About the Online Stopwatch

Time workouts, cooking, study sessions, experiments or customer calls with a stopwatch that records to a hundredth of a second. The lap function logs splits without stopping the clock, and the elapsed time is driven by your device's high-resolution timer — so it stays accurate even if your screen throttles. Big, glanceable digits make it readable from across the room or the running track.

How to use the Online Stopwatch

  1. Press Start (or the space bar) to begin timing.
  2. Press Lap to record a split without stopping.
  3. Press Stop to pause, Start again to resume.
  4. Use Reset to clear the clock and laps.

Key features

How accurate is a browser stopwatch?
It measures against the system clock with sub-millisecond resolution, and elapsed time is computed from timestamps — so display hiccups do not accumulate error.
Do laps stop the main timer?
No — a lap is a snapshot of the current elapsed time. The stopwatch keeps running so you can record multiple splits in one session.
