Yes, it is possible using a loop.
This is a basic 24 clock going on loop:
while true do -- Here starts the loop
local time = os.time()
time = textutils.formatTime(time, true) -- Replace true with false for 12- hour clock.
print("Time:"..time)
sleep(0.2) -- We want to add sleep so computer doesn't throw error out after some time.
term.clear() -- Clear screen so it's nice and clean
term.setCursorPos(1,1) -- Set Cursor to starting point.
end
And this will make clock refresh every 0.2 second.
