The problem is that in deep sleep the processor is shut off and so are the interrupts. The only reliable time source during deep sleep is the RTC with a resolution of a second. I'd say: forget saving battery and just disable the shutdown while the stopwatch is active. The battery consumption shouldn't be excessive anyway because the stopwatch doesn't need a lot of processing power.
