📝 Frequently Asked Questions
❓ Where do I see the pause results? ▼
Every time you click the "Pause" button, the current time is automatically saved and displayed in the "Pause Results" box above the Lap Times. This helps you track multiple pause moments during your timing session.
❓ What is a lap time? ▼
Lap time records the current elapsed time without stopping the main timer. Each lap shows the time from start and the difference from the previous lap. Perfect for running, swimming, or interval training.
❓ Is this stopwatch accurate? ▼
Yes! This stopwatch uses JavaScript's requestAnimationFrame and Date.now() for millisecond precision (1/1000 of a second). It's accurate for sports, cooking, and professional use.
