Regrettably I believe there is no way to fix it, you can work around it at a small price. Zugg desinged button captions, status bars, and status windows to update when a variable changes. Guages are a special type of button caption and hence only update when a variable is changed. An example of this is #ST {%time("ss")}. That should change every second but doesn't.

Anyhow the work around I mentioned #ALARM {*1} {#ADD SecondUpdater 1}. It just conviently changes a variable every second, the processing overhead is pretty negligible.
