If my cluster had that It would have been nice. I do not have the fsport model so I have the basic cluster.

Mine has the clock on the center of the info screen as well. Non-Fsport ‘17 MY. Just top right, opposite the outside temp.

I am starting to think this is a software bug when it is in metric since my 2018 F sport 2 is missing the clock, I'll change the measurement to see if the clock shows.

Update: changing the Unit measurements did nothing, I'll be contacting Lexus for clarification as it is stated in the manual that it is there.

The digital clock was implemented on the 2017+ refresh.

Wow that's is certainly weird. I too am wondering if it's a software issue. Thanks for sharing.

Haha thanks for the feed back, but unless one appears somewhere on the dash or cluster the digital remains. I could paint the edges of the digital clock black. Would probably blend in better and be less offensive.

That clock looks absolutely hideous. It takes like 1 second longer to read the time on analog.

Not every IS has the digital clock on the gauge cluster as mentioned above. I believe it is only on 2017+ models. Yours looks like its a 2016.

Agreed, well...I said 1.5 seconds longer but something like that ha.

Still, the OP found something he likes although not appealing I get the sense he's far from alone on feeling like this is missing.

He showed us a pic of his cluster and say that he has a 2018 so what is the deal with that? Kinda makes for confusing statements.

@athanato just posted a pic of his 2018 cluster and it doesn't have it. Make no sense to say 2017 and up has the digital cluster. He mentioned he will look into it. Maybe it will shed on light on who has digital clocks. Better yet, maybe reveal an update so my 2015 can get one too.

I personally don't like the look of the clock you installed, but looks are subjective. If you like it that is all that matters.

I personally like the look of the analog clock in the dash and can read it at a quick glace, but my cluster (2014 non F sport) also shows the digital time on the info page (same place it shows MPG and outside temp), my phone is also mounted in the car, and I wear an apple watch, the time is everywhere for me lol.

Cool man thanks for your input. So if your 2014 shows a digital clock in the cluster, the claim that digital clocks were only implemented in the 2017 refresh, is faulty. Where your digital clock display is located would be ideal. All I see is outside temp.

Yeah it's odd how some people with the same years and models have it and some don't. I'm not sure if it's a software version difference, or maybe perhaps only on the navigation models? Does your car have factory nav? Mine does, so that is just an idea of a possible difference, that may or may not be affecting this.

My 2016 IS200 F-Sport didn't have it on my digital cluster. I tried to go through all the settings myself to see if i can trigger it on and I couldn't. I'd be surprised if a 2016 has it.
