Coordinating with family abroad, scheduling across three offices, or catching a livestream from Tokyo: 'what time is it there?' deserves an instant, trustworthy answer.
Updated August 12, 2026, after a fresh review, with updated visuals and links.
This world clock shows live, second-by-second local time for major cities, using your device's clock and real time zone rules (daylight saving included).
Using it for real coordination
It starts with a sensible preset (New York, LA, London, Madrid, Dubai); add any of the 30+ cities from the dropdown and the list grows live.
Every city's abbreviation (EST, CET, etc.) shows beside it: recognizing those codes in email invites is half the scheduling battle.
Daylight saving is handled by the time zone database itself: when London jumps to BST and New York follows weeks apart, the offsets update correctly without you doing anything.
Worth remembering
- Meeting etiquette: propose times in the recipient's zone first ('3pm your time, which is...') and confirm with this page open.
- The sneaky trap weeks: Europe and the US change clocks on different Sundays, so a fixed '3-hour difference' briefly becomes two or four. Trust the clock, not the habit.
Frequently asked
Does it handle daylight saving time?
Yes: it uses your device's time zone database (IANA zones), so DST transitions per city are applied automatically.
Can I add a city that is not listed?
Pick any listed city in the same zone (the list covers every UTC offset in practical use); the dropdown includes the major reference cities for each region.
