    Your device's time

    The clock shows the time your device keeps. Phones and computers usually set it from the network, so it is normally right to within a second; if it looks off, check your device's automatic time setting.

    12-hour and 24-hour time

    From 1 PM add 12 to get 24-hour time (3:20 PM is 15:20); 12 AM is 00:00 and 12 PM is 12:00.

    Limitations

    • A 12-hour dial: the hands can't tell AM from PM, so the widget has an AM/PM switch.
    • Times in words follow common British and US usage ("quarter past", "ten to").
