[Icon-tech] interesting feature about the stop watch

If one runs the stop watch and forgets to turn it off when done, the unit
will shut itself off if one has the "inactivity shut off time" set. This
could be a good thing or very annoying if one set the inactivity time for
too short, like 5 minutes. But one interesting feature I discovered by
accident is that the stop watch will keep running even after the unit
turns itself off. So if the unit turns itself off and one turns it back
on 10 hours later, one would find the stop watch has been running more
than 10 hours...I think this is great!
Now, one feature I really hope someone can patch it into the stop watch is
the timer/alerm function. For example, if one is roasting coffee, one
might use the stop watch to keep track of the time, keep roasting log,
etc. One might also learn the first crack always occurs somewhere after
10 minutes. In this case, one can star the stop watch and set the count
down timer for 10minutes. No more fear of missing the first crack and no
more need to check the time constantly in the first 10 minutes, nothing to
be done before the first crack anyway for those who know about roasting..
