This article (Certified chronometer) and Chronometer watch are largely duplications. It seems to me that the material about COSC certification should be in an article with a title like COSC certified chronometer because other groups have certified chronometers over history. It also appears to me that the articles should recognize that the word "chronometer", while it has a specific meaning when applied to Swiss watches, in general means a device for accurately measuring time. There are a number of such devices listed at Chronometer (disambiguation). I am hopeful that an editor with an interest in this area might work on this issue. I will post a request at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Time#COSC certified chronometer. I'd be happy to help. Thank you. SchreiberBike (talk) 18:21, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
Criteria edit
Is "displaying the seconds" sufficient? Is the stopwatch function unnecessary? As far as I understood, a Chronometer is always a Chronograph, and the article Chronograph defines this as a watch with a stopwatch complication. --BjKa (talk) 19:57, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
