So the title sums it up nice to meet everyone my Versa 4 is on correct time format but the seconds are off by a second or it's either off by a lot in regards of the seconds the minutes and hours are fine but to be a true watch the seconds MUST match my Smartphone clock this is not the case. Someone from higher up tried stepping end still nothing worked to resolve it. Okay before you say it I set it all to automatic in App Settings I really don't want to give up this Smartwatch I know Smartwatches are SUPPOSED to make your life easier in doing a lot of things and is an extension to your Smartphone. I know it's not the clock face I tried experimenting with Fitbit verified clock faces the seconds were STILL refuse to be in direct time as my Smartphone clock.
At this point in time I am using a digital watch also thumbs up on the AMOLED FHD screen I will praise Google for that I love how it looks very futuristic I refuse to give it up but at this time I am about to turn it into a sleeping monitor because I need one and I've been getting positive results from my sleeping. Everything else is NEAR ACCURATE the only thing I am worried about is the seconds REFUSE to cooperate again everything is set to Automatic in the App Settings is there something I'm missing here has anyone had a similar issue?

Hi @Alchemist4Life - seconds are unlikely to be 100% accurate.
When you sync it sets the time but not always and it may take several goes before it does.
In the meantime the watch can wander, some are better than others.
You can try restarting the watch as this sometimes helps to get it to sync time fully or in the app, App settings, and toggle automatic time zone off/on, or with it off set the time zone to another zone and sync and then back again and sync, then turn on automatic time zone again.
A good watch will be accurate to about 10 seconds per month, a faulty one can wander by minutes per day (when left unsynced).
For this reason many clock faces and phones too don't show seconds.
Note: the GPS which is accurate to seconds at many decimal places isn't used for keeping time accurate or setting time.
The thing to look out for is consistentency, even if it is off by a few seconds.

How do I double check if the GPS is accurate then I really refuse to give up the fitbit wearing it at home would be fine but at work I am thinking of wearing a regular watch if the seconds can't keep up. It looks also even like the clock faces aren't optimized to work with Versa 4 more watch themes showing seconds would be nice to resemble a traditional watch. Versa 3 got me into Smartwatches which was more accurate but Versa 4 is being really stubborn awesome quality build but I am picky about my seconds because to me for it to be a watch every second counts I feel as if they're quite gimmicky but the sleep algorithm does actually work which is why I am liking it more over my Garmin Venu SQ.
