Depending on the type of the stopwatch, divisions of: 1/10 s, 1/100 s, 1/1000 s
The number of significant figures that can be recorded on a stopwatch typically depends on the resolution of the stopwatch itself. For most digital stopwatches, the time can be recorded to the nearest hundredth of a second, allowing for three significant figures (e.g., 12.34 seconds). Analog stopwatches may vary, but they often provide two significant figures (e.g., 12.3 seconds) depending on the precision of the measurement. Ultimately, the precision of the stopwatch dictates the number of significant figures that can be reported.

The number of digits in a measurement that you know with a certain degree of reliability is referred to as significant figures. Significant figures include all the known digits in a measurement plus one estimated digit, indicating the precision of the measurement. For example, if a measurement is recorded as 12.3, it has three significant figures, reflecting a reliable accuracy up to the tenths place. The more significant figures, the greater the confidence in the accuracy of the measurement.
There are 5 significant figures in this measurement.
