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.

Better than the rest

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. I cannot ask for more. Nice work.
Clock and calendar. Fast and easy

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.
Summary
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.

An excellent little program. I had one small niggle which I commented on, and within a couple of hours I got a reply solving my problem - first class.
