"Display the time down to the second"

Depending on context, but "Display the time down to the second" (like on a clock or counter) is probably most fitting.
Note from asker:
Thank you very much. I wonder what is difference between "down to the second" and "down to seconds"?

Displays down to seconds

The 単位 is units. Here it can be understood to be units of time. E.g. seconds, minutes, hours etc.

This means that something has the capability of displaying "as detailed as" seconds. Here the まで emphasizes that this capability is superior for the type of item being described.

分 would be minute and 時 would be hour.
