Meaning
A stopwatch, a handheld timing device used to measure elapsed time. In conversation it commonly conveys urgency, deadlines, or time pressure, as in racing against the clock. It can also signal that something is being timed, such as a workout, a task, or a countdown. People often use it to mean "hurry up" or to mark a moment that needs to be measured precisely. Its meaning overlaps with other clock symbols, so context usually determines whether it suggests speed, measurement, or simply the general concept of time.
