Dated example (UTC), not the current time: 2026-09-05 12:00 UTC − 10800 s = 2026-09-05 09:00:00 UTC. The live result adds or subtracts elapsed seconds from the device clock, then formats the result in its local time zone. A daylight-saving change can make the wall-clock difference look different. The device clock must be correct.
