As an example, the following test converts three seconds to milliseconds:

@Test
public void secondsToMs() {
    var expected = 3 * 1000;
    var actual = TimeUnit.SECONDS.toMillis(3);
    assertEquals(expected, actual);
}

Now from milliseconds to minutes:

@Test
public void msToMinutes() {
    var expected = 3;
    var actual = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(180000);
    assertEquals(expected, actual);
}

With TimeUnit we can even wait for the next vacations:

@Test
public void sleepWithTimeUnitForThreeSeconds() throws InterruptedException {
    long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
    
    TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(3);
    //TimeUnit.DAYS.sleep(300); :-)

    var duration = System.currentTimeMillis() - start;
    assertTrue(duration >= 3000);
}
