You tube video from England shows analog clock display on 2021 Mini SE
Can I have an analog clock display on a 2022 Mini SE?
 
I recall someone else mentioning that it was removed in 2022+ but then I saw that it is mentioned in the 2022 owner's manual. I have a 2021 and it is there.

Inexplicably, the analog clock, my favorite display in my 2021 SE, was removed beginning in 2022. Did it use up too many CPU resources to be continued? I don't see an analog clock in this video as one of the "experience" options for the upcoming Chinese J01 MINI Cooper.

I found an analog clock in the concierge section as one of the options. Unfortunately I cannot get is to remain as a selection when Concierge is deselected?
So the clock is still in there but is quite elusive?
 
OK I got it!
I set the analog clock in the split screen of concierge.
When I went back to FM radio the analog clock appears in the split screen.
Not checked the screen with NAV yet but i am hopeful

I wonder why no one else could find this? I hope you discover a way to achieve the beautiful, uncluttered simplicity of the analog clock being the only thing on display. Photos will encourage others to duplicate your feat.

Go to Concierge and click over to split screen options.
Could not get clock on full screen

That's beyond useless IMO lol. Apart from the fact that I eschew the MINI UI in favor of CarPlay, that's an ugly clock face that takes up too much real estate. It'd be fine as a "screen saver" but I actually like having all the info that CarPlay displays (Map, Music, Calendar, Messages) available at a glance.

I like the clock only because it has a mostly black background and the display constantly getting darker and then lighter and then darker again because the light sensor is in a terrible position, isn't as noticeable.
