2 suggestions for the menubar icon:

1. It strays dangerously close to the bottom of the menubar, making it look awkwardly too big next to the other icons (Apple's included)
2. I have on my menubar 4 other icons with circles, 3 of them being Apple standard (analog clock, TimeMachine, Spotlight, F.lux). Each of these circles is drawn with a narrower stroke than the area clock circle. This makes it stand out as awkwardly heavy (thick).

You do, however, have the problem of needing to differentiate your icon a bit from the standard Apple analog clock. I would suggest as a complete alternative, a digital stop-watch icon that reflects the current timed task a la, for instance, [Billings](http://205.186.132.170/billings/images/tracktime/image_tracktime.jpg), which I use for time tracking.
