Using stopwatch

  3. Keep + pressed to reset the stopwatch.

Your friend is training for a running competition, and needs to know how long it takes him to run the 100 m dash. You start the stopwatch the instant he breaks from the blocks. You stop the stopwatch the instant he crosses the finish line. The result: 11.3 seconds. Not bad!
