The stopwatch may move faster than the light clock. Both are programmed to move at the same time. However, they differ on some factors. For the light clock, the movements of the hands may be rusted. This can hinder the movement which may delay the time. The stopwatch, on the other hand, shows time digitally. So there is no outside factor contributing to its possible time delay.
