Stopwatch

← All tools

A running chronograph hand sweeps the bezel once a minute while the readout counts up in hundredths of a second. Tap Lap while it's running to record a split — clocklab keeps every lap in a table with the gap from the previous one, and highlights your fastest and slowest.

How to use the Stopwatch

  1. Tap Start to begin timing — the sweep hand and readout start moving immediately.
  2. Tap Lap at any point to record a split; it's added to the table below with its own time and the delta from the previous lap.
  3. Tap Stop to freeze the readout, or Start again (now labelled Resume) to keep adding to the same run.
  4. Tap Reset once stopped to clear the time and lap table and start fresh.

FAQ

How accurate is the timing?
The stopwatch reads the actual elapsed time from a timestamp on every render rather than incrementing a counter, so pausing, resuming, or a slow/busy browser tab never causes drift — the displayed time is always the real elapsed time.
What do the highlighted lap rows mean?
The lap with the shortest gap from the one before it is highlighted in cyan (your best split); the longest gap is highlighted in red (your slowest) — useful for spotting your fastest and slowest reps at a glance.
Can I lap without stopping the clock?
Yes — Lap only records a split, it never pauses or resets the running time.
Does it show hours for long runs?
Yes, the readout is always HH:MM:SS.CS, so multi-hour sessions still read correctly.
