Description
Stopwatch Max is an Apple Watch stopwatch app built for people who need more than a simple start and stop timer. It helps you capture laps quickly, keep timing accurate when your wrist is down, and control the stopwatch when touching the screen is inconvenient.
It is useful for runners, coaches, interval training, gym sessions, study sprints, cooking, and any situation where a wrist-based stopwatch is more convenient than reaching for a phone.

You can record a lap in three ways: tap the Lap button, double tap the timer display, or use the Apple Watch hand gesture while the stopwatch is running.
How do Siri Shortcuts work with Stopwatch Max?
