WP-34S: Stopwatch - bug, feature, or user error?

[walter b]

I cannot reproduce your observation on the emulator using the latest build (3626). My WP 34S v3 doesn't have a quartz built in, and my WP 34S v2.2 doesn't feature STOPW yet, so I can't test your observations on the real thing. Sorry.

Can you try to update your WP 34S to said build and check if the problem persists?

(I prepared this answer earlier today and now find Pascal has responded quicker. The 4 - 5 minutes you report obviously point to auto-power-down - as written above I have no means to verify that, however.)
