Types of a Stopwatch
There are three types of a stopwatch: digital, analog, and mechanical.
Digital stopwatches use a liquid crystal display (LCD) to show the time. They are the most common type of stopwatch and are available in a variety of sizes and shapes.
Analog stopwatches use a dial and hands to show the time. They are not as common as digital stopwatches, but are still available in a variety of sizes and shapes.
Mechanical stopwatches use a clockwork mechanism to measure time. They are not as common as digital or analog stopwatches, and are usually only found in antique stores.
