I would change "must" to "can".

I don't exactly follow the interface flow here. And what do you mean with
"previously entered information"? Already running timers?
What happens with running timers anyway? Are they paused while another
timer is running? Is the last active timer resumed automatically once a
later timer has been stopped?

I'm not sure, do you consider this as a replacement for the stopwatch, or
next to it? Anyway, it sounds like a nice enhancement.
