The precision of stopwatch measurements can be affected by human reaction time, which can vary among individuals. Additionally, mechanical limitations in the stopwatch mechanism, such as the time it takes for the button to be pressed and the time it takes for the display to start or stop, can introduce errors in the measurements. Environmental factors such as temperature and humidity can also impact the accuracy of stopwatch measurements.

The measurements are not as precise as they could be because many peoples' response times are of the order of a tenth of a second. This makes it pointless to have a stopwatch recording times to a hundredth of a second.

It is important because PRECISE means exact, and exact measurements are important because it tells you the actual measurement of an object, other than to tell you an estimate, not knowing the exact measurement of that object
In terms of precision, 8 inches is more precise than 8 feet. This is because inches are a smaller unit of measurement compared to feet, with 1 foot being equivalent to 12 inches. Therefore, when measuring in inches, there are more increments or divisions within a foot, allowing for more precise measurements.
