I think that's an intentional choice to show you how long past the timer you are if you haven't cleared the timer. It could be useful in some situations especially if you didn't notice the timer and need to know how ruined your food is going to be.
Yes - this is also with the phone right next to me the whole time, so it's not a case of me missing something. I assume it's possible for the phone to go into some kind of sleep mode whereby timers are checked much less frequently. Seems a bit daft to allow this if there's an active countdown timer that could expire before the next check...
Ah my mistake I thought you were talking about the negative time that shows up AFTER the timer has gone off but hasn't been acknowledged. I always use timers on my Moto 360 because it's much more pleasant than the default chirping to hear.

t03m means that the alarm didn't start going off until the timer was 2 minutes overdue.

It's really a shame that our two major mobile platforms are a choice between insanely shoddy software and insanely victorian censorship.
