What Does the ⏱ stopwatch Emoji Mean?
A stopwatch with a crown button on top and a visible second hand, drawn as the handheld sports timer rather than a wall clock. Elapsed time is what it measures, which separates it from every other clock in the set: those tell you when, while this one tells you how long something took, which is a different question entirely.

About stopwatch Emoji
Usage: Timed workouts and race results use it. Cooking posts reach for it where timing is the point rather than the clock. Productivity content uses it for focus sessions and timeboxing, and it appears in anything being measured against a duration, which is a different question from what time it currently is.
The character was encoded in Unicode 6.0 in 2010 and designated an emoji in 2015. The set carries a stopwatch, a timer clock, an alarm clock, a mantelpiece clock and twenty four face clocks showing specific times, which is a great deal of horology.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between ⏱ and ⏲?
Mechanism. The stopwatch measures elapsed time with a crown and second hand, while the timer clock counts down from a set point. One records, the other warns.
How many clock emoji exist?
Rather a lot. Beyond the stopwatch, timer and alarm clock there are twenty four faces showing specific half-hour positions, which is unusual thoroughness.
Why does ⏱ sometimes render flat?
It needs a variation selector to request the emoji form, so systems without one fall back to a monochrome typographic character.
