Large Stopwatch
About the Large Stopwatch
The large stopwatch exists for one reason: digits you can read from across the room without glasses, guesswork, or walking closer. Where a phone stopwatch demands arm-length viewing, this layout supersizes the numerals within a normal browser window - useful when full-screen takeover is not an option because you still need other windows visible. Teachers keep it in a corner of a projected desktop next to slides. Physical therapists prop a tablet on the counter and read elapsed hold times from across the treatment room while both hands support a patient.
How to use it
- Open the large stopwatch on the device that will face you or the group.
- Adjust browser zoom once so digits suit your longest viewing distance.
- Press the big Start button or Space to begin timing.
- Tap the oversized Lap button at each checkpoint you care about.
- Use Stop, then Reset - deliberately separated - when the session truly ends.
Good to know
The stopwatch counts while this tab is open. A slept tab can pause or jump. For a race result you may need to keep the phone unlocked in your hand.
