My boss was timing my “break” using his watch

I work in a Cash and Carry company, and my shift is usually 6 am to 12:30 pm from Monday trough Saturday. Today, around 8 o’clock I already did a good chunk of the work for the day, and so feeling a little hungry, I told my boss that i need just 5 minutes of break to eat something, he said sure.

Near the entrance i see my boss, taking a coffee himself, and with is watch with THE FUCKING CHRONOMETER ON, tells me that I lost almost 15 minutes (but his watch was at 8 minutes and something).
I was pretty upset about it that i almost had a panic attack, because I’m by far the most efficient member of my department, and I’m always the one who takes shit, even for others mistakes. I went to HR and told them that by the end of the summer I want to be relocated.

TL;DR: After 2 hours of manual work i went to eat something and my boss timed the time i was away , claiming i was away for 15 minutes even though his watch showed 8 minutes. I went to HR to be relocated.
