No problems with my analog clock... I love it, makes the car that much more classy looking inside. The digital clocks make cars look cheap and old... But in the end it's personal preference.

I agree that some digital clocks on the dash look cheap but displaying the time on the NAV screen wouldn't take away from anything or look cheap. They just need to put it up there next to the bluetooth icon. I'm sure it could be done with a firmware update.
It's interesting how this thread has grown to two pages and there's at least 3 or 4 other ones with the same topic.

Agreed. The cell signal is useless anyways IMO.

This is how the digital clock was laid out in the Audi, its unobtrusive and is displayed no matter what screen you were in.

If the analog clock were tied to GPS it would be 100% accurate all time...hence, it is not linked to GPS.

Irrelevant. Either the clock is linked to GPS or it isn't. LS or IS doesn't matter.

Uhhh yes obviously. Why are you just stating the same fact that the other person posted?

This is the first time I have heard of the clock drifting in the IS. In my car I set it to be one minute faster than my phone, and it has stayed that way. I guess some of the units are defective.

A bit off topic, but I still haven't reset my digital clock since daylight savings time ended (2017 IS300 Fsport).

I thought the clock should be under "settings", after sliding the LFA gauge over. Couldn't seem to find it there.

Also, the the infotainment has a "settings" menu. It has a button for daylight savings time. Will changing that
setting correct the digital clock?

The two little buttons under the clock face change the time. Do it manually.

Right. I know how to set the analog clock.
My IS has a digital clock at the lower left of the instrument cluster.
