Can the elementary clock display seconds?

Question

I would like the lock-screen clock and the wingpanel clock to show seconds. Is this possible?

Yes, you can use Dconf-editor or Configurator and go to com.canonical.indicator.datetime and enable show-seconds

Or just paste this in your terminal:

gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.datetime show-seconds true

If you don't want to show seconds anymore you can use this:

gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.datetime show-seconds false

For elementary OS Juno,

gsettings set io.elementary.desktop.wingpanel.datetime clock-show-seconds true

elementary OS 5.0 Juno did accept only that form. I've tried the rest and the doesn't work!

When I use that command it says:

No such schema "com.canonical.indicator.datetime"

Edit: the correct setting is:

(under dconf Editor) io.elementary.desktop.wingpanel.datetime -> clock-show-seconds

That could have changed in the current release, the problem with the question is that he/she never defined which version is using. In release-juno you are right, this is the key to achieve it
