What Is the Stopwatch?
A stopwatch is a precise timing tool that measures elapsed time from the moment you start it to when you stop. Perfect for timing workouts, tracking how long tasks take, monitoring cooking and baking steps, or measuring laps and intervals during sports training. Unlike a countdown timer that runs toward zero, a stopwatch counts upward, giving you total control to start, pause, resume, and reset as needed. The lap feature lets you record split times without stopping the main timer, ideal for tracking each segment of a longer activity separately.
The Formula
Elapsed time using system clock.
Example
Start the stopwatch when you begin a task and pause it to check elapsed time, then resume without resetting. Use the lap feature to record split times for each mile of a run or each section of a long meeting. Reset to zero between separate activities like tracking multiple workout sets.
Common Uses
Workouts, productivity, cooking, games.
