I can display the time on the minimap I use but it's so small. Is there a digital clock display addon we can use?

    What do you mean by real life ... I have an addon called stars for console that has a nice feature for showing time in game , though it may not be what you want.

    I mean Earth time... in my time zone... not Tamriel time.

    I actually want an addon that will show me the time in Tamriel similar to an addon in another MMO I play that shows me the current time of day (Morning, Noon, Afternoon, Dusk, Dawn, etc.) and how much time (usually in minutes) until the next transition. Does such an addon exist?

    BTW, I use the LUI infobar for real world time as I can control the font and font size.

    yes there is its is either NQOL or GamePadHelper both have some memory leaks and warning for accessing private function that havent been dealt with but honestly if you wanted one its probably one of the easiest codes you could do

    local MyClock = {}
    MyClock.name = "MyClock"
    MyClock.updateInterval = 1 -- seconds
    
    -- Convert real time to Tamriel time
    local function GetTamrielTime()
        local realSeconds = GetTimeStamp()
        local tamrielSeconds = realSeconds * 20
    
        local secondsInDay = 24 * 60 * 60
        local tamrielDaySeconds = tamrielSeconds % secondsInDay
    
        local hours = math.floor(tamrielDaySeconds / 3600)
        local minutes = math.floor((tamrielDaySeconds % 3600) / 60)
        local seconds = tamrielDaySeconds % 60
    
        return string.format("%02d:%02d:%02d", hours, minutes, seconds)
    end
    
    -- Get local real-world time (system clock)
    local function GetLocalTime()
        return os.date("%H:%M:%S")
    end
    
    -- UI setup
    local function CreateClockUI()
        MyClock.label = WINDOW_MANAGER:CreateControl("MyClockLabel", GuiRoot, CT_LABEL)
        local label = MyClock.label
    
        label:SetFont("ZoFontGameLarge")
        label:SetColor(1, 1, 1, 1)
        label:SetAnchor(TOPLEFT, GuiRoot, TOPLEFT, 20, 20)
        label:SetText("Loading time...")
    end
    
    -- Update function
    local function OnUpdate()
        local realTime = GetLocalTime()
        local tamrielTime = GetTamrielTime()
    
        MyClock.label:SetText(
            string.format("Local Time: %s\nTamriel Time: %s", realTime, tamrielTime)
        )
    end
    
    -- Event handler
    function MyClock.OnAddOnLoaded(event, addonName)
        if addonName ~= MyClock.name then return end
    
        CreateClockUI()
    
        EVENT_MANAGER:RegisterForUpdate(
            MyClock.name .. "Update",
            MyClock.updateInterval * 1000,
            OnUpdate
        )
    end
    
    EVENT_MANAGER:RegisterForEvent(MyClock.name, EVENT_ADD_ON_LOADED, MyClock.OnAddOnLoaded)

    Tamriel Standard Time will let you toggle whichever ones you want to display, I use it to show both.

    A pocket watch won't help me. I need the time displayed where it is in front of me and easy to read.

    I bought a mini desk clock but it hasn't kept accurate time since the day I got it.

    I just need something in front of me so I don't lose track of time when playing.

    Piggy backing because this is very close to what I would really like: does anyone know of an add-on for console that can display the real world time in a different time zone? Or is it only possible to show local time which I assume it would get from the console.

    Maintenance announcements are hard to calculate for me, but every add-on with any kind of clock functionality that I can find is local time, Tamriel time, or a countdown to reset.

    If you use Vestige's Epic Quest as a quest tracker / skyshards / inventory space / riding skills / backpack, bank upgrade / golden pursuits / community events / uncomplete achievements / event tickets cap / transmute crystals cap / Dungeon, Battleground & Tales of Tribute Opponent Finder queue & campaign queue infos/ Psijic Time breaches helper / Fishing achievements / Repeatable Quests Counter / Undone Daily quest with rewards including favors / zone to do list with leads, treasure maps, surveys, doable writs, wanted museum pieces, Zone guide, POI & skyshard completion / Tamriel tomes challenges / rumors Tracker...
    Then you also have a clock for the same price. :D
