clearClip is almost 4 more times expensive then setClip

You can do this with only one clip region (for seconds in onPartialUpdate())  I do it all the time! Figure out how many characters will fit, limit the length of a sting and just display that many.

Looks to me you have big bugs in onUpdate and you set clips to hide them.  In onUpdate, you ALWAYS want to update the entire screen.

Looks to me you have a bug with displaying hours and whatever the "16" is The fact you also lost seconds means you're not doing that properly in onUpdate, where you don't even have to set a clip region.

no, I need clip in onUpdate:

with clip

without
