Set time, date and time zone

Use your phone’s date and time settings

Concentric Clock reads your device’s time and time zone. The app’s style editor changes how time looks; it does not set the Android system clock. Menu names differ between phone manufacturers.

1. Open Android Settings and search for Date & time.
2. Open the date and time settings. On many phones this is under System; on others it is under General management.
3. Enable the automatic date and time option if you want the phone to obtain the time from its supported network service.
4. Enable automatic time zone if available, or choose your region and time zone manually.

Set the clock manually

If your phone allows manual changes, turn off automatic date and time, then set the date and time. To choose a manual time zone, turn off automatic time-zone selection and choose the correct region. A managed phone may prevent these changes.

After travel or daylight-saving changes

Check the phone’s time zone first when a widget is an hour or several hours out. Automatic time-zone detection depends on the device and its settings; some devices use location. Reopen Concentric Clock and return to the home screen after correcting the device time. If the widget still shows the previous time, follow the clock update guide.

Change 12-hour or 24-hour display

Choose Time format in the face editor when the face supports that control. System default follows the phone’s format. A 12-hour or 24-hour display preference does not change the underlying time or time zone.
