Time events with a stopwatch on Apple Watch

Time events with accuracy and ease. Apple Watch can time full events (up to 11 hours, 55 minutes) and keep track of lap or split times, then show the results as a list, a graph, or live on your watch face. The Chronograph and Chronograph Pro watch faces have the stopwatch built in.

Open a stopwatch

Open the Stopwatch app on your Apple Watch, or tap the stopwatch on your watch face (if you’ve added it or you’re using the Chronograph or Chronograph Pro watch face).

Three watch faces showing three types of stopwatch: A digital stopwatch in the Stopwatch app, an analog stopwatch in the app, and the stopwatch controls available from the Chronograph watch face.

Start, stop, and reset the stopwatch

Open the Stopwatch app on your Apple Watch, then do any of the following:

Start: Tap the green Start button.
Record a lap: Tap the white Lap button.
Record the final time: Tap the red Stop button.
Reset the stopwatch: Tap the white Reset button or the Lap button.

The timing continues even if you switch back to the watch face or open other apps.

Review results on the display you used for timing, or change displays to analyze your lap times and fastest/slowest laps (marked with green and red) in the format you prefer. If the display includes a list of lap times, turn the Digital Crown to scroll.

Analog stopwatch screen. Tap the right button to start and stop it, and the left button to record lap times.
