Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the online stopwatch?
The stopwatch uses requestAnimationFrame for smooth updates and is accurate to centiseconds (1/100th of a second).
Can I record lap times?
Yes, click the lap button (flag icon) while the stopwatch is running. Each lap shows split time and total time.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes, fully responsive and works on all modern mobile browsers.
Is this stopwatch free?
Yes, completely free. No download or signup needed.
Can I use this online stopwatch offline after loading it?
While the online stopwatch requires an active internet connection to initially load in your browser, it generally needs to maintain that connection to function optimally. If your internet disconnects during use, the stopwatch might continue running for a period, but refreshing the page or closing the tab will likely reset it, and any recorded lap times will not be saved without an active connection.
How do I identify my fastest lap time on this online stopwatch?
After you've recorded multiple laps using the "Lap" button, the online stopwatch automatically highlights your fastest lap time. Look for the lap entry that is visually distinguished, often by a different color or bolding. This makes it easy to quickly identify your best split among all the recorded intervals, perfect for timing races or tracking progress during workouts without any manual calculation needed.
