Hmmm...maybe I'm doing something wrong, then.

In Sh3, the stopwatch works one of two ways:
- On the notepad, when you go to the 'speed' section, click on the stopwatch icon and let it run for a while
- To use on its own, click it, and it runs. Click it again, and it stops.

Neither works in Sh4. Clicking it...well, you can keep clicking it, it doesn't seem to have any effect. And needless to say, the time function of the torpedo entry gauge/dial/thing in Sh4 doesn't work at all.

Is there some other way to get it working in Sh4?

Click only on the stem at the very top of the watch - it will switch to stopwatch mode and start counting off the elapsed seconds with the main big hand and the minutes with the main little hand - then click the top stem again when you're ready to stop - not sure what the little hands in the bottom dial do, but I think they activate when the torpedoes fire or something.

Good luck!
