These are online applications that measure time. While a stopwatch is used to measure shorter time intervals, a countdown timer is more focused on how long a certain task or action will take.
Stopwatches are very often used in sports to see who is the fastest of a group of athletes. A countdown timer is most often encountered when cooking, to see how long the food still needs to be in the oven.
The first stopwatches were made before 1800. They were invented by J. T. Winnerl, who was born in Austria. Later in the 20th century, pocket and bracelet watches with stopwatches became popular. The first electronic stopwatches were on sale from 1971.
Unlike mobile apps or computer programs, our stopwatch and countdown timer do not need to be installed. The advantage is that you don't waste space on your memory cards and your operating system is cleaner and safer as you don't have to worry about any hidden malware and viruses.
