Generally found on sport watches or diving watches. The exterior that rests over the dial that you can turn. What is it called and what are they used for?

I'm guessing it is a dank timer essentially.

Like you said, it's just a rudimentary timer that is a holdover from diving watches, originally intended to monitor air supply time.
