Does Showing Seconds in the System Tray Actually Use More Power?

We're no strangers to poking around the weird settings of an OS, but we'll admit: we haven’t paid much attention this one because the setting is off by default and why would we want to decrease our battery life? That is, until a Reddit post pointed it out, and it would keep us at night if we did not at least try our best to find an answer. Admittedly, after a little testing, it is not a very conclusive answer but it is an interesting one nonetheless.
