Unable to change cities in World Clock widget Big Sur

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see how you add or remove cities in the World Clock widget in Big Sur.

Mac mini, macOS 11.0

  1. Right click on the widget
  2. Select “edit clock”
  3. Select the name of the clock you’d like to edit (orange text) and it should change to a list of locations that you can select from or fill in the form to auto-populate. 
  4. Make sure you hit “done” in the top right corner when you’re finished to save.

Hi, in case you didn't find an answer yet, cities can be edited in the Mac Big Sur widget. It takes some right-clicking (ctrl-click).


Open Notifications, scroll to the Clock widget, and right-click on it. Then choose Edit "Clock" and right-click on a city name. This brings up a searchable list of all available cities.


All four cities can be changed, but it does look like it's limited to four cities total. Hope that helps! I always trying right-clicking when I get stuck :)

SS 2/3: Right-click on the name of any of the 4 cities:

Fixed it!

The World Clock widget is set to have four and only four cities. You can't add or subtract clocks, but you can change the cities.


However! There's a Clock widget which has just one clock. You can add it to your Notification Center. Heck! You can add two!

This is what I did to solve the problem. Two bigger clocks, rather than one four-tiny-clock scenario.


And it works fantastically!

I'm very happy now!
