According to THIS the limit is 11h 55m, which strikes me as odd.

I tested this of course and I’m currently at 41:24:03

Below are are some older screenshots. I’m going to let it run until it stops or rolls over. Tomorrow morning I’m also going to hit the lap timer, to see what time it records, if it is more than 11h 55m.

UPDATE:

It appears there is no limit to the stopwatch :D

See screenshots further down in the thread

hope you can get to 99:59:59 without the battery running out ;)

Still running ….

Lap timer seems to be open, no specific limit

I also deciphered the red dot / green dot: red is longest lap, green the shortest

This is the kind of test I am happy someone feels it is important to try out. Theoretically, if you never use the stopwatch for anything else, could you use it for quitting smoking or other long-term count?

I swiped left to shut off the timer.

Then I opened it again, just to see if it reset.

It doesn't reset, simply keeps going.

I was tempted to hit the Stop button but left it going lol
