Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the benefit of a 13-jewel mechanical stopwatch?
Jeweled movements in mechanical timers like the TFA Dostmann series reduce friction in the internal gears, providing greater long-term accuracy and durability.
2. Are digital stopwatches like the Hanhart Profile 25 waterproof?
While many digital models feature robust and splash-resistant housings, you should check the specific IP rating if you require a fully waterproof timer for wet environments.
3. What does "1/100 SEK" mean on a stopwatch?
This indicates that the stopwatch is capable of measuring time increments as small as one-hundredth of a second, which is standard for most digital Hanhart models.
4. Can the Hanhart Large Quartz Stopclock be used on a lab bench?
Yes, the large quartz stopclock is specifically designed with a stable base for desktop use, making it easier to read than a handheld device during a stationary experiment.
