centiseconds
Stopwatch's smallest divisions
Centiseconds are hundredths of a second.
The unit appears in precision timing contexts—sports, scientific measurement, audio/video editing—where milliseconds would be too granular and seconds too coarse.
The runner's time was 12.47 seconds, or 1247 centiseconds.
