How to read the stopwatch minute hand
For 8R48, which can measure up to 12 hours, the stopwatch minute hand makes a full rotation every 30 minutes.
The readout is determined by the correlation between the positions of the stopwatch minute hand and the stopwatch hour hand. To read the minutes correctly, refer to the instructions below.
(Between 0 and 29 minutes)
For 8R46
Read the time that the stopwatch minute hand is pointing to as is; in the case above, the measured time should be read as “20 minutes 10 seconds”.
For 8R48
While the stopwatch hour hand is pointing in some direction within the first half of an hour (after a long line of graduation and before a short line of graduation), read the minutes as is that the minute hand is pointing to; in the case above, the measured time should be read as “6 hours 20 minutes 10 seconds”.
(Between 30 and 59 minutes)
While the stopwatch hour hand is pointing in some direction within the second half of an hour (after a short line of graduation and before a long line of graduation), add 30 minutes to the minute that the minute hand is pointing: in the case above, the measured time should be read as “6 hours 50 minutes 10 seconds”.
