How to Use your iPod As a Stop Watch by Daniel Dwase...

The stopwatch on Fifth/Sixth Generation iPods and iPod nano comes in very handy whether you're lap training, timing your little one doing her workout or simply want to find out how much time it takes to do something.

To set the stopwatch on your iPod, proceed as follows:

1. Select Extras > Stopwatch > Timer. The Stopwatch screen is displayed.

2. To start the stopwatch or timing, scroll the Click Wheel to highlight (as shown in the image above) the Start (on the left) button and press the Center button to "click" it. 3. Both the total time counter (the top time display) and the lap timer begin counting. During this time, the Start button changes to a Pause button, while the Clear (right) button changes to a Lap button.

4. To keep track of your lap times, choose the Lap button (using the Click Wheel and the Center button). When you complete a lap the stopwatch records the lap time in its log and resets the lap timer and starts counting again.

5. To stop any of the timers at any time choose the Pause button. The left button now changes to a Resume button while the right button changes to a Done button.

6. If you're taking a break and would like to continue choose the Resume button to continue counting. If you've had enough, choose the Done button to record all your final times to the log.

7. To view a log of your performance (total time, shortest lap time, average lap time, individual lap times, and more), choose Extras > Stopwatch and then choose the log from the menu. The Stopwatch menu lists logs by date and time.
