A32 5G - Samsung Clock app has no city with GMT-9?

[nontypicalguy]

Hi, I'm trying to add a city to the Samsung Clock app that is at GMT-9:00, but unfortunately I cannot find one.

In the Android OS' native datetime settings, I can manually configure the timezone to a city (Adak) on Hawaii-Aleutian Time (GMT-9:00).

That city does not exist in the Clock app when searching the app for cities, nor can I find another city with that timezone.

Please note that during Daylight Savings Time, Anchorage is at GMT-8:00. So that does not work.

EDIT: I have an A32 5G factory unlocked, and auto time zone doesn't work because I was on a cruise with no cell or internet service. Even if I had internet service, why wouldn't Samsung Clock have GMT-9 to add to my World Clocks list?

@nontypicalguy Weird, I'm not seeing Adak in World clock on my Fold 6 (factory unlocked) either. You probably should report this via the Samsung Member app -> Support -> Send feedback. 

[Edit] It isn't on my wife's S24 Ultra (factory unlocked) either.

Thank you for confirming that someone else doesnt see this city & time zone option either.

A system OS update did not resolve the issue either. I have sent feedback using the Samsung members app regarding the Clock application, and will update the post if I get a response or resolution

I got a Samsung response from my feedback / error report - The issue has been raised with developers:

Given that this app hasn't been updated in one year and this doesn't impact a ton of people, it may be a long time if ever for this to be resolved.

Samsung Clock was updated 3/25/25. So, just a couple of days ago.

I was checking the Google Play store which still hasn't been updated from the screenshot I shared earlier in this post: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sec.android.app.clockpackage

I see the updated app in the Galaxy Store, so I updated the Clock app, and the issue still exists. At least this gives more hope that my reported issue has at least a chance of being fixed at some point.

You shouldn't update from there. The Samsung Clock included in your device is updated from the Samsung Galaxy Store.
