What is a watch with a second hand?

No, it's a real old fashioned item.

It's a watch that has three hands, an hour hand, a minute hand, and a second hand.

The second hand is used to count pulses with. You can count for 15 seconds, or for a full minute, for instance.

Is that kind of like a rotary phone?

No, it's a real old fashioned item.

Have things changed since my youngest, who's almost 16, was in kindergarten?

Don't mean to make light of the OP, but this is funny!! :)

Goodness....I didn't think things have changed that much. OMG..I know I'm old but not that old :rotfl:

If a watch already has a hour hand and a minute hand....then why is it called a second hand watch? Shouldn't it be called a third hand? :rotfl:

Hours - minutes - seconds.... hence "watch with a second hand"

rather than first hand - second hand - third hand....

Sorry, but this thread is just hilarious

LOL! This is why I won't purchase a digital display watch for my kids. They need to learn how to tell time on a watch that has the whole picture not just numbers displayed for them!

Is that a digital watch that counts down the seconds? I am in my first semester at school. Please tell me because I have to buy it. I came here because you guys are more experienced. Thanks.

Your just kidding, right?

I think nursing's hopelessly outdated in some ways. This is one.

I use a digital watch--it's the more exact of the two types.

I feel so old.

I have used a digital watch that counts down seconds for pulses and things. Works just fine. But I do use both.
