Further understanding Updated() vs FixedUpdate()

I am a complete newbie here a just finished the Ball Roller tutorial last night. I was looking into further understanding the "Update" functions when I came across this, Update() vs FixedUpdate(), FANTASTIC answer. So I wondered, if I were to implement a timer which would show the Seconds, which "Update" method would do it? I was surprised to find out every solution showed it was implemented in the Update() method.

I thought this was called based on FPS. Why would you not update a clock in FixedUpdate()?
