Check the clock widget on the Home screen

Back on the Home screen, the clock widget sits at the top — a black pill showing 03:15, with the date above it. That is the confirmation.

Good to know

  1. The widget placed here is the Stopwatch 2 × 2 widget from the Clock app — it shows the time, the date, and the next alarm (Mon 09:30 here), not just the time.
  2. The search for Clock was typed with Gboard handwriting input (the red handwriting keyboard at the bottom of the Widgets sheet) — typing on the regular keyboard works the same way.
  3. Two styles are offered after you tap Add: Solid and Transparent. The recording picks Transparent (the black pill); Solid is the lighter one.
  4. After you pick a style, the widget lands on the Home screen in edit mode (resize handles visible) — tap an empty area of the Home screen to drop it into place. While it is being placed it reads “Tap to finish setup”.
  5. Other Clock widgets in the same list — Analog, Digital, Stacked, Timers, World — are picked the same way: tap the preview, tap Add, choose a style.
