There isn't a specific Widget that can embed a Clock or Time in a Smartsheet Dashboard (please submit your feedback to the Product team through this form, here!)
This article has a list of embeddable content in Dashboards: Embed Custom Content in Dashboards and WorkApps
One way to display just the Date would be to use a Sheet with a Record a Date workflow to update the date in a cell each day. Then you could use this cell as the source for a Metric Widget on your Dashboard.
Another option may be to look into a browser extension that adds a date/time so you can see it while looking at the Dashboard.

Hi @Jesus J.
The way I got the date to display on my dashboard, was I created 'current date' field in the Sheet then in the Dashboard used the 'Metric Widget' to pull in the current date.
From my dashboard:
