About this clock
Crestview does not keep Florida's usual time
Most of Florida is on Eastern Standard Time, but Crestview keeps Central Standard Time — 1 hour behind the rest of the state. This is the kind of thing that catches people out, and it is why the zone is resolved from the city’s own coordinates rather than assumed from the state.
Crestview is currently on standard time. The next change is Sunday, March 14, 2027, when 2:00 am becomes 3:00 am local time.
Crestview sits at 30.75°N, 86.58°W. For sunrise and sunset there — which do depend on exactly where it is, unlike the clock — see sunrise and sunset in Crestview.
Clock time against sun time
The clock says the same thing everywhere in Central Standard Time, but the sun does not. Over Crestview it is highest at 11:30 am today — 30 minutes before clock noon.
At 86.6°W, Crestview sits 14 minutes of solar time east of Central Standard Time’s 90° meridian, so on standard time the sun peaks 14 minutes before noon.
