Tips for using the world clock
- City labels on the map and table rows change color between daytime (6:00–17:59) and night, so you can tell at a glance what time of day it is in another city.
- In "Set a time" mode, choose a base time zone and date to see the local time everywhere at that exact moment — great for scheduling international meetings and online events.
- Daylight saving time is applied automatically based on the IANA time zone database. The "UTC offset" column also updates according to the date you pick.
- The "Difference" column shows the offset from your device's time zone in current-time mode, or from the base time zone in set-a-time mode. Half-hour offsets such as India's (+5.5h) are handled correctly.

Side Note — How the World Agreed on Time
Until the mid-19th century, every town kept its own time, setting noon by the sun overhead. As railways spread, travelers had to reset their watches at station after station, and US railroads reportedly operated with more than 50 different company times at one point.
The turning point was the International Meridian Conference held in Washington in 1884. It defined the meridian through the Greenwich Observatory as longitude zero, laying the foundation for the 24 time zones we use today. Japan adopted Japan Standard Time (UTC+9), based on the 135°E meridian passing through Akashi, on January 1, 1888.
Today's Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is no longer based on astronomy: it's computed as a weighted average of roughly 400 atomic clocks around the world. Leap seconds, inserted to keep pace with tiny wobbles in Earth's rotation, have caused enough system outages that the world has agreed to abolish them by 2035.
