How about the following: IF tenths are turned off AND stopwatch is running, THEN automatic power down is enabled AND the time difference is carried forward to power up AND stopwatch is re-started with the time difference added.

Not sure I like it because it's error prone. Even though the user is supposedly unconcerned about the accuracy of the stopwatch in this scenario, the calculator would be showing a result with the potential inaccuracy of +/- 1 sec. This error could also increase to n*(+/-1 sec) with n power down cycles. I would tend not to trust an instrument that could return erroneous results.

I think probably Pascal's approach is the winner.
