Actual time is 4:23
Clock widget shows 3:50
How hard is it to sync the two? Apparently it's rocket science.

I get that it's a beta, but still hard to believe that Apple couldn't figure out the Clock widget on the first try. It's a freaking mess!

On the beta list of important features and tasks to focus on, the clock widget is down at the bottom for Apple.
I clearly can see the same desaster as with watch complications: not enough refresh, old values.
It's not an issue with the clock, it's an issue affecting the widgets as a whole. There's obviously a problem that needs fixing, and thus as a beta TEST, we provided feedback on the feedback app, and they fix it. I wonder if everyone on here whinging about the clock have bothered to do so (Have seen a couple that stated they have, but not much more than that).
Yes, we all are. I managed to get it to show correct time for about an hour, before it went back to being wrong. It is a beta bug.
Cool, thank you. I kinda figured but wanted to check
Go into Wiggle mode on home screen and then swipe left, tap on the plus sign icon in the top right corner, and then scroll down and you should see the list of new widgets that you can add. You should see clock in the list.
I posted the video to confirm we are on the same proverbial page.

You can’t accidentally delete the new widget so, you may be experiencing a clock bug. The only way I know to try and get it to show on your device is to reinstall iOS 14.
The clock app icon always worked fine though. The widget is basically an enlarged version of that.
No it‘s not. The clock app icon is something exotic no one has access to, whereas the widget system is essentially open to 3rd parties (you can do widgets that have dynamic content like moving parts).
This issue is related to underlying widget issues that prevent them from updating properly. I assume it has to do with the timeline not updating properly due to potentially aggressive power management for the widget system.
If only there was a another place on the phone that showed the time. Like, the lockscreen, or the top left at anytime phone is unlocked.
Which is why I wish Apple would give is the Always On Display like Android OLED phones have done for years.

I am surprised in the new Beta that the Weather App if you switch to Location Based still only shows Cuppertino lol, I figured that would have been addressed by now. I live in Charlotte btw haha
"i know it's a beta, but why does it behave like a beta?" 
of course these things need fixing, but why is anyone surprised that betas have issues? even 'finished' OSes have issues...
meanwhile, this:

Would anybody else like to see options for different clock faces (like different watch faces on the Apple Watch) for the large version of the widget?
