Well, there's no "loop" to phase lock here.
This was the reason for me, to write: "starting point". Look to my

Well, there's no "loop" to phase lock here. The PLL analogy might hold
up if you used your timer to measure the interval between changes of
the clock, then use that to change t

Using a timer isn't too bad. Running at two updates per second
should be acceptable since you're sampling at twice the highest
"event" frequency. You might want to go a bit faster and maybe at
a slightly odd multiple of one second to make sure you don't end up
with a constant half-second

I think only you can really answer that - after all you are the one
making the clock app. What's "better" for you? Big digital 7-segment
