UTC Face: World Clock puts a city's time on your Apple Watch face in type large enough to read at a glance. The built-in world clock complication is small. This one uses the whole slot: the city's three-letter code, its UTC offset, and the time — in the same large, rounded, monospaced face as your watch's own clock. HOW IT WORKS • Edit your watch face and add UTC Face to a large rectangular complication slot — Modular Duo, Modular, Infograph Modular, or any face with one. • Tap the slot again to choose which city it shows. • Put a second one in the other slot for a different city. YOUR CITY LIST • Manage your cities in the iPhone app: add, remove, reorder. • Changes sync to your watch automatically. • 50 built-in cities covering every major time zone, available offline. • Unlimited online search for anywhere else. • UTC is always there. ACCURATE • Updates on the minute, aligned to the minute boundary — no drift. • Daylight saving changes are handled automatically for every city. PRIVATE • No accounts, no analytics, no ads. • Your city list stays on your devices. There is no server. Requires iOS 26 and watchOS 26.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: B.B. Link Configurator at Free against UTC Face's $0.99. B.B. Link Configurator also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (8 vs 1). UTC Face's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 weeks). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

B.B. Link Configurator holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: B.B. Link Configurator has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of B.B. Link Configurator's written reviews are positive against 100% of UTC Face's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

B.B. Link Configurator ships an update every 5 weeks, UTC Face every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
