我不喜欢在JavaScript中为标准数据类型添加属性，所以我建议这样做:

/**
 * Format a duration in seconds to a human readable format using the notion
 * "h+:mm:ss", e.g. "4:40:78". Negative durations are preceeded by "-".
 *
 * @param t Duration in seconds
 * @return The formatted duration string
 */
var readableDuration = (function() {

    // Each unit is an object with a suffix s and divisor d
    var units = [
        {s: '', d: 1}, // Seconds
        {s: ':', d: 60}, // Minutes
        {s: ':', d: 60}, // Hours
    ];

    // Closure function
    return function(t) {
        t = parseInt(t); // In order to use modulus
        var trunc, n = Math.abs(t), i, out = []; // out: list of strings to concat
        for (i = 0; i < units.length; i++) {
            n = Math.floor(n / units[i].d); // Total number of this unit
            // Truncate e.g. 26h to 2h using modulus with next unit divisor
            if (i+1 < units.length) // Tweak substr with two digits
                trunc = ('00'+ n % units[i+1].d).substr(-2, 2); // …if not final unit
            else
                trunc = n;
            out.unshift(''+ trunc + units[i].s); // Output
        }
        (t < 0) ? out.unshift('-') : null; // Handle negative durations
        return out.join('');
    };
})();

用法:

var str = readableDuration(3808); // "1:03:28"

我还创建了一个更通用的版本。主要的区别是它接受毫秒(这是JS中的标准时间单位)，而输出格式使用空格。

主题的变奏。处理个位数秒的方式有点不同

seconds2time(0)  ->  "0s" 
seconds2time(59) -> "59s" 
seconds2time(60) -> "1:00" 
seconds2time(1000) -> "16:40" 
seconds2time(4000) -> "1:06:40"

function seconds2time (seconds) {
    var hours   = Math.floor(seconds / 3600);
    var minutes = Math.floor((seconds - (hours * 3600)) / 60);
    var seconds = seconds - (hours * 3600) - (minutes * 60);
    var time = "";

    if (hours != 0) {
      time = hours+":";
    }
    if (minutes != 0 || time !== "") {
      minutes = (minutes < 10 && time !== "") ? "0"+minutes : String(minutes);
      time += minutes+":";
    }
    if (time === "") {
      time = seconds+"s";
    }
    else {
      time += (seconds < 10) ? "0"+seconds : String(seconds);
    }
    return time;
}

s2t=function (t){
  return parseInt(t/86400)+'d '+(new Date(t%86400*1000)).toUTCString().replace(/.*(\d{2}):(\d{2}):(\d{2}).*/, "$1h $2m $3s");
}

s2t(123456);

结果:

1d 10h 17m 36s

function toHHMMSS(seconds) {
    var h, m, s, result='';
    // HOURs
    h = Math.floor(seconds/3600);
    seconds -= h*3600;
    if(h){
        result = h<10 ? '0'+h+':' : h+':';
    }
    // MINUTEs
    m = Math.floor(seconds/60);
    seconds -= m*60;
    result += m<10 ? '0'+m+':' : m+':';
    // SECONDs
    s=seconds%60;
    result += s<10 ? '0'+s : s;
    return result;
}

例子

    toHHMMSS(111); 
    "01:51"

    toHHMMSS(4444);
    "01:14:04"

    toHHMMSS(33);
    "00:33"

这是另一个版本，也处理天数:

function FormatSecondsAsDurationString( seconds )
{
    var s = "";

    var days = Math.floor( ( seconds / 3600 ) / 24 );
    if ( days >= 1 )
    {
        s += days.toString() + " day" + ( ( days == 1 ) ? "" : "s" ) + " + ";
        seconds -= days * 24 * 3600;
    }

    var hours = Math.floor( seconds / 3600 );
    s += GetPaddedIntString( hours.toString(), 2 ) + ":";
    seconds -= hours * 3600;

    var minutes = Math.floor( seconds / 60 );
    s += GetPaddedIntString( minutes.toString(), 2 ) + ":";
    seconds -= minutes * 60;

    s += GetPaddedIntString( Math.floor( seconds ).toString(), 2 );

    return s;
}

function GetPaddedIntString( n, numDigits )
{
    var nPadded = n;
    for ( ; nPadded.length < numDigits ; )
    {
        nPadded = "0" + nPadded;
    }

    return nPadded;
}

function formatTime(seconds) {
    return [
        parseInt(seconds / 60 / 60),
        parseInt(seconds / 60 % 60),
        parseInt(seconds % 60)
    ]
        .join(":")
        .replace(/\b(\d)\b/g, "0$1")
}
