I want to have several time zone clocks (cities with local time) in my top bar on my Ubuntu 20.04. There is a similar question and answer here but it does not work on my system as some users have reported that shell extension does not work for Ubuntu 20.04. I could not figure out a way to do this. Is there a solution or workaround for this?

EDIT

Following @Terrance and other answers here, I installed gnome-clocks and then panel world clock (lite). I was able to get multiple clocks on my top bar with corresponding time zones.

But it does not show me the option to change the time zone to city name. Why is this happening? Any fixes for this? I will very much prefer city names to time zones.

I am not sure if it has anything to do with panel world clock version but mine is 11.

Following the two answers that are here How to get world clocks to show on the task bar in Ubuntu 18.04 will give you the ability to have the clocks on the bar and to set them with the city names instead.

After you get the gnome-clocks installed sudo apt install gnome-clocks then you visit https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/946/panel-world-clock-lite/ and enable the plugin for the world clock lite. You will probably need to log out and back in after enabling it if it gives you an error when you enable it.

After you have logged back in, revisit https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/946/panel-world-clock-lite/ and click on the configure button:

The Panel World Clock Lite configuration will launch. Enable location instead of time zone in panel:

Enjoy the city names instead of time zone name:
