Help Clock Widget

[timetoroot]

I am looking for a digital clock widget as the analog in ICS takes up too much screen real estate. What is everyone using? If you wouldn't mind, along with the widget name/dev, could you share your thoughts on its performance (accuracy, battery drain, etc.).

Thank you!

I have two, both of which are excellent.

For free, you can get Sense Analog Clock from the Android Market. It looks just like the clock in an HTC device.

For a small price, get Beautiful Widgets. It has many options and sizes for you to reduce the screen real estate.

Any clock you choose is infinitely accurate and does not drain the battery.

I thought I had read some issues with battery drain from using Beautiful Widgets but your experience proves otherwise. I will give it a shot, thanks!

Beautiful widgets is good, I use SiMi clock and I like it a lot. Works really well and looks good.

I use Digital Clock Widget from Red Wizard, its simple, doesn't take too much space (2 spaces width, 1 space height), and its free.

I tried another one (can't remember the name) and the time didn't stay updated and it wasn't even free (I got my 15 minute refund though).

I use beautiful widgets with Roboto clock text and transparent background. Blends in very nicely.

Am I the only one that hates the thin grey outline around the text in the weather part of the Beautiful Widgets widget? It's not noticeable on dark backgrounds but very noticeable on lighter ones because it clashes with the white roboto font of the clock that has no such outline

I can't find Roboto in Beautiful Widgets. What's it called again?

I found it -- those beginning with "Suku" are skins based on the Roboto font.

Not sure what's up with your Beautiful Widgets, but they're called "Roboto" in mine. I don't see the word "Suku" anywhere.

Love Beautiful Widgets. My first Android Market purchase and well worth it.

another vote for Digital Clock widget: simple, free, and can be set so that when you tap the widget it goes to the stock ICS alarm clock settings.
