Google widely rolling out support for Live Updates for stopwatch and timer
As Google rollouts go, this one was quite fast.
Google is expanding its support for Live Updates in the Google Clock app, which now includes stopwatches and timers. This update, found in Google Clock v9.0, will display a running timer or stopwatch as a Live Update in the status bar and lock screen. The server-side update is currently being rolled out widely, though it may take some time for all users to see the changes.
Previously, users only had options like an icon in the status bar, a simple notification with controls, or the running timer/stopwatch in the At a Glance widget.
