NavList:

Bill,

If I understand you correctly, you are talking about a watch that has the option to freeze the display and show the time and maybe the date at the instant the button was pressed, but the watch will continue to run in the background and when the button is pressed again, the watch will resume showing the current time. Is that right?

If that is the case, then we are all talking about the same thing. Although you are correct that a stopwatch would have to be started at midnight (or some known offset). But that just makes it a normal clock anyway. I don't know of a name for that function that applies strictly to a clock/watch.

By the way, some apps now allow you to not only freeze a time count, but also keep those times in memory in the form of a list. I have a Casio (PAW-2000T) that can do the same thing ... in a roundabout kind of way. You can record your current altitude with a time and date stamp when you press a certain button in the altimeter mode (25 entries in total). But, alas, it only records the time down to the minute.

Cheers!
