Summary: Although Watch is advertised as having 50 ms accuracy, it is close to impossible to efficiently read the exact time from it. The analog watchfaces have continuous second/minute hand movement, which of course fits the nature of time itself, but you have to really concentrate to tell the exact minute if the hand is somethere in between. And even worse, there is no way to display seconds at all on any digital watchface. There is not even a complication available that shows seconds. For me, as one who frequently needs quick exact time readings, this is a major frustration with Apple Watch. You would think that quickly reading the exact time should be a major design goal, at least as a customization option. Steps to Reproduce: Look at the watch Expected Results: Quickly be able to tell the exact time including seconds Actual Results: Analog: need too much time to discern minutes Digital: not being able to tell if it's 10:09:01 or 10:09:59
