The wood clock?

it is tied to the stopwatch in the periscope views and will only tick away if you are actively timing a torpedo's time to impact.

Ie, you take your shot, the red hand appears at the impact time, the second hand starts ticking... pull down the wooden stopwatch in the map view and it will also be running.

but you cant run that clock independently of the periscope clocks

hi yeah i mean the wooden clock . like if i want to measure the distance travelled in a certain time to calculate the speed i just cant start the stopwatch to take the reading.
The stopwatch timing the torpedoes works fine

Actually, the wood-cased watch is just a repeater for the working stopwatch in the periscope and UZO views. It will do more than just time torpedo runs. It will run any time the peri/UZO watch is running. BUT you can't control it - start, stop, reset functions don't work. You can use it on the nav map to measure intervals, but you have start the peri/UZO watch, then go to the nav map and use the wood-cased watch to make your observations "on the fly". A bit inconvenient, but limited by the sh3.exe code. Maybe someday, Maestro Stiebler will give us a patch to make it fully functional. (Hint, hint!
