package cubebuddy;
import java.util.Timer;
import java.util.TimerTask;
public class One_timer extends javax.swing.JFrame {
Timer timer= new Timer();
String ms, s, m;
public One_timer() {
initComponents();
}
TimerTask myTimerTask = new TimerTask() {
@Override
public void run() {
ms = Timer_display_ms.getText();
s = Timer_display_s.getText();
m = Timer_display_m.getText();
Long MS_timer = Long.valueOf(ms);
Long S_timer = Long.valueOf(s);
Long M_timer = Long.valueOf(m);
if (ms.equals(Long.toString(99))) {
s = Long.toString(++S_timer);
Timer_display_s.setText(s);
}
if ("99".equals(Timer_display_ms.getText())) {
Timer_display_ms.setText("0");
} else {
ms = Long.toString(++MS_timer);
Timer_display_ms.setText(ms);
}
if (s.equals(Long.toString(60))) {
m = Long.toString(++M_timer);
Timer_display_m.setText(m);
Timer_display_s.setText("0");
}
}
};

Not the most elegant solution but you could covert your timer task to a nested class and create a new timer and task each time you start the watch. I think ScheduledExecutorService is general easier to use than the Timers so you might take a look at it.
