What this world clock does
World Clock shows the current time in a set of cities and time zones, updating once a second. Each row includes the weekday, the date and the zone's current offset from UTC, so you can see at a glance who is in business hours and who is not.
Offsets come from the browser's time zone database, which applies daylight-saving rules and historical changes. A zone that recently changed its rules may be out of date until the browser is updated. The clock uses your device time as its reference, so a wrong system clock produces wrong results.
Why use it
- Check working hours before scheduling a call.
- Compare a client's local time with your own.
- Watch a deadline across several regions.
How to use it
- 1The tool starts with a few common zones and adds your local zone.
- 2Pick a city from the list to add it.
- 3Remove zones you do not need.
- 4Compare times and offsets in the list.
