"Perfect customisation and classy appearance"
Version: Sharp World Clock 5.74
Pros
-You can really customise anything you like to get clocks to appear exactly as you wish. Borders, size, colours, patterns, fonts, flag sizes etc are all adjustable.
- I like the time zone calculator to see when a good time to have conference calls in multiple time zones is.
- In the past I used Windows Gadget clocks but they took up a lot of desktop real estate and when I used a projector or monitor with a different resolution it moved the clocks around. With Sharp world clock I have a compact solution and I can 'dock' them all as one gadget, so it's easy to move around etc.Cons
- I bought this product as it does just what I want, but $39 for a clock just felt excessive.
- Programming error means clocks temporarily disappear when I click show desktop in Windows 7 (which is different to the windows desktop gadgets).Summary
- If you work with multiple locations and time zones, this is a perfect tidy way to manage your clocks, but the price galls me!

"A GREAT desktop product for HAM RADIO operators!"
Version: Sharp World Clock 5.46
Pros
Easy and fun to set-up. Great for the computer desktop for every amateur radio station. I have mine set up with clocks for major cities around the world and positioned stategically on a world map. I can always see the exact time of day (or night) of any radio station that I contact anywhere on earth! Great for the logbook. There are plenty of great features included in this program. Works flawlessly.
Cons
None the I have found.
Summary
Highly recommended for the serious Ham Radio DX'er!!!

"Simply the BEST!"
Version: Sharp World Clock 5.42
Pros
I work as an international support person and love this very practical tool. Initially I installed and tested several different software solutions, but decided for SHARP WORLD CLOCK:
It is fully customizable
It has many different features
I like the visual design
The hot keys are practical.
It works perfectly
WOW: I suggested an additional feature I needed... and this was implemented by the software programer in a very short time. Thank you, Johannes!Cons
Absolutely None!
Summary
Go for it! You will not regret it!
This IS the BEST on the market! -

Can't think of a single one.
Summary
I am always trying out new software and I NEVER write reviews, except... well, when something really get's me mad... but I have to write about this one, because I searched for months (really) to find something this good!
This is the BEST clock I've found for Win 7. It's the most customizable in looks and sounds & has a great, intuitive interface. I LOVE this new version but I am sticking with the earlier release (for now) because I'm so attached to some of the previous versions features! I'm torn between the two versions and have switched installations a few times already, because each version is so dramatically different (check out Johannes' site for the previous version and a bunch of other great stuff). But it's the ONE program I have installed (besides RocketDock) in the past couple of years that I just never get unhappy with (and for me, that really says a lot, I'm not very forgiving)!
[Start of rather lengthy back-story on this] I had promised Mr. Wallroth that I would write a review for his first release of this program (well over a year ago) and am finally doing it, but instead, it's for this version, though I'd like to keep true to my word and cover a bit of the first version. I had to reinstall WinVista (ugh!) a ways back and lost my registration number for the first version with the rest of my data. I sent a note to Johannes via his website to ask if he could help, because I couldn't remember what email address I used for the registration (which I needed to recover the number). I gave him a list of some possibilities and I was elated to have very quickly received a reply with the number! I had mentioned how much I liked his software and gave him a little story about my rather rigorous searches and he asked if I would put that in a review.
I can't believe I can like a program so much. I actually have sentiment toward it. You see, I installed a LOT of junk before, as well as after Sharp World Clock, that not only was ugly, but just didn't work very well. I just wanted a good, working alarm clock for my laptop when my real clock died. I didn't really even need it, but I liked having it there (for occasions I didn't have my 'pocket-watch-that-doubles-as-a-cellphone handy). But I thought, why not put one on my laptop and keep from having to put more stuff in my minimalist (and somewhat small) bedroom.
Finally, I found this gem! I waded through a lot of freeware, but I had ZERO PROBLEMOS with the inexpensive price for this! If 'Windows' ever advances (for real) and this program doesn't work on the next version, ...I'm not gonna upgrade Windows until a version that works comes out!
Cheers!

"The Only One"
Version: Sharp World Clock 5.0
Pros
I can not imagine a feature you would want in a clock app that is not included in Sharp World Clock.
Cons
It makes other clock programs look dumb.
Summary
I have reviewed this app before and version 5 has outdone itself. I like to trade on world markets like forex and I use this program to remind me when markets are opening or close. That is super easy with alarms and office hours. I can only think of about 100 other reasons to use it. If you need an app for even one other time zone I wouldn't bother with the others, I did and this is the one I was looking for. It is fun to configure and is really sharp.
