The red needle and the numerical value in the centre show the running time in seconds. The smaller 
display in the inner area shows minutes and hours. 
The display on the right side shows the current lap time with an accuracy of 1/100 seconds. There is 
no difference between the stopwatch and lap times if there are not yet any laps with split times 
stored in the lap timer.
