Remember this!
Chronograph and stopwatch are both devices used to measure time intervals, but they differ in design, functionality, portability, accuracy, and usage. A chronograph is a watch with additional features to measure and record time intervals, often used in sports or scientific experiments. On the other hand, a stopwatch is a handheld device solely focused on timing, commonly used in sports, fitness, and timing events.
