Clock Tile

Clock Tile is a simple clock tool that be pinned to your Start Screen or Menu as a live tile to show the current time and date. This way, you can keep track of time easier on your Windows 8, 8.1 or 10 computer, including touch-supported devices.

The application is trusted by Microsoft as far as security is concerned, which means that you can easily download and install it from the Store. Worth noting is that it synchronizes to your local time, not to an online server, so it doesn't need Internet access to show accurate time.

Packed in a Modern UI, Clock Tile doesn't come with any options or customization preferences, aside from the fact that you can take a screenshot of the app and send it to an external Modern UI program to save the picture or share it with your friends, thanks to the fact that it gets integrated with the Windows share charm.

You can view the current hour, minute and second, along with the day and date. However, it would've been useful if it implemented some customization options. For example, it's not possible to set a different background color, font style or color.

Moreover, there are no features available for choosing the preferred time format between 12- and 24-hour clock mode. Those looking for a way to view multiple timezones at the same time must resort to a different kind of software.

We haven't experienced any compatibility issues on Windows 10 in our tests. We managed to pin Clock Tile to the Start Menu without any problems. It's an elegant solution for all users interested in transforming a simple clock into a live tile. On the other hand, it doesn't leave room for customization for power users looking for versatility.
