So I've owned my '15 GS for less than a week and noticed the only clock is the obvious analog dial up front but no digital clock on that huge NAV display or even the instrument cluster? Am I stupid and can't find it in the settings or Lexus simply omits a digital clock?

 

I'm interested in this too. I always have my phone mounted in front of the clock. I wish there is a way to display time on the screen.

 

Lexus... best in reliability by failing to keep up with the digital times.

 

An analog clock face is considered more elegant than a digital clock face.

It has also been found that most people will remember the time when they make a quick glance at an analog clock, but the time is almost immediately forgotten with a quick glance at a digital clock. Most people tend to remember the position of the hands on an analog clock both consciously and in their mind's eye unconsciously, but the digital readout often does not stick in their memory so much.

If you were to design an elegant personal area environment (room, office, etc.) you would not choose a digital clock unless the design style was Modern and likely had lots of glass, stainless-steel and cold, hard, squared-off surfaces and components.

 

 

My '18 F Sport, bottom left:

 

That a 2018 model which has the newer instrument panel cluster from the IS and was introduced from 2016+ but what about the 2015 version?

 

There is no digital clock "for display" on the 2015s, it is what it is.

Well that solves that.

 

I assume everyone knows how to tell time by looking at an analog clock, and doesn't need a digital readout to know what time it is.

 

not if the clock is always late or too early, and cost an arm and a leg to replace after it goes bad. I've always mounted my phone (note 8) on my vent and it has a "always on" display which has the time

 

 

This thread is kinda silly, but digital clocks can also be late or early and whatever component they are a part of would likely be expensive to replace as well. FWIW I really like the analog clock.

 

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
