Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is this stopwatch?
Browser-based stopwatches are generally accurate to within a few milliseconds. However, they depend on your device's system clock. For Olympic-level timing, specialized hardware requires less than 0.001s variance, but for 99% of human uses (sports, cooking, work), this tool is perfectly accurate.
Will it run in the background?
Yes! The stopwatch calculates time based on the system clock difference, not just by counting ticks. This means if you switch tabs or minimize the window, the time will still be correct when you return.
Does it work offline?
Once loaded, the tool runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. You do not need an active internet connection to use it.
