You can probably change the color of the LED but that's about as custom as you can get with the hardware provided. If you're trying to get something like an analog clock or some kind of a gauge, you're gonna have to fabricate a mount but it probably isn't worth it. This is uncharted territory here, I haven't heard of anyone who disliked the clock that much.

Haha I never even noticed or considered that it might look dated. I guess I don't have discerning taste when it comes to clocks.

I really don't get this. Some uk folk feel the same. I like a nice watch but do i need an analogue clock in my car???

Fair enough if it bugs you but I really don't mind it. Doubt there is any way to change it though. Maybe gaffa tape a rolex over it?
