Not sure when this path changed, but as of Ubuntu 13.04 the seconds display can be set in the terminal with:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface clock-show-seconds true
To turn seconds display off:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface clock-show-seconds false
and checked with:
gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface clock-show-seconds

At first it did not work on my Debian 9. It gave:(process:23119): dconf-WARNING **: failed to commit changes to dconf: Cannot autolaunch D-Bus without X11 $DISPLAY. I checked the value of$DISPLAYand it was blank! So I started a new terminal,$DISPLAYwas:0and this time it worked.

Yes, run this command in a Terminal:
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.clock show-seconds true
And you can verify with:
gsettings get org.gnome.shell.clock show-seconds
Or you can install dconf-tools and use
dconf-editor to browse to org.gnome.shell.clock

For MATE Desktop (the continuation and fork of GNOME 2 with GTK+ 3 support), you can achieve this using the graphical user interface (GUI)!
- Right-click on date and time:
- Go to
Preferences
- Now enable the
Show seconds
The end result:
