$interval is made for this:

    $interval(function() {
        // your stuff          
    }, 1000);

Don't forget to inject $interval in your controller

app.controller('ExampleController', ['$scope', '$interval',function($scope, $interval) {
      $interval(function() {
            // your stuff          
      , 1000); 
}]);

A better solution is to use Angular $interval and $destroy providers Example:

var stop=$interval(function () {
            function_call();
        }, 12000)

        $scope.stopInterval = function () {
            if (angular.isDefined(stop)) {
                $interval.cancel(stop);
                stop = undefined;
            }
        };

        $scope.$on('$destroy', function () {
            // Make sure that the interval is destroyed too
            $scope.stopInterval();
        });
