Run exercise doesn't display exact time

Whenever I track a run with my Charge 6, the app doesn't display the exact time. For example, in the screenshot below, my run was 30 minutes and some seconds, but I'll never know because the app decides to round down. This also happens even when I log it manually. I've experience this with multiple durations. What the heck? This defeats the whole purpose of tracking my exercise.

This is done by current app design. So far, Fitbit hasn't confirmed it's a bug (so it may never be fixed or not soon, nobody knows) so let's say it's a very "unique" feature 🤷

Lots of folks aren't happy with this change, among many others in the 4.x versions of the app. Go vote for this feature suggestion, if you haven't yet: https://community.fitbit.com/t5/Product-Feedback/Allow-exercise-duration-to-display-minutes-and-seco...

Several of us have raised this issue to the Fitbit team. We're looking forward to having this issue resolved in a future app update.

I agree. An exercise tracker App without a seconds display is mostly useless as an exercise tracker App.

1. Minutes and seconds were displayed in the Fitbit app prior to the 4.0 app update (At least on iPhone).

2. Minutes and seconds are  still displayed on the device and in the web browser display. 

Statements 1 and 2 (and 20 yrs in the s/w development industry) indicates to me that the missing seconds display is  just a bug which can easily be fixed.🪲
