Can someone explain the darn dash clock?
Sport chrono; I get it. It make the car go zoom.
The unsightly bubble on the dash… when do I use it? What does it do? Does it show the time? How does it record laps? Do I push a button to start/stop it? Can it do anything else?
…and why is the sub second clock worth $4k?!!? What am I doing, where I care about fractional seconds, which would be safe for me to look at a tiny dash clock???

To me the dash clock is mostly decoration and a hat tip to Porsche racing lineage. It is functional and in the absence of a smartphone app that trips your start/finish line automatically the Sport Chronograph clock *can* give you crude lap times manually. Here is how to use it.

I like the sophisticated watch-like look of the subsecond clock, but not for $1,120!! And I have mine with the chalk ring, which was $420 (for a freaking ring of color, probably not money well spent either to be honest), but if you get the subsecond, you cannot choose any of the color accents. Which I get, that would defeat the purpose of it looking more sophisticated.
