TL;DR Google is widely rolling out support for Live Updates in the Google Clock app. The app now shows a running timer/stopwatch as a Live Update in the status bar and lock screen. It’s a server-side update, so it could still take a while to reach everyone.
The Google Clock app started getting support for Live Updates for stopwatches and timers last week. At that time, the server-side update hadn’t started rolling out widely, but that’s changing now as Google is flipping the switch for a wider rollout. 0, users will see Live Updates when a stopwatch or a timer is running.
Previously, users would only see an icon in the status bar, a simple notification with controls for the stopwatch or timer, or the running timer/stopwatch in the At a Glance widget.
