I just want to confirm what I have, I saw on stackoverflow that I can get do the following: 

var current_time = +new Date();
console.log (current_time);
var fetch_time = +new Date();
console.log((fetch_time-current_time));

and I now I just want to know what this difference is in. milliseconds? 

Log Output
1375976707028
76

I just simply want the fastest way to check if 60 seconds have passed or not. I'd rather avoid any kind of operations like multiplication or division.

Thanks

The + looks a little weird there, I'd just use .getTime().

.getTime() returns milliseconds, so compare with 60000.

try it:

var current_time = +new Date();
var fetch_time;
console.log (current_time);

setTimeout(function() {
    fetch_time = +new Date();
    console.log((fetch_time-current_time)); // 1000 -> ms, 1 -> s
}, 1000);

Thanks! I think I will go with the .getTime and the 6000 check.
