Read the dial, digital time, seconds and date from your phone.

Read local time

Open Clock. The analogue dial and digital time appear at the top with seconds and the date. Your saved world-clock cities appear below.

Local time comes from the phone. If it is wrong, check date, time and time zone in Android settings; the manual does not change device time.

  2. Choose 12 Hours or 24 Hours in Clock format.
  3. Return to Clock and check the result. In 12-hour mode, check AM or PM when creating alarms.
