Download.com Staff Feb 27, 2009

Despite its unappealing facade, this no-frills clock utility handles well. Ultimate Stopwatch's drab interface won't win any beauty accolades, but it's easy enough for anyone to operate. Once downloaded, you'll find a stopwatch and a countdown clock that can be set to count up or down from a user-specified start time. We liked that the controls, including Start, Pause, Stop, Clear, and Lap Time, could be maneuvered using user-specified hot keys. What's more, you're able to send results to a clipboard or save them in text files. An alarm feature definitely would add more purpose to this clock utility, and options to spruce up the digital display also would have been nice additions.

Ultimate Stopwatch performed well, though it hovered awkwardly on top of the other windows and wouldn't let us hide or minimize the digital display to the taskbar. If you can get past the unattractive appearance and a few design quirks, then Ultimate Stopwatch may be a suitable clock utility for you.
