The stopwatch usually shows minutes, seconds and milliseconds until 1 hour, after which it shows hours, minutes and seconds.

After reaching 24 hours, many stopwatches start at zero, but some keep the hour-minute-second display instead of returning to minutes-seconds-milliseconds.

I can remember this from my childhood where I happened to test it.

strangely enough, I believe I recall noticing the same thing when I was a kid.

Back then, a stopwatch was all it took to keep me entertained.

I also repeatedly tried stopping exactly at __.00 seconds (with two zeroes behind decimal).

oh absolutely. And when it would sometimes land on .99, it was just as cool.

I was too young to find .69 funny.
