I've utilized a bezel numerous times during incidents at work, to track when events occurred. Timing stop lights. Timing the grill. The excitement!

 

Not too exciting, but I use it a lot when I BBQ.

 

in my opinion most creative and original way to use your divers bezel is to actually measure the time elapsed since the moment you were exposed to salty ocean waters with your specifically created oxygen balloon and a rubber mask, sometimes it is called "diving".

as opposed to "desk diving" where minimum of 300m of WR are required, you can perform above mentioned task with regular 100-200 m of WR, so obviously is less extreme..

 

You don't time your steak when you cook it, instead touch it to find out the doneness.

 

That's really disgusting. Get yourself one of these: http://www.amazon.com/ThermoWorks-S...per-Fast-Professional-Thermocouple-Thermometer/dp/B002GIZZWM/ref=zg_bs_289809_8

 

I try and use it to make me look more like the kind of action person who would actually go diving, but I'm not sure it works.

 

I set the bezel when I start the dog walk and note the duration of walking before crapping. There is some information out there indicating that dogs align themselves north and south to pinch a loaf, so I am trying to determine if there is a correlation between time walking and alignment. So far, not much evidence, but I am on the case.

 

I want to set mine like David guetta in the music video where them girls at. I mean a dj must be cool and therefore im cool?

Sometimes I turn the bezels because I am bored and like the clicky bit. That's about it for me.

 

To time the frequency between each Rolex-bashing/biased/comparison-based thread.

 

Pizza orders and lunch breaks.

 

I can't belive you guys actually use your bezels for something. The only time mine get moved is to line the pip at the top up with the 12.

 

Paid for the functionality so you might as well use it, right?!

 

One job I do (Unionized) I get a 30min lunch break. I use it to make sure I'm not late, though it's really not a big deal...

Just and excuse to use my bezel.

 

Well, and I do this at least twice per day, to time my perfectly steeped tea... Ahhhhh, the perfect cuppa! Hmmmm, feel like one now.

 

That's actually the one thing I find myself missing about my G-shock and that I actually use it for (yes, I will go put it on prior to making tea just for that specific purpose): the countdown timer.

Why don't any mechanical watches have countdown timers? Those would be far more useful for most people in their daily lives than chronographs.

 

It can actually double as a compass ring...just line up the 30s mark between the sun and 12noon and the 0 arrow is north.

 

Commute duration, coffee breaks, laundry (set as a countdown timer; a 45-minute dryer cycle means I put the bezel's "15" on the minute hand, making the bezel pip 45 minutes later), parking meters...



I'm trying that as I sit here with the sun shining into my window, and it just doesn't work. Are you describing it correctly? I'm getting the bezel arrow pointing ENE at about 1840.

You really don't need a bezel to find the cardinal directions anyway -- put the Sun halfway between the hour hand and 12:00, and 12:00 points South. You can use the bezel arrow/pip to help align the Sun to the dial if you want, but it's not necessary. Not perfect, but good enough for finding one's way out of the woods.

 

Wait - the bezel rotates?

I always thought a timing bezel is so much more useful than a chronograph for non specialist use of course. Mainly for the legibility. Sometimes i use it to measure hours puting the 0 in the hour hand instead the minute hand, since each 5 minutes is equal 1 hour in the hour hand you can use it up to 12 hour. I have used it mainly for timing food preparations that sometimes take 2 or 3 hours to be ready, its easy to forget how long has it been when its so long.

 

Since my wife and I had our son, she's been asking me to time all kinds of baby related things with my bezel.
Duration of his nursing times, how long his naps are, time between diaper changes, etc.

 

Same here actually! Normally she'll frantically tell me to time something while I'm in the middle of something, and it's a lot easier than finding the cell phone. We mostly time meals and time between meals now.

 

Timing 4 minutes to let the coffee brew before pressing the plunger, cooking spaghetti, and boiling an egg.

 

On no date divers you can track what date it is

Alright. hold on. I can't decide if that is genius or so dumb it defies description...

I'm still thinking.

Still....thinking......

 

I often go to the People's Republic of Cambridge (Massachusetts) for work and have to park on the street. I use my bezel to alert me when to run and either feed the meter or drive off. The parking meter maids are brutal and they will nab you 10 seconds after the meter hits zero.

 

Often the difference is a very fine line...:-d

 

to annoy my wife

 

When I pay for an hour, I want an hour. However, at times I lose track of the start time depending on the type of session. A timing bezel helps.

 

On the bed, not alone, don't ask what for.

 

WHAT FOR??!

 

For watering the lawn with a sprinkler since part of the irrigation system broke.

Oh wait, you said creative. Um ...
