What Clocks are you using?

[akazabam]

Why does anyone use a clock widget, when the time is in the taskbar?

1) It can be easier to read.
2) It's a quick way to get to the alarm (sometimes).
3) Some people with root remove the clock from the taskbar.
4) Space filler.
5) Five just seemed like a better number to count to.

My OCD tells me that task bars are fugly, and since Launcher pro gives me the option to hide it without rooting, that's what I use. I must admit though, I'm getting really tired of the gTab simi look, and I don't like the text clocks at all. I'm stumped as to what else to try now. The only reason I keep the simi clock is because I link apps to it, which is cool.

Animated Analog Clock Widget. There are several style packs, I like the one in the screenshot. The second hand works great, I have never seen it lag on my Evo. I want to make a Widget of my everyday watch(pictured below), but I haven't been that ambitious yet.

I tried that for a while once. Every time I switched to landscape and back from the homescreen, Launcherpro would force close. Otherwise, it's a pretty cool widget. Lots of skinning options.

I don't let LP auto-rotate so that's not something I would not have encountered. I just tried it and it worked fine, no FC.

Just found something called "Flip Clock Blackout" It's skinable, has the weather for your local area and the color is customizable. You can also launch any app from it.

I'm diggin' it right now.

KDECarbon Clock Widget.

I like it because of the "clear" face and goes well with the background imho.
