Bug Description
Currently the stopwatch timer uses the hh:mm:ss format to diplay the stopwatch time. However, in reality a stopwatch is used to measure lap times in accuracies of 1/100th of a second. Hence it is important to include that in the stopwatch timer.
Get confirmation from design team before implementing it.
By default it should show mm:ss:ms where ms is the 1/100th of a second. However when the stopwatch goes over 59 minutes, then the format should dynamically change to hh:mm:ss:ms where hh is the hour.
-------
Due to limitation in QML, it has been decided to show 1/10 of second rather than 1/100th of a second in the stopwatch label. This change has been approved by Mika Meskanen. Please read https:/

I think microseconds are too accurate. This is a manually operated stopwatch. For example, in athletics hand held times are returned to 1/10 second because of human error. E.g. http:// www.seaoa. co.uk/duties/ timekeeper/ 102-timekeeping -primary- duties. html
Out of convention, we can stick to 1/100 seconds, because that's what wristwatches provide and people are used to it.
