Seven-segment displays draw each digit with seven bars; light the right ones and you get 0 to 9. Early LED clocks and alarm clocks used red segments because red LEDs were the first to be made cheaply. The faint ghost of the unlit segments here is part of the look.
In clock mode the colon blinks once a second. As a stopwatch it counts hours, minutes, seconds and, if you ask for them, tenths or hundredths. As a countdown it counts down to zero and then into overtime. Change the accent colour for amber, green or any other glow.
Where it's useful
- A big, high-contrast clock for a bedroom, workshop or studio
- A full-screen clock on a spare monitor
- A bright countdown for an event or class
- A readable stopwatch from across the room
Three ways to use it
- Clock — the time of day in your time zone or any city, in 12- or 24-hour form.
- Stopwatch — counts up with laps; press Lap while it runs.
- Countdown — counts down from any time you set, sounds at zero, then counts overtime.

Questions
Can I change the colour?
Yes. Pick an accent colour and the digits glow in it — amber and green are popular.
Does it show seconds?
By default, yes. Turn Seconds off for a larger hours-and-minutes clock.
Can it show 12-hour time?
Yes. Turn on 12-hour and an AM or PM indicator appears.
