Abstract:
1. A method of displaying elapsed time on a display of a wristworn device, wherein the wristworn device comprises said display, at least one rotatable display hand for displaying elapsed time, a rotatable seconds hand for displaying elapsed time related to the time of day (TOD), and wherein rotation of the at least one display hand can be initiated and terminated, and wherein during a first mode the seconds hand is rotating about the display at a first rate, the method comprises the steps of: starting the rotation of the at least one display hand; stopping the rotation of the seconds hand until the at least one display hand is at least essentially coincident with the seconds hand; starting the rotation of the seconds hand so that the seconds hand and the at least one display hand rotate together at the first rate and remain at least essentially coincident; stopping the rotation of the at least one display hand; and thereafter, rotating the seconds hand at a rate faster than the first rate until the seconds hand reaches a position at which the seconds hand would have been had it not been stopped; and then causing the seconds hand to rotate about the display at the first rate.
