「馬錶」之所以稱為「馬錶」，主要是因為這種計時器
最初是為了「賽馬」計時而發明的。其名稱由來與發展背景如下：
- 起源於賽馬： 在 19 世紀中期，隨著賽馬運動的興盛，裁判需要更精確的工具來測量馬匹跑完全程的時間。1878 年，這類計時儀器首次被正式應用於賽馬競技中。
- 名稱演變： 由於最初頻繁使用於賽馬場，人們便習慣稱之為「馬錶」。雖然現代已廣泛應用於田徑、游泳等各項體育賽事，但在中文習慣中仍保留了這個稱呼。
- 功能特點： 馬錶（Stopwatch）與一般手錶不同，它具備隨時啟動（Start）、停止（Stop）及歸零（Reset）的功能，能精確測量出 1/5 秒甚至 1/100 秒的微小時間間隔。
除了馬錶，這類工具在中文裡也常被稱為 「秒錶」 或 「停錶」。
