Stopwatch

What is a Stopwatch?

A stopwatch is a timing device used to measure the amount of time that elapses between its activation and deactivation. It counts *up* from zero, allowing you to precisely record durations. Many stopwatches, including this one, also feature a "lap" function to record intermediate times within a longer event.

How does the Stopwatch work?

1. Click the "Start" button to begin timing. The display will show the elapsed time counting upwards.
2. Click "Pause" to temporarily halt the timer. The elapsed time will freeze. Click "Start" again to resume from where you left off.
3. While the timer is running, click "Lap" to record the current elapsed time without stopping the main timer. Laps are displayed below.
4. Click "Reset" at any time (whether running or paused) to stop the timer, clear the elapsed time back to zero, and remove all recorded laps.

✅ Benefits of Using a Stopwatch

1. Precise Duration Measurement.
2. Performance Tracking & Analysis (Sports, Science).
3. Task Timing & Optimization.
4. Lap/Split Time Recording.
5. Event & Activity Timing.

⏱️ Who is the Stopwatch ideal for?

• Athletes, coaches, and trainers measuring performance.
• Scientists and researchers timing experiments.
• Students timing study sessions or practice tests.
• Public speakers rehearsing presentation lengths.
• Event organizers timing segments or races.
• Anyone needing to accurately measure elapsed time for any task.
