The seconds option is deactivated by default, but you can activate the setting yourself with a little trick:
- Click the time on the Mac OS menu bar and select Date & Time from the drop-down menu.
- Go to the "Time" tab. Here you can display the seconds, among other useful functions. Simply tick the "Show time with seconds" checkbox.
- The time should immediately expand by two digits and display the current time exactly to the second. You can deactivate the option at any time via the menu.
