lock screen clock

[highzenborg]

this needs to be changed

[Tallman]

I think you can change the style under settings → Lock screen and security → Always on display. Click on Digital Clock and on the botton left corner, you can change the clock stlye too.

Not much in terms of options unless you used the always on display and had a custom theme. Unfortunately there isn't any setting to change.

the only way you can change it is by applying a theme which has a different clock interface

This is a common complaint so hopefully Samsung will see the suggestions and offer alternative clock styles in a future update.
As @emperor said, some themes offer a different clock.

Yes on s8 there is aod screen lock screen and home screen..clock can't be changed in lock screen. more of these suggestions posts should change that in a future update!

Samsung please take note: this clock is awful.

It is awfull and the only way to change it is to "buy" a theme.... After paying an hefty price for the phone... !!!!!

[skyquest]

Even by changing for a theme with another clock look, it goes back to the stacked clock...

If you have any notification on the lock screen, the clock will read properly. I put in an app which gives a notification even when locked. Look for ACR Automatic Call Recorder. it works on my Tablet and my phone to keep the clock looking normal. (both run Nougat)
