I'm not a fan of analog clocks in cars, makes them seem its for an older clientele.
I like everything listed in the gauge cluster so there is less distraction while driving.
With that said does the analog clock get auto adjusted by the GPS or is it manually set only?, if its manual I'm never touching it and to be honest I completely ignore it.

There are analog clocks that are automated via the AM time sync band but seems the clock is manual.
What they should have done is place an OLED screen inside the clock so you could switch between analog and digital, but I guess that was too much to ask...even cheap Chinese watches do that now.

I have a 2017 IS 300 f-sport (Canadian edition) and there is no digital clock on mine. I was led to believe that the Canadian versions do not have the digital clock and the American versions do. Go figure.

Hey good point... My 2015 was manufactured in Japan 8/14 ... I wonder if this is a determining factor on who gets digital clocks.

Nothing that helps 
They responded with this statement:
"We would like to advise you that as per page 82 of your Owners Manual, the clock is displayed on the instrument cluster when the main meter is moved to the right. Please see the picture on page 84 of the manual for the button on the steering wheel to move the main meter."
I will provide them the photos of the clock not being there and the option not existing in the settings menu and note about this thread that folks with 2017 and 2019 have it and see what they say, also when I take the car in for the 1600km first check up I will ask the dealer to insure I have the latest software loaded.
