Since my beginnings in mid 70's I'm using some kind of stopwatch to time my film developing, first mechanical, then digital. For the last ~20 years I was using Ikea Wirra 18951 watch, alarm clock, stopwatch, room temperature device, deepening of the orientation of the sensor. Now lower half of the digits start disappearing and precise timing become iffy. I'm looking for something similar to replace it. Of course, Ikea does not make it any more.
What are you using for timing that is not label "for photography" " like Gra Lab or..?? View attachment 236273
My wrist watch. I start pouring about 10 seconds before the second hand sweeps up to the top of the dial. I also write down the precise start time on a piece of paper and add in the development time to tell me when to stop. That way I do not become confused trying to remember when 10 minutes is up. I only have to worry about my tank inversion regime on a minute by minute basis.
I am surprised at the number of people who use clocks of some sort. On another forum the answer most participants gave was an app.
