While we can use apps like UCCW and Minimalist Text to create our own clock widgets, it is always good to use a separate app for your widgets as they have built-in customization options. The app, Eye in Sky Weather which we have reviewed earlier also have some beautiful widgets which can be displayed on the homescreen.

Chronus is an elegant, holo styled clock and weather widget which can be displayed on the homescreen as well as lockscreen. The widget is originally a part of CyanogenMod 10.1 ROM, and now released as a standalone app by the same developer. So, if you wanted to have the CyanogenMod clock widget on your phone's stock ROM, you can use it with this app.
