What is a Stopwatch Tool?
A Stopwatch Tool is a digital timepiece designed to measure the amount of time that elapses between its activation and deactivation. Unlike a regular clock, a stopwatch can be started, stopped, and reset to zero. Our online version includes a lap timer, which allows you to record split times or the duration of multiple consecutive intervals without interrupting the main timer.
