Can the Versa 2 Show Seconds or a Second Hand?

[Minnesnowta]

I am a Firefighter/EMT and am looking to upgrade my from my Charge 3 to something that can show seconds or a second hand.

Hi @Minnesnowta, good to see you in the community.

Yes depending on which clock face you choose, some show seconds and a second hand. My current clock face "stats" shows seconds as a digital number. You can set the screen timeout to a maximum of 60secs if you require it to be on that long. Please note though that the always on display clock faces (which are low power consuming faces) that you can set to have on permanently don't show seconds.

I appreciate the information, N8te. Since the Versa 2 has Alexa, can I just
ask Alexa to start a 30 or 60 second timer?

Thanks,
Brian

@Minnesnowta You certainly can, I use Alexa for this purpose all the time (just checked to see if 30 secs is possible and it is ☺). You can also use Alexa to set Alarms, reminders and add stuff to your shopping list.

I would recommend checking the following help article (here) just to confirm that you live in a supported country (you can find the list of countries towards the bottom of the page).

I was so excited for the always on feature because I am in the medical field and frequently need to use a second hand. Not having seconds for always on is a huge disappointment and making me reconsider replacing my charge 3 with this instead of a garmin. The screen staying on 60s also doesn't help because need to see the full 60 seconds pass on clock.

Does that apply to the Versa 3 too? 🙂

@AlliB84-  Did you find a solution, perhaps look at SimpleClockPro from the gallery which shows seconds [Digital or Analog] and has an always on [as and when you need it] directly on the clock face - it may meet your need.
