I wonder why logs express the event timestamp as “…x hours/days ago” rather than a full and much more clear date/time information. I suspect only few use case will find useful to know that something happened “3 days ago” rather than the exact time.  
Can I suggest this (surely easy) change to be included in the next version?

Just tap on the entry in the timeline or device history, then the exact date and time will be displayed.
