A digital clock gives you the exact time in numbers, which is the fastest way to read it. These faces cover the history of digital displays — flat LCD, glowing red LED, the blue-green of a vacuum fluorescent display, a neon sign, a dot-matrix board, a split-flap flip clock and warm nixie tubes.
Turn on 12-hour time for an AM or PM flag, turn off seconds for a larger hours-and-minutes display, or change the colour of the glow. For a calmer face at night, use a dim amber or red and turn off the seconds.

Questions
Can I make the digits bigger?
Press F for full screen; the clock fills the display. Turning off seconds makes the remaining digits larger still.
How do I switch between 12-hour and 24-hour time?
Tick or untick 12-hour under the clock.
Does the digital clock work as a timer?
Yes. Use the Stopwatch and Countdown tabs on any face's own page, or open the stopwatch and pick a face.
