Screwdown chrono pushers - leave out or in?

[notenoughwrists]

Just a silly thought but if you have, do you leave them screwed in until you need to use the timer function, or do you leave them screwed out and “ready” - and only screw them in once the timer is running, so it doesn’t accidentally get stopped/reset?
Or even, not screw them in at all (unless swimming maybe, and it’s an older watch)?

Whatcha doing?

Screwed in unless using the functions.

I'd probably leave them screwed down until I wanted to use the chrono function, but if it's an older chrono I wouldn't be swimming with it full stop, even if it's passed a pressure test!

Screwed down when not in use for me.

I would also leave them screwed in unless I'm using the function.

Keep them screwed in. The whole thing looks prettier that way.

I think the only purpose is to stop activation whilst underwater - they don't affect the water resistance as such.Always keep screwed down though.

Likewise.

if you leave them unscrewed there's a risk of them popping off. This is what happened to me. I HATE screw down pushers. I would like to find out if there is a way to change them retrospectively to normal pushers as they are just a pain all round.

So, yes, screw them down after use.

Screwed down all the time. It just looks better. Anyway, I use my phone app thingy to do actual, worthwhile, timing stuff.

Always screwed down

You mean you actually use your chrono function? I should try harder.

[Shuggy#1]

Definetly screwed down.

[Nealywheelie]

Screwed down, unless you are using the chrono' function. Why would you leave them 'undone'?
Would you leave your winding crown unscrewed?
