It depends on the circumstances. Time needs to be measured in different units depending on how it's applied. For example:-

Computer processing speed is measured in milliseconds

Ordinary time is measured in seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months and years.

Large periods of time are measured in centuries and millennia.
