What Clock Widgets Are You All Using?

I am an HTC Evo 4G owner and have, to this point, been very unimpressed by the multitude of clock/weather widgets on the market. Perhaps I'm just picky.

What I'm looking for: I am looking for a high quality clock widget without any weather options. I just don't want to have to globally turn off background updates, syncing....etc...etc just to make sure that if I chose not to use the weather feature, its still running in the background and using up resources.

The ability to customize color, font and configuration would be a huge plus as well as the availability of high quality skins. Now, I am not knocking the many creative skins out there for the multitude of clock widgets, but I'm not looking for any over the top skins. I like designs that have a sharp, clean, technical, futuristic feel to them. For instance, of all the Tron Legacy themed clocks out there, I have yet to find one that actually captures the look and feel of what a digital clock in the Tron world would look like.

I know, I know, I am picky. I'll be the first to admit. But given the thousands and thousands of clock widgets out there, I would have thought I would have found one that I just love. I am still searching.... I know about Beautiful Widgets and Fancy Widgets there have got to be other high quality clock widget available somewhere.

What Clock Widgets do you all use?
 
I am using Bits, you can really build your clock like you want, and include all other options you choose, or just the clock alone, with font color direction etc you like.
 
Make your own (from photo or design or wallpaper...), then design a Minimalistic Text clock over it. I just did this one in about 10 minutes:

Mostly minimalist text on the screen, shortcut to apps organizer (earth), Widgetsois GPS, Go Launcher dock with custom icons.
 
Clockr is cool and all but its not something I would look into putting on my home screen (maybe for the lockscreen it would be suitable).

For my main clock display I prefer something big and clean looking, and so I use Fancy Widget Pro, so that's what I'd reccomend. I like having the picture of the weather going with it but you can switch that off with FW.
 
Simiclock widget most of the time (along with simple calendar widget), but occasionally switch to minimalistic text when the mood takes me.
 
Digiclock Widget for me. The only thing I wish I could do is add more fonts somehow. I am using the "Orbitron" font set to fairly large with no background. It looks sliiick. :D
 
I am using Digital Clock Widget. Very small, very simple. Honestly the noly reason I picked it was because it looks very nice over my wallpaper.
