I am a little confused. When our clock precision is 1 min why do we need to refresh clock every 30 secs !?

anyway, guys for making my reading experience something different from before
Suppose your update is scheduled every 1 minute, starting at 11:11:54.
Until 11:12:54 the clock would still show previous time, 11:11. That is, it would be wrong for 54 secs in this example. Maximum possible error is 59 secs.

Updating every 30 secs would improve the precision. 24 secs in previous example and 29 secs as worst.

Anyway, I don't think that level of precision is important, and thus I proposed the change to 1 min. Less battery consumption as well.
We even could change time rounding up to next minute if secs > 30.
