What's New in SST Stopwatch
2.2.1
September 29, 2026
One-handed operation. Start and Stop are now a single large button, placed where your thumb rests. Lap and Reset sit clear of it, so a stray press cannot end a race. After a finish the button holds at STOPPED for five seconds, then starts the next heat directly - no reset needed. More room for the swimmer's name and the clock, and the controls now scale to your device's screen. Finds the console on more pool networks.

FAQ
Does SST Stopwatch work with other swim timing systems like Colorado or Daktronics?
No, SST Stopwatch is exclusively designed for the Superior Swim Timing (SST) system. It is not compatible with Colorado, Daktronics, Omega, or any other timing systems. Using it without an SST console will limit its functionality to a basic manual stopwatch.
How does SST Stopwatch connect to the SST console?
The app automatically finds the SST console on your pool's network, eliminating the need to manually enter addresses or pair devices. Once connected, the console assigns the device to a lane, and the timer displays relevant event and swimmer information.
What features are available when SST Stopwatch is used without an SST console?
Without an SST console, SST Stopwatch functions as a straightforward manual stopwatch. You can use its start, lap, and stop functions. However, it will not be able to send times anywhere or utilize its advanced lane timing features.
Can I use a physical button with SST Stopwatch?
Yes, SST Stopwatch supports connecting a USB or Bluetooth button device or keyboard. This allows timers to control start, stop, lap, and reset functions without needing to touch the screen, which is useful for those who prefer physical buttons.
How does SST Stopwatch handle multi-length events?
For multi-length events, SST Stopwatch provides lap splits. This feature allows timers to accurately record and track split times for each length of a swimmer's race, contributing to more detailed performance analysis.
Is SST Stopwatch available in multiple languages?
Yes, SST Stopwatch is available in five languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, and French. The app automatically adjusts to your device's language settings, making it accessible to a wider range of users.
What is the price of SST Stopwatch?
SST Stopwatch is a paid application priced at $4.99. This one-time purchase grants access to its full functionality as a wireless lane timer and manual stopwatch.
