How can I change the time zone in the default clock widget in Standby?

I updated my 14 Pro Max to public beta 5, and in Standby the default analog clock widget (that is displayed with the monthly calendar) is showing the time for Cupertino (CUP -3). How do I change it to my local time zone (EDT)? All the other clock options that are available display my local time.

Tap and hold on the widget, select "Edit clock", choose your time zone.

That didn't work. When I tapped and held on the widget, nothing happened. What I ended up doing was deleting that widget and adding another clock widget in its place that did display the correct time zone. Problem solved.

Somehow the regular clock built into the phone knows what time it is... yet standby needs to start off in Cupertino? 🤨 That's some really goofy sh*t. Why wouldn't the default clock just start off as matching the present location of the phone or whatever location/zone the regular built-in clock is using?

Simply editing the default clock widget to change Cupertino to your city is the solution, albeit a bit clumsy at first. Press and hold the clock, enter passcode, then press the clock again, then tap on the city's name and type in new city.

Otherwise, that's just what I've always wanted on my nightstand, a clock showing the time at Apple HQ, which is several time-zones away. 🤣
