If it's a "professional" stopwatch then it should display at least 100ths of a second, no? It only shows seconds.

Looks like a nice timer/alarm but not really a stopwatch - apimac

Yes, this coud be true, but how much users are so fast to press stop at a specific 100ths of second? Maybe that feature could be of just aesthetic feature. Different could be whether the application could be linked with some automatic devices.

You have NO understanding... - artie505

...of what a stopwatch does...

It measures the amount of time that passes between when a user clicks start and stop, so "[...] how much users are so fast to press stop at a specific 100ths of second?" is irrelevant, and what really matters is how many seconds or 100ths or 1000ths thereof pass during a measured time interval.

In today's world, e.g. the Olympics, an instrument that measures time in increments larger than 1000ths of a second is most assuredly NOT a professional stopwatch.

In order to qualify as a stopwatch in even the most mundane circumstances an instrument must measure time in increments no larger than 100ths of a second.
