About this tool
A live view of what time it is right now across the world. Each city shows its local time, date and difference from you, so you can tell at a glance whether someone is awake or in the office.
Times come from your device clock and the built-in time zone database, so daylight saving changes are applied automatically.
Frequently asked questions
How accurate is the world clock?
It is as accurate as your device clock, which is normally synchronized over the internet to within a fraction of a second.
Why does the difference change during the year?
Countries switch to daylight saving time on different dates, and some never do, so the gap between two cities can change by an hour for a few weeks each spring and fall.
