You really couldn't figure this out yourself?

The small dial tells you the number of minutes. Then, if the small hand is not in a red section, you add the number of seconds by reading the black numbers, otherwise the red numbers, for the big hand. The lines then indicate the tens of seconds.

What are some tips for reading a stopwatch fast?

1. Familiarize yourself with the layout of the stopwatch: Before attempting to read the stopwatch, make sure you understand the different parts of it, such as the start and stop buttons, the reset button, and the display screen.

2. Practice with a digital stopwatch: Digital stopwatches are easier to read compared to analog ones. Use a digital stopwatch to practice reading and getting familiar with the numbers and buttons.

3. Use your peripheral vision: Instead of focusing on the stopwatch display, try using your peripheral vision to keep track of the numbers while you focus on the task at hand.

4. Count in your head: As the stopwatch counts up, try counting along with it in your head. This can help you stay focused and avoid losing track of the numbers.

5. Read the numbers in groups: Instead of trying to read each number individually, try reading them in groups of two or three. This can help you read faster and more accurately.
