Can anyone recommend a decent free stop watch widget for MacOSX?

I would like something that is simple to use.

Depending on the functionalities you want :

• Simple & Design : iChrono

  

• More features & like a real stopwatch : Stopwatch widget

  

It's not a dashboard widget, but the Apimac Timer application is free (there's a paid Pro version with additional features) and functions as a stopwatch, countdown timer, and alarm clock. Nice and handy.

Menubar Countdown is good if you just want to countdown something http://capablehands.net/menubarcountdown

For counting down a repeating task, Pomodoro is useful (and free): http://pomodoro.ugolandini.com/
