I guess that having lived with a watch on my wrist since childhood, and having to make the great effort of actually rotating my wrist when I need to know the time, I find it less than objectionable to have to actually bring up the menu by touching the center of the screen to see what time it is...
I think Kobo implemented the clock in the best way they could without wasting unnecessary power to refresh the display once a minute -likely for no need whatever. You don't need to see the time change every minute, in fact most people do not literally "watch the clock", so why waste power refreshing the screen? Instead they implemented the time display on "an interrupt" or event basis, just as one would look at a watch only when one wanted to know the time. From an engineering and usability stance it makes sense. The science of engineering is much concerned with the art of compromise.
