Solar intensity mini widget updates at minute change and create bugs on watch face

Hi,

Using solar instinct SW 16.00 

I recently used the solar intensity sensor mini widget in the round shaped location in the watch face.

I know that this mini widget takes usually 3-5seconds to update in the main solar widget, but I noticed that once used in the watch face it only refresh the solar intensity at each minute change of the clock.

While testing this and recording on video I actually also noticed that when minute changed while watch in sunlight, the intensity appeared but other display issues happened: 

- Minute didn't increase it went from 29 -> 29 -> 31

- intensity level indicator were cut on the side

Is the minute refresh a bug, or is it a feature to save battery life? 

See this case in picture below with 2 consecutive switches from dark->sunlight and sunlight->dark

I want to add that the mini widget refresh on minute is 100% reproducible so far , display bugs are random.

Is the minute refresh a bug, or is it a feature to save battery life?

    I observed the minutes issue several times but have been fast enough to video record it only yesterday.

    Same issue on the Instinct 2 Solar: the intensity widget graph gets wiped out on the minute (when the seconds roll over from :59 to :00). Paging to a different widget brings it back, but it gets wiped again when the minute changes.
