Question 1

How precise is this stopwatch?

Accepted Answer

The stopwatch uses requestAnimationFrame for smooth display updates and Date.now() for timing, providing millisecond-level precision suitable for most timing needs.

Question 2

What are lap times?

Accepted Answer

Lap times record split intervals without stopping the stopwatch. Press the flag button while the timer is running to record a lap. Each lap shows both the individual lap time and the cumulative total time.

Question 3

Do the best and worst laps get highlighted?

Accepted Answer

Yes! When you have 2 or more laps, the fastest lap is highlighted in green and the slowest in red, making it easy to spot your best and worst intervals.

Question 4

Can I copy or share my lap times?

Accepted Answer

Yes, use the copy button in the laps section to copy all lap data to your clipboard. You can also share the current time using the share button.

Question 5

Does the stopwatch keep running if I switch tabs?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the stopwatch continues accurately even when you switch to another tab. The timing is based on system time, so it stays precise regardless of tab focus.
