For this experiment to be of quantum nature the observation is compulsory and the photon has to hit the electron.
Now, say you want to observe the position at time 't'.
If you're talking about a Heisenberg Microscope - type experiment, do you really need to worry about the time of the position observation ? Isn't it the case that we're just concerned with the uncertainty in the position ?
