This, perhaps?:

--modify-window
When comparing two timestamps rsync treats the timestamps as
being equal if they are within the value of modify_window. This
is normally zero, but you may find it useful to set this to a
larger value in some situations. In particular, when transfer-
ring to Windows FAT filesystems which cannot represent times
with a 1 second resolution --modify-window=1 is useful.

(from rsync man page)
