Differentiate between a mechanical stopwatch and a digital stopwatch.

A mechanical stopwatch uses mechanical gears and springs to measure time, requiring manual resetting. A digital stopwatch, on the other hand, uses electronic components like microchips to provide more accurate and easily readable time measurements, often with features like memory and precise start/stop functionality.
