Why Remove Seconds from Your Clock Widget?

Some users prefer a minimal clock display without seconds for a cleaner home screen. Others believe it might help save a small amount of battery life. Whatever your reason, the process is simple.

Steps to Remove Seconds from Clock Widget

Here’s how to switch to a basic clock widget without seconds:

1. Long-press your current clock widget on the home screen
2. Tap “Remove” to delete the existing widget
3. Now long-press on any empty area of your home screen
4. Select “Widgets” from the menu that appears
5. Scroll to find the “Clock” widget section
6. Choose the basic digital clock widget (the one without seconds)
7. Select your preferred size and tap “Add”
8. Drag the widget to your desired position

Alternative Clock Widget Options

Samsung offers several clock styles in One UI 7:

• Basic digital clock (hours and minutes only)
• Detailed digital clock (includes seconds)
• Analog clock (classic clock face)
• World clock (shows multiple time zones)

Additional Customization Tips

• You can long-press any clock widget after placing it to resize or adjust its settings
• The widget appearance automatically matches your dark/light mode theme
• This change only affects your home screen – lock screen and status bar clocks remain unchanged

Troubleshooting

If you don’t see the basic clock widget option:

1. Try restarting your phone
2. Check for software updates in Settings > Software update
3. Make sure you’re using the default Samsung launcher

That’s all there is to it! Now you have a cleaner clock widget without seconds. If you have any questions about One UI 7 customization, feel free to ask in the comments.
