Have a chrono, but don't need a chrono, anyone else?

Anyone else have a chrono but come to realization they just don't have any use for one? After a few months owning a 3570.50 I realize that I have zero need for a chrono. Love the watch, but just sayin I have no need for a chrono. I guess Ive gotten used to using the dive bezel on my other watches to time things. Since I rarely need "to the second" timing, it works fine for me. The speedy was more about having "the" watch rather than having a chrono in my collection, although I did use it as an excuse to have one. I don't believe I have used the chrono function for anything since Ive had it. I do cook a lot but usually wear my Seiko Om for that duty. Wouldn't want any onion peels stuck in my Speedy bracelet.

Anyone here own a chrono that they actually use in their daily lives and bought specifically for a purpose other than drooling over?
