I personally find it very distracting when the clock continuously shifts around as seconds tick. Because we're not using a monospace font for the clock, this is to be expected since each number has a different typographic width. However, a tradeoff can be made to make this slightly less distracting. Instead of _perfectly_ centering the time string for every given possible time, we can center it once based on a constant measurement and render the rest of the string as left-aligned. The advantage is that the clock no longer shifts around anymore while seconds tick. The disadvantage is that the time may sometimes be not perfectly centered by a pixel or two for certain numbers. Personally, I find the tradeoff well worth it, and I don't think I would even notice the imperfect centering unless I was specifically looking for it and watching it for a long time.
