The clock app functions as an alarm, timer, stopwatch, or of course a world clock.

The app, with the latest version, is the same as what you’ll find in the Android developer preview. With functions as a stopwatch and alarm to wake you up for the daily grind. You can check the time in hundreds of cities worldwide. It also plays with  Now’s voice commands. When you say OK, set the alarm, and the app will be ready.

The story behind the story: Android puts its apps in the Play Store so it can update them directly. Otherwise, you’d have to wait for an Android operating system update, and we all know how long that can take, depending on the make of the phone.
