SeClock shows just the seconds on your Lock Screen or Home Screen — the part the system clock leaves out. Long-press the Lock Screen or Home Screen to add the widget. An in-app purchase lets you tune the font, weight, size, and opacity so the seconds blend into your setup. Prefer the Dynamic Island? Tap the button in the app to start a Live Activity that keeps seconds ticking there for up to about 8 hours. You can also use the app itself as a fullscreen HH:MM:SS clock. *Widgets and Live Activities may be off by up to about 1 second.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: SeClock at none against Clock Widget's shown. SeClock also leads on review sentiment (58% vs 33%) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Clock Widget's advantage is ratings volume (49 vs 4) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
