· counted in your time zone
5 pm is the end of the classic nine-to-five workday, the time most offices in the US call it a day. The clock above counts down to it on your own device, so it is right wherever you are. Once 5 pm has passed, it starts counting to 5 pm tomorrow.
5 pm, 17:00 and 1700
On a 12-hour clock it is 5 pm, or 5:00 p.m. in most style guides. On a 24-hour clock, used by the military, hospitals and most of the world, it is 17:00, and in military time it is 1700, said “seventeen hundred”.
Weekends and days off
The page always counts to the next 5 pm, Saturdays and Sundays included, and it has no idea whether today is a holiday. On a Saturday morning it will still tell you how long until 5 pm today. For a longer wait, like the days left until a vacation, the vacation countdown is the better fit.
For a set number of minutes, use a timer. The same live count also runs to noon and to midnight.
