What is a stop watch?
It is a watch which is used to measure the time interval between two events. The stop watch is started at the fist event and stopped at the second. The time interval between the two events is either frozen on the display to give the user time to read it or it is recorded separately for later use. Stop watches for sporting events often measure time in hundredths of a second (which is much faster than most peoples' reflexes).
