Frequently asked questions

How precise is the stopwatch?
It shows hundredths of a second and measures elapsed time from a high-resolution clock, so the reading is accurate. Human reaction time on the start and stop buttons is usually the larger factor over short intervals.
What do the lap times mean?
Each lap records two things: the split, which is how long that individual lap took, and the total, which is the cumulative time since you started. The fastest split is marked as your best and the slowest is flagged, so trends are easy to spot.
Does it keep timing if I switch tabs?
Yes. Elapsed time is calculated from the start moment rather than a tick that could pause, so switching away and back shows the correct time. Reset clears the clock and all laps.
