77 days, 14 hours and 30 minutes remaining, updating every second.

Timing a short task
Stopwatch started, then paused after a short task
Hours, minutes, seconds and tenths of a second, which stop when paused and reset to zero when reset is pressed.
The exact reading depends on how long the task took, so the stopwatch shows the real elapsed time.
Informazioni su Countdown Timer and Stopwatch
A countdown timer shows how long is left until a date and time you choose. Enter the date, optionally name the event, and the display shows the days, hours, minutes and seconds remaining, updating every second. It suits launches, holidays, exam dates, deadlines and the moment a live event begins. The figures keep counting down until the target is reached, then show that the moment has passed. Set it once and leave the page open while you carry on with your day, checking the figures whenever you like.
The countdown follows your local time zone, so it matches the clock you see on your computer or phone. A simple stopwatch sits beside it for timing a task, a workout or a short break. It shows hours, minutes, seconds and tenths of a second, and you can pause and resume it as often as you need. Nothing is saved between visits, so you will need to enter the date again if you reload the page. No sound is played.

How do I set a countdown to a specific date and time?
Choose the date and the time in the date and time box, using the calendar and clock controls. The countdown starts as soon as you choose a value. To count down to midnight at the start of a new year, set the time to 00:00 on 1 January. The display then shows the total days, hours, minutes and seconds left until that moment.
Does the countdown use my time zone?
Yes. The date and time you enter are read as local time on the computer or phone you are using, so the countdown matches your clock. If you are counting down to an event held in another city, convert the start time to your local time first using a time zone converter, then enter the converted time here.
Will the countdown make a sound when it finishes?
No. This countdown is silent and does not play an alert when the time is reached. The display shows zeros and a message that the date has passed. If you need an alarm, set one on your phone or computer for the same moment as a backup, because a silent screen is easy to miss when you are busy with something else.
How accurate is the stopwatch?
The stopwatch measures the real time that has passed since you started it, and it shows tenths of a second. The display refreshes several times a second, so the figure is precise enough for everyday timing, such as a workout, a cooking step or a quick test. For official races or scientific work, use equipment designed for that purpose.
Why does the countdown reset when I reload the page?
The calculator does not save anything between visits, so each time you open the page it starts fresh, and the stopwatch also starts from zero. Enter the date again and the countdown will continue from the correct figure. If you need a reminder that lasts longer, keep the page open or add the date to your calendar.
