Your on track

You have set everything there is to set. The dial at the 12 position is a 30 minute totalizer for the Chronograph function (stop watch), the dial at the 9 position is a 24 hour totalizer, again a part of the chronograph function. The dial at the 6 position is your small second hand. The larger seconds hand on the center dial is your 60 second chronograph. There is no harm in running the chrono at all times, it is your watch. I think the common thinking is that running the chrono will use about 2% more reserve power than not running it. So, as long as you are active, the watch will stay fully wound. Remember, while using the chronograph this way, you would obviously have to stop and reset the chrono to use it for its intended function. Enjoy and wear it in good health.
