Bug Description

The Unity Time/Date Clock shows "Time" rather than the current time.
The options under "Time & Date Settings..." "Clock" tab are enabled to 'Show a clock in the menu bar'.
This is a fresh install of beta 2, with frequent updates since.
I've 'reinstall'ed indicator-datetime, logged out/logged in, no change.

I expect the current date/time (as per settings) to be displayed within the top bar.

Instead the text string "Time" is displayed.
