How is the world clock kept accurate?
The clock reads the current time from your device and applies the offset for each city using the IANA time zone database. Because your device clock syncs with NTP servers, the displayed times stay within a fraction of a second of the official time. If your computer clock drifts, the world clock will drift with it, so keep automatic time sync enabled.
Why are some cities showing tomorrow's date?
When it is mid-afternoon in New York, it is already the next morning in Tokyo and Sydney. The international date line and zone offsets mean that at any given moment, parts of the world are on different calendar dates. The world clock shows the correct local date for each city, which can include yesterday or tomorrow relative to your location.
Does the world clock show daylight saving time?
Yes. Each city follows its own DST rules. London springs forward on the last Sunday of March, while New York does so on the second Sunday. During the few weeks when one has shifted and the other has not, the gap between them is briefly four hours instead of the usual five. The clock handles this automatically.
Can I add cities that are not in the default list?
Yes. You can search for any city in the world and add it to your dashboard. Behind the scenes, each city is mapped to an IANA zone such as Asia/Kolkata or America/Argentina/Buenos_Aires. If a small town shares a zone with a larger city nearby, both will show the same time, which is correct because they share the same legal time.
Why does the world clock disagree with my watch by a few seconds?
Your watch may not be synchronized with an atomic time source. The world clock uses your computer's clock, which most operating systems sync to NTP servers automatically. If you see a noticeable gap, your watch is probably the one that drifted. Mechanical watches can drift several seconds per day, while phone clocks rarely drift more than a fraction of a second.
Does it work across the international date line?
Yes. Cities like Apia in Samoa and Pago Pago in American Samoa are physically close but on opposite sides of the date line, so they can be a full day apart. The clock shows the correct date for each. Samoa famously skipped December 30, 2011 to switch sides of the line, and the database reflects that historical jump.
