Best way to show the time on the start screen?

FuturDreamz · Feb 17, 2013

I've been using a clock tile (there are at least a dozen now), and most of them have been fairly unreliable, and don't show the date half the time. I'm currently using Ze Clock which is so far 100% reliable, but I'm not completely happy with how the time is formatted (see below)

What are you using to show the time in the Start Screen?

Thanks.

Asparion Clock

I use Asparion Clock. Works consistently, and is very configurable. There is a free version, and a $2.99 version which allows you to change the background and have multiple clock tiles with different time zones.

how good are those clocks? I thought the live titles don't update rapidly enough for a clock.

The ones I've tried, the time is correct when the tile is updated. but then between the updates, the time will fall behind until the next update.

I just got used to swiping to bring up the charms bar to check the time/date.

I've found Ze Clock to be pretty reliable. It seems to consistently update exactly when a second passes according to the computer. It does seem to pause in the background, but once you switch to the start screen a second later it updates to the correct time.
