On most clocks, if the "real time" is 0.1 seconds (1 tenth of a second), then the clock will display 0:00, not 0:01

In addition, if the clock shows 0:01 (as in the OP), the "real time" is between 0:01.0 and 0:01.9 These tenths of seconds are often shown on the console. It can be good practice to ask in a situation like the OP.
