Use a stopwatch.
Instead of a stopwatch, you can use a digital timer or a smartphone app specifically designed for precise timing, as these often feature advanced functions like lap timing and split times. For even greater accuracy, consider using a GPS-based timing device or a high-speed camera that can capture time intervals with frame-by-frame analysis. Additionally, specialized timing systems used in professional sports can provide highly accurate measurements.
The number of significant figures that can be recorded on a stopwatch typically depends on the resolution of the stopwatch itself. For most digital stopwatches, the time can be recorded to the nearest hundredth of a second, allowing for three significant figures (e.g., 12.34 seconds). Analog stopwatches may vary, but they often provide two significant figures (e.g., 12.3 seconds) depending on the precision of the measurement. Ultimately, the precision of the stopwatch dictates the number of significant figures that can be reported.
is this for digital or analog?
Yes
Usually a stopwatch. Higher quality stopwatches will give better resolution in results.

A basic digital stopwatch typically weighs around 2-4 ounces. However, this can vary depending on the brand, model, and additional features such as a durable casing or extra functions.
The primary use of a stopwatch is to time the duration of an event. Example: how many minutes/seconds does it take for a runner to race one mile -- "start" the stopwatch when the starting gun fires, then click "stop" as the runner crosses the finish line. You can try a stopwatch yourself on-line to get a sense of how it works and give you ideas of what you might be able to use it for. Just Google "on line stopwatch" you should get several options.
Use a stopwatch, when you have prepared everything, start the stopwatch and start your skill, when you have finished if it takes you a couple of seconds to stop the stopwatch deduct it from the time displayed on the screen.
A digital stopwatch is a timer usually used to record the time it takes to cook something or for athletes who need to have their running time recorded. There is a start/stop button and also a lap button to mark a lap has been completed.
There are many types of chronographs.Analog chronographs show both time and stopwatch functions with analog hands. Typically the center hand will be used for stopwatch functions, while subdials may indicate seconds, stopwatch minutes and hours and (in some quartz chronographs) tenths or hundredths of a second. A variation of this chronograph is the Bull-one head, with the movement rotated 90 degrees, placing the crown and buttons at the top of the watch rather than the traditional location on side.Digital chronographs use a digital display for both timekeeping and stopwatch functions, either with separate displays or by switching modes on a single display.Analog-digital chronographs have a standard analog watch with permanent center seconds and a separate digital display that usually operates independently of the analog section. A fallback will reset to zero and then continue to run when the reset button is pushed while the stopwatch is running. In contrast, most mechanical chronographs will reset to zero only when the stopwatch is stopped.
Mechanical stopwatches are generally accurate to within a fraction of a second, depending on the quality and maintenance of the stopwatch. However, they are not as precise as digital stopwatches due to the potential for human error in starting and stopping the timer manually.
It depends on the stopwatch.
