In fact, if left running for extended periods of time, electronic chronograph/stopwatch functions on some watches will stop running automatically. To conserve battery power, it is best to stop the chronograph function when the need for timing is completed.

it is not advisable to replace the battery until it is absolutely necessary.

The old adage “if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it” holds true for battery-operated watches.
