[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..
