I have a spreadsheet where I have to enter a start time and an end time manually in hours, minutes, and seconds. Is there any way I could just click in the start cell, bring in the time and then when I am finished click in the end cell and bring in my end time?

Is there a way to have a cell always show a real-time running clock that doesn't require any action to make it update? And ho can you show times in different time zones, real-time?
