** This problem with forces is also in play the other way around. For example, if the watches only accelerate the wearer's biological processes, then the acceleration caused by the force of gravity is unchanged. This would cause the characters walk like astronauts on another planet (though perhaps to a different degree). Zak is also seen letting go of garbage back that drop at what looks like a normal speed while in hypertime. In fact, the bags should fall much more slowly.

* ArtisticLicensePhysics: If a person were really sped up in such a way, placing your hand on a table would have the effect of slapping it hard. Running at a wall would hit it with the force of a car, which sounds nice but remember your skeleton isn't reinforced to handle that. Worse, your molecules would be vibrating at such a speed that anything you touch would [[IncendiaryExponent light on fire]]. It could be said that these kinks have been worked out of using the watch normally. Zak's dad [[LampShading points this out]] when Zak prepares to use the watch while in hypertime.

''Clockstoppers'' is a 2002 film, directed by Creator/JonathanFrakes, that follows the story of OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent Zak Gibbs (Creator/JesseBradford), who stumbles upon an AppliedPhlebotinum watch that allows him to [[TimeStandsStill stop time]] (okay, technically, it gives the wearer SuperSpeed and alters their perception of time). Before long, he's tangled up in a conspiracy as Quantum Tech, the company developing the technology, comes after him and will stop at nothing to get it back.
