Anyone use their own stopwatch or chronometer?

Surely I can't be the only guy who does this...
So when I'm playing SH3 or SH4, and I'm about to fire a torpedo at a target ship, sometimes I'll look at the estimated time to impact before firing, and then start my own timer as I fire. Granted, instead of a ticking watch in my hand it's my phone running an analogue stopwatch app, but you get the idea (I DO intend to buy an actual analogue stopwatch/chronometer one day, assuming I can find one that's reliable enough but doesn't cost a fortune...) I like watching the target ship (especially when I'm on the bridge during nighttime surface attacks) and then be able just to glance down at the watch in my hand to see how much longer I should expect to wait. I know you can put the watch display on the screen, but then it's just a watch, you're not actually holding it. I don't know... maybe I'm just crazy?
