Or?

Duration is the time period from start timestamp to the end timestamp and 
can be measured in the time unit you want.

In some projects minutes can be crucial but in others months or - years 
even - are usable units for duration.

Personal I would have the duration saved in seconds so I can choose the 
time unit I want when I will see the duration.

The most enjoyable greetings
