Delete a clock. Right-click it (or hold your finger down on it).

From the shortcut menu, choose Delete.

Timer

Countdown timers are everywhere in life. They measure the periods in
sports and games, cooking times in the kitchen, penalties in hockey. The

third tab in the Alarms & Clock app, Timer, is a countdown timer. You
input a starting time, and it counts down to zero.

To set the timer, click the big digits; now you can change the name and the

time of the timer. Hit the Save ( ) button.

Finally, hit . The timer counts down toward zero. You can hit the button
to pause the countdown, if you like (and to resume it). Or hit to start it

over or to make the numbers big and bold enough to see from the moon.

When the timer runs out, you get a notification and a sound, which will
keep chiming until you hit Dismiss.

Stopwatch

You’ve never met a prettier stopwatch than this one. Hit to begin timing
something: a runner, a train, a long-winded person who’s arguing with you.

While the digits are flying by, you can tap the Lap button ( ) as often as

you like. Each time, the Laps list identifies how much time elapsed since
the last time you tapped Lap. It’s a way for you to compare, for example,
how much time a runner is spending on each lap around a track. The large

digits tell you how much time has elapsed since you started the stopwatch.

Tap to freeze the counter; tap to resume the timing. If you tap , you

reset the counter to zero and erase all the lap times.
