set clock_format <text>

The client uses strftime(3) to create the system clock (%T on your status bar or $Z).

When this variable is unset (the default) the strftime value used to create the clock is either “%R” if set clock_24hour is ON or “%I:%M%p” if it is OFF.

When this variable is set, the client uses this value as the strftime value used to create the clock, and disregards the value of set clock_24hour.

The system clock is updated every set clock_interval seconds when cpu saver mode isn't active. The default interval is 60 seconds, so putting seconds in your clock format won't buy much unless you lower your clock interval.
