Is the display fast enough to include seconds?

It could, currently for animation i use 5 second interval, because its much more nice to look at because liquid slowly transforms. I will include new videos an GIF to show this.

However seconds would be doable but it would result in animation being constant since it needs about a second to transform, so i finally decided to go with HH:MM

Here is another video of this little thingy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoOMQ8TaTyE

you can see that the liquid is quite different, it was long time ago, but it basically acts the same but looks more blobby
