(Get the code!)
I've tested both versions of the package, precise & quantal and it works as expected:

$ logger "watch runs command repeatedly, displaying its output and errors (the first screenfull). This allows you to watch the program output change over time. By default, the program is run every 2 seconds; use -n or --interval to specify a different interval. Normally, this interval is interpreted as the amout of time between the completion of one run of command and the beginning of the next run. However, with the -p or --precise option, you can make watch attempt to run command every interval seconds. Try it with ntptime and notice how the fractional seconds stays (nearly) the same, as opposed to normal mode where they continuously increase."

It doubles the capacity to hold number of characters in a line, the same behavior is for Quantal, I didn't provide the outputs for it, however they're the same (except for the versions involved), however if it's needed I'd be happy to add them.
I'm modifying the tag to verification-done
