If you’ve browsed around our website<\/a>, you’ll have undoubtedly come across stopwatches described as having a “single display<\/a>“, “dual display<\/a>“, “triple display<\/a>” or even a “quad display<\/a>“. If you’ve never purchased a stopwatch before, or have only ever used basic stopwatches, this terminology may be confusing.<\/p>\n

Triple display stopwatch screen<\/p><\/div>\n

A stopwatch with a triple display refers to the number of rows or lines of digits on its screen. A triple display stopwatch will feature three rows of digits across its display. <\/p>\n

Single display stopwatches tend to offer fewer features and often lack the ability to store lap times in memory.<\/p>\n

Stopwatches that feature multiple rows of digits however typically incorporate more advanced timing functionality. Dual, triple and quad display stopwatches allow for quick and easy access to current\/previous timing information and take advantage of the greater range of information that can be displayed simultaneously on screen at any one time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
