# Stopwatch animated icon

The stopwatch is started and times a lap. Light: the plunger is pressed in with a click and springs back; on the click the sweep hand runs at a steady pace from 12 to 20 seconds, stops dead and ticks back into place; the time stays. Strong: the thumb lifts first and presses harder, the hand runs, and a second press stops it dead; the hand shudders twice and settles. The case never moves. The reset fades the hand back to 12.
