A watch including an electronic movement driving display for an analog display on a dial of at least one additional function in addition to a normal current time display, the at least one function being controlled by a controller and including at least one phase using an operating mode in which a duration of the phase is measured.

The present invention is a method for measuring and performing a throwing technique. The method of performing the technique includes the steps of: running toward a location with a ball in the non-throwing hand, crossing the location and transferring the ball to the throwing hand, and throwing the ball to a destination. The method of measuring the technique includes the steps of: beginning time measurement at the moment a thrower crosses a location, stopping time measurement at the moment a ball reaches a destination, and factoring potential environmental elements into the measured time to determine a running throw value.

A force sensor including: a first part including a detection coil; a second part positioned opposite the first part and including: a ferromagnetic plate translationally movable relative to the first part to move towards the first part when a force is transferred to the sensor and to reduce reluctance of a magnetic circuit formed by the first and second parts in series with a variable gap; and an electronic detection circuit configured to generate a signal dependent on the reluctance of the magnetic circuit. The ferromagnetic plate is formed by an amorphous metal alloy.
