Change to the notification bar clock in 4.3

It may have been like this all along and perhaps I just did not notice. My device is a Nexus 4. Don't know if other devices are similar.

It appears that in the notification bar on the right hand side, where usually you see WiFi or cellular signal strength, battery level, and a clock, the clock is gone when you are on the lock screen, but reappears when you unlock the device.

Am I crazy or is this new? Its not really an issue but I just noticed for the first time yesterday after upgrading to 4.3.

yeah don't worry you're not crazy.. I was thinking the same thing yesterday after updating to 4.3 haha my gf's N4 hadn't been updated so I compared and yeah they did take away the clock on the lock screen. Quite an odd thing to remove.

It isn't really odd if you think about it. It removes some redundancy. It is only gone if the widget doesn't include a clock. So if the music widget is on the lock screen the clock reappears. I welcome this change.

Yes, I figured it was a redundancy issue. Not a big deal to me one way or the other, and I was unaware that by removing the clock widget, the other clock appears. Just rather amusing.

Hm interesting, I didn't know it worked like this. Either way I liked the clock in the corner, it seems so ...empty now. Oh well, maybe it'll come back with 5.0!
