How to Use the Online Stopwatch
Our Online Stopwatch Timer is a precision tool designed for a variety of timing needs, from tracking workout intervals to timing presentations or cooking. It provides a large, easy-to-read display and simple controls for starting, stopping, resetting, and recording lap times. All functionality runs directly in your browser, so there's no need for any downloads or installations. It's a reliable and convenient way to measure elapsed time accurately down to the millisecond.
Start Timing
Click the "Start" button to begin the stopwatch. The timer will immediately start counting up from zero, displaying hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds.
Stop / Pause
Click the "Stop" button (which replaces "Start" when running) to pause the stopwatch. The time will freeze, allowing you to record it or resume later by clicking "Start" again.
Record Laps
While the stopwatch is running, click the "Lap" button to record the current time as a lap. Each lap time will be added to a list below the main display for easy reference.
Reset Stopwatch
Click the "Reset" button to stop the timer (if running) and reset the display and all recorded lap times back to zero. This button is typically enabled when the timer is stopped or has recorded laps.
Why Use an Online Stopwatch?
An online stopwatch offers immediate accessibility without the need for a physical device or app installation. It's perfect for quick timing tasks on your computer or mobile device. Whether you're a student timing study sessions for the Pomodoro Technique, an athlete tracking training intervals, a chef needing precise cooking times, or a speaker rehearsing a presentation, our tool provides the accuracy and features you need. The lap time functionality is particularly useful for activities where you need to measure multiple consecutive durations within a single event. It's free, always available, and designed for simplicity and reliability.
