Is there a stopwatch ??

Question

I'm kind of shocked at having so much difficulty finding such a basic app.
Mac's come with a calculator , a dictionary and even chess , so where's the stopwatch/timer ?
easy star I hope

Ok, Let's try this route(& MacUpdate has a lot of info for timers & swatches). Open Script Editor/File/New and paste this:
tell application "Terminal"
activate
do script "time cat"
end tell
Then in top menu of that page: hit Compile, record, stop and run(let them all do their task before doing each task). And save menu as Application to Desktop(or wherever). Once that's done , double click that app and terminal will start running your stopwatch/timer until you stop it with control c. And "real" is what you want. Then type exit and close window. Now what I just typed was the long way to do what I answered earlier, but as a lovely parting gift you get a desktop App......

Thank you but I'll pass. I can see disaster written all over that wall. I've crashed a few computers fooling around with things I didn't understand.
