But, thankfully, there are 3rd party Android clock widgets that provide you a whole barrage of customizations with extra subtle functionalities like event reminders, live timer, to-do list, group events, etc. Here are the 15 best clock widgets for Android in 2020.

15 Best Clock Widgets For Android in 2020

1. Digital Clock Widget

Highlight: Custom tap to open app action Digital Clock Widget is a Pixel-Esque clock widget. Additionally, it provides options to customize color, design, clock style, etc. My favorite option is the ability to customize the tap option. For instance, you can configure to open Spotify when you tap on the clock. It’s just a hidden way to quickly launch your favorite app. Download Digital Clock Widget

2. Another Widget

Highlight: Additional set of customizations and the Pixel style clock widget Similar to the Digital clock Widget, Another Widget is also a Pixel-Esque minimal clock widget. But, apart from the usual customizations, it has even more tricks up its sleeve. One of my favorite widgets on Android is “At a Glance” widget. It quickly lets you know your upcoming events on the homepage and lock screen. Another Widget takes “At a Glance” widget a step further and lets you put up currently playing songs, custom notes, step count on it. In case you have a Pixel or stock Android device, Another Widget is a must-have clock widget. Download Another Widget

3. Will Graham Clock Widget

Highlight: Hannibal fans This clock widget is inspired by NBC’s Hannibal character, Will Graham. It has 2 color tones – Black & White and a total of 4 watch faces. Download Will Graham Clock Widget

4. Chronus

Highlight: Lots of widget choices from Weather to Google News. Chronus Information Widgets is the most intensive clock widget on this list. It provides you a standard clock widget but along with that, there are a total of 18 widgets (13 free and 5 paid). These widgets concentrate on calendar events, weather forecasts, Google News, etc. The widgets mostly revolve around Google apps like Google Tasks, Google Calendar, etc with an option to customize them. Download Chronus Information Widgets

5. Transparent Clock

Highlight: Weather information with Android device stats Transparent Clock, as the name suggests, is transparent weather and clock widget. The amount of weather information is on par with Chronus. Additionally, it also provides device analytics like battery percentage, temperature, device storage, etc. A nice little feature is the timely weather alerts. Download Transparent clock & weather 

6. Overdrop

Highlight: Dedicated weather app with weather widgets Unlike Chronos and Transparent Clock, Overdrop is a dedicated weather app. It pulls up data from the popular local weather source Dark Sky. Apart from the weather information, there’s the weather forecast and weather radar as well. The widget option in Overdrop, however, is paid at $9/year. But, you do get 51 clock and weather widgets.

7. Onca Clock Widget

Highlight: Motorola and Nexus style clock widget Onca Clock Widget brings back the oval-shaped clock widget from Motorola and Nexus devices. The highlight of the app is that it lets you set multiple widgets on the home screen with different time zones. This comes really handy if you work for a client from a different time zone. Download Onca Clock Widget

8. Retro Clock Widget

Highlight: Flipping Calendar style clock Retro Clock Widget brings back the spiral calendar to your Android home screen. It provides 5 dark clock widgets with various orientations. Sadly, there’s no customization option or weather information. Download Retro Clock Widget

9. 8-bit Command Window

Highlight: 8-bit and maps to phone, twitter, google apps. The 8-bit command window is a good-old 8-bit clock widget app. Along with the clock widgets, it also provides you the option to display messages or quickly launch a few apps from the widget. More than 8-bit games, the widget reminds me of the DOS terminal. The only caveat with the app is the lack of resizing options for the widgets and since the last update was in 2014, you have to live with this caveat. Download 8-bit Command Window ($1.26)

10. Digital Clock Widget Xperia

Highlight: Xperia style clock widget and weather information from Yahoo.com My first Android device was the Xperia Miro and I loved it because of the vibrant home screen. Digital Clock Widget tries to bring the same vibrancy with the old-school Xperia clock widgets. One of my favorite features is the weather option. If you tap on the weather information, instead of taking you into an app, it opens a pop-up showing the weather forecast of the entire week. Download Digital Clock Widget Xperia

11. Round Clock

Highlight: Live clock Round clock is a nice live digital clock widget. It has a ticking second hand with the option to customize the font, background color, label, etc. Download Round Clock

Closing Words

I use Sectoragraph as it integrates well with Calendar events. Moreover, I can ask Google Assistant to add events in Google Calendar and it reflects back in the widget. Let me know which one is your favorite or if I missed out on some. Also Read: Best Alarm Clock Apps for Heavy Sleepers (Android | iOS)
