you!

Very well done! I’m a glider pilot and i just got myself a watch with a Tachymeter so your video was extremely helpful. Thanks mate and cheers

Absolute great way to explain how a watch works.....just bought a watch after 40 odd years without one and thank you

Great stuff, we almost never used the tachymeter for anything but its looks so understanding its tool usage is nice. Like a slide rule, the more you use it the more it will become familiar.

Those guys who work at a burger joint when they see their bosses wear a chronograph watches be like 😶

PETER, YOU ARE MAGNIFICENT!! AFTER ALL THESE YEARS OF PROFILING EXPENSIVE WATCHES, NOW I KNOW HOW TO ACTUALLY USE THE TACH FEATURES AND THE CHRONOGRAPH, EXPLAINED IN SIMPE EASY TO UNDERSTAND MANNER. SUPERB VIDEO. FIVE STARS!!!

That is the BEST explanation of the practical uses of a Tachymetre ever 👏

This is awesome. Thanks for explaining this so clearly and with several easy-to-understand examples. Indeed, these watches are tools and we need to use them to their fullest potential.

Really excellent video, ive owned watches like this for ages but never had them explained so well.

This was by far the best explanation of a chronograph/tachymeter I've come across. Thank you!!!

Dude, all these years I've had fancy watches & cars and didn't think about the topics that you have explained in the video. Thank you for adding to my knowledge.

Very imformative. I thought I knew what I needed to know about the tachymeter before I watched the vid. I'm going to have to watch this again a couple of times to feel fully educated.

Wow ! Your simplification by practical examples , what a job .

A simple, easy and very clear explanation. Thank you!

Fantastic explanation of how to use the tachymeter. I have always struggled with this, not any more! Thank you. Absolutely love your videos, amongst the very best on RU-vid. Keep up the good work 👌

Great demonstration of a Chronograph scale! I still cannot get over that Speedmaster... simply gorgeous! ❤️💨

Superb presentation...throwing clear daylight on a most confusing subject!

Well made video. The tachometer is a great little scale that is so under used and by simply not knowing how or even why!! This is what watch wearers need!! Kindest Bob England

This watch feature has been a mystery to me for a long time. Thank you for making this video and explaining how to use this feature.

This was great. I have never really thought about the tachymeter scale on the bezel. I have learnt something new today! :)

Fascinating explanation that makes all this money I have spent in nice watches, actually useful! Thank you very much for this.

I’ve never thought to use a chronograph in some of the ways you explained. Great video!

Fantastic! You contextualised and explained it so well! I now know how to use the Tachymeter. 👍

Peter, thank you for this info in your video. I finally now understand what a Tachymetre is and does. Both my Tissot and my Citizen eco drive has the Tachymetre scale....

I didn't even know what it's called before this. Thanks for this one. Really helpful.

Cristal clear! Amazing job with this video!! 👍👍👍

Peter, great simple explanations. Thank you! I just went to my collection to see if I have one with a tachymetre, nope. Gotta get one now!

Damn, what a great explanation. Before this video I thought "what's the use of such a thing, must be more a gimmick than anything else", but with this I now realize how handy it can be for certain situations. Thanx!!

Thanks for your explanation... and ..... What a remarcable collection of watches you have!

Very well presented. Good job with the examples. Perfect.

What a great video. I had no idea I could do all that with my inexpensive chronograph/tachymeter watch. (But I like your Omega much better than what I have!). 😊

Very easy to follow and great explanation. Best video on this function that's on the Internet. Bravo

Great video. I appreciate the clear description of using the tachometer. Now I'm going to have to get one.

Amazingly simple explanation. Appreciated. Thank you.

Absolutely amazing description!!!

The key is one single Unit of your choice, but it has to be constant single of the unit desired. Excellent video!

So simple, but I never thought to use in reverse with a constant speed to verify distance traveled, fantastic! And then the burger assembly example, time for lunch!

Thank you. I have been looking for the answer since long time. Even watch shop employees couldn't give me satisfactory answers. Some do specialize more on selling.

Spot on! Thanks for that! It was explained to me years ago but not like that. Now i understand. I'll start using it. Good stuff. Thumb up, subbed. Looking forward to seeing more. 👊👊👍👍🤘🤘

such a comprehensive explanation. Thanks Peter ... love it!!!

Awesome video! Very well explained. I am enjoying each and every video from the time I subbed ; I like your way of explaining different features or functions that has anything to do with watches, something very different from most RU-vidrs who who simply review a watch and tell stuff, we mostly know, but still watch it to get a good idea of how the watch's going to be in flesh. I would appreciate a video on explaining in simple terms what makes the expensive watches expensive and uncovering some mechanical / automatic movements right from the basic movement. Another video may be on how to understand which watch will retain most of its value, given that as collectors we feel the constant temptation to keep buying one after another. Keep up the great work mate!

Brilliant brilliant video, Peter. It’s a revelation to me 😊. Thanks for sharing this knowledge.

I love how you even explain the greek origin of the word. Fantastic video.

This has been a great tutorial! Thank you for enhancing my joy for watches with this masterclass!

Effective examples , I appreciated that you used both speed distance and worker examples to explain the usage.

GREAT JOB IN explaining it in simple terms

great examples and explanation. Thank you

Thank you very much for multiple example, it clear even for me being someone that understand stuff slower!

Thank you so much for the education. I am proud of my Omega even more now.

Thanks man 👍 I have so many watches with tachymeter now I understand what it measures 😁 big help and keep up the good work 💪💪

You really made this topic very understandable using easy to follow examples! Thank you, well done!

Thank you for the very simply explanation, great.

Thank you for making this video. I have saved it for future reference. Now I want to find reviews of these chronographs.

Excellent video, you have explained everything in the best possible manner.
