This makes the online stopwatch an ideal solution for accurate, reliable, and versatile time management.
How to use online stopwatch
- Start and Stop: Click the “Start” button to begin timing. The stopwatch starts counting immediately and continues until you press the “Stop” button.
- Record Laps: Press the “Lap” button to capture the current elapsed time. Each lap is recorded and added to the lap list, allowing you to track intervals or compare performance.
- Reset the Stopwatch: To clear the recorded laps and restart the stopwatch, press the “Reset” button. This option is available when the stopwatch is stopped.
The stopwatch’s data-saving feature ensures that your timing progress and lap records remain intact even if the browser is closed. Additionally, you can customize the appearance, including text color, font size, and style, to suit your preferences. These settings are saved automatically and will be applied the next time you use the stopwatch.
How LAP, TIME, and TOTAL TIME are calculated:
LAP:
Each time you press the “Lap” button, the stopwatch records the time elapsed since the previous lap (or since the start if it’s the first lap). This is calculated as:
Lap Time = Current Time – Previous Lap Time
TIME:
The “Time” column displays the time interval between consecutive lap button presses. It essentially represents the individual lap durations. For the first lap, it’s the time from the stopwatch start to the first lap recorded.
TOTAL TIME:
The “Total Time” column represents the cumulative time from the start of the stopwatch up to the moment each lap is recorded. This is calculated as:
Total Time = Time Elapsed Since Stopwatch Started
For example:
- Lap 4: Time =
00:00.82, Total Time =00:20.81 - Lap 3: Time =
00:01.22, Total Time =00:19.99 - Lap 2: Time =
00:18.27, Total Time =00:18.77 - Lap 1: Time =
00:00.49, Total Time =00:00.49 - Lap 4 Calculation:
- Lap Time =
Current Time - Previous Lap Time - Lap Time =
20.81 - 19.99 = 00:00.82 - Total Time =
20.81
- Lap Time =
