Thank you in advance!

I think it's just a simple loop script.

when green flag clicked
set [seconds] to [0]
forever
wait (1) secs
change [seconds] by (1)
end

Just change the time delay as needed for different increments.

That won't work due to screen refresh, just add it into a custom block without screen refresh.

when green flag clicked
set [ Milliseconds v] to [0]
set [ Seconds v] to [0]
set [Minutes v] to [0]
set [ Hours v] to [0]
forever
wait ((1) / (1000)) secs
change [Milliseconds v] by (1)
if <(Milliseconds) = [1000]> then
set [Milliseconds v] to [0]
change [Seconds v] by (1)
end
if <(Seconds) = [60]> then
set [Seconds v] to [0]
change [Minutes v] by (1)
end
if <(Minutes) = [60]> then
set [Minutes v] to [0]
change [Hours v] by (1)
end
end

You can set the Variables to Normal or Large Readout
This stopwatch will start from zero when flag is clicked and stop when the Stop button is clicked. You can put this script anywhere.

If you want to put a start button, you have to put the above script in the Start Button sprite and substitute

 when green flag clicked 

with

 when this sprite clicked 

.

For a reset button,

when this sprite clicked
set [ Milliseconds v] to [0]
set [ Seconds v] to [0]
set [Minutes v] to [0]
set [ Hours v] to [0]

If you want to include a reset button, do not include

set [ Milliseconds v] to [0]
set [ Seconds v] to [0]
set [Minutes v] to [0]
set [ Hours v] to [0]

in the first script.

For a stop button,

when this sprite clicked
stop [All v]
 

The built in timer is a better option and doesn't vary because loops are running slow etc.

You see if this helps some way https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/396834081/

Since there is a waiting block your solution would not work.

The project above calculates the difference between a start point set to days since 2000 and, since 2000 when stops.

The project below is a timer(block) based. I have not fully tested but it should work, perhaps.

https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/396980582/ I did a little mistake in this(not taking into account msecs.), it is now fixed.

There is a “timer” varible in the sensing blocks if you click it then it will start the timer.

As many others' said, there's no reason to make your project harder than you need it to be! ^^ Feel free to use the timer block to make your projects easier!

set [seconds  v] to [][scratchblocks]
change [seconds v] by (1)
when green flag clicked
forever

end
[/scratchblocks]

I think these are the blocks you use
