CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
One can have only so much time. Desk Clock is a pesky application that, despite being freeware, doesn't do much than tick off minutes. The desktop clock has two faces, and either face can display the time in any time zone. This basic tool doesn't offer much in the way of creativity, as you can only display either a digital or a traditional clock face or change the background color. The display sits on top of open windows or hides in the system tray; when you want to check the time, double-click the icon. Only one alarm can be set at a time, too--but we couldn't get the alarm to play a sound. If you're running Windows, you have a clock on your desktop already. If you need two, you know where to go.Publisher's description
From Software Maniacs :With Desk Clock, choose from three styles: analog, digital, or text-based. The analog clock includes a seconds hand, and you can set a reminder that displays a message, plays a sound, or runs a program. Show a second clock for an alternate time zone in your choice of style. Many customizable options allow you to control the look and feel of your clock. Desk Clock also features a quick-reference calendar.

Version: Desk Clock 1.8
"Clock works great but doesn't adjust to different time zones."
Pros: Clock does everthing it says it will. Can't beat free. Plus, Has good preferences.
Cons: The one thing that ruined the whole program is that I couldn't adjust to my time zone; central. It only has one time zone in which isn't even shown.

Version: Desk Clock 1.8
"Does what it says; Does what I need."
Pros: I needed a very simple clock that shows the time in a second time zone. This clock does this simply and without a lot of gimmicks. Thanks! Great Free Util!
Cons: The UI is not terribly consistant with itself, but is easy enough to figure out. The one feature I would like is the ability to ONLY show the alternative time zone.

Version: Desk Clock 1.8
"there's better ones out there"
Summary: the clock is ugly, and can't be made transparent, or disappear on a mouse-over.

Version: Desk Clock 1.8
Pros: Does what it says, widely adjustable to suit your needs.
Cons: No complaints! Only a suggestion to the developers for the future - let us add multiple clock faces and time zones.
Summary: I downloaded and tried three other clocks from this website. ALL were disappointing in a variety of ways - including not being able to install. This clock is clean, effective, has no ads and is a gift - it delivers the value I needed at no charge.... read more >>
