Yes and more ....
In Response To: My opinion..... ()

I certainly agree that the chronographs come in handy at sporting events, but one should not limit the usefulness of these devices. A 60 minute timer is good for pasta and things, but when slow-cooking or waiting for things to occur over longer than an hour, the chronograph works pretty well.

Sure, I could get an X-33, but that would be overkill for my everyday activities. (Of course, that is not to say I wouldn't want to own one).

Chronographs can be used for everyday things. For activities that require duration timing like long distance phone calls, business calls, rate timings (how many of something over a measured time period), etc. The chronograph is a very useful tool.
