Depends on usage. The in-game "manual" TDC did require you leaving it up too long.

However, you could use it to mark time between measurements. Counting out 3 minutes and 15 seconds for a second observation (for the easy "3:15 rule" solution) is a LOT easier with a working stopwatch/chronometer.

Currently, in Sh4, it does nothing at all. You totally have to wing all time measurements, or have your own stopwatch in-hand (but that won't sync with in-game time compression settings like an in-game chrono will, so...)
