Removing seconds from Live clock using JavaScript

Question

I was wondering if it is possible to remove the seconds group in a live clock made with JavaScript. Ive been tinkering with it for a while now and have not been successful so far. Any advice or guidance well be gratefully welcomed.

Here's what I'm working with...

function myClock() {
  setTimeout(function() {
    const date = new Date();
    const timeOutput = date.toLocaleTimeString();
    document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = timeOutput;
    myClock();
  }, 1000)
}
myClock();

<div id="demo"></div>

You could just split your timeOutput and then grab the hour and minutes, like so:

function myClock() {         
    setTimeout(function() {   
      const date = new Date();
      const dateString = date.toLocaleTimeString('en-GB', {hour12: false});
      const split = dateString.split(":");
      const hour = parseInt(split[0]);
      const min = parseInt(split[1]);
      const period = hour < 12 ? 'AM' : 'PM';
      const timeOutput = hour + ':' + min + ' ' + period;
      document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = timeOutput; 
      myClock();
    }, 1000)
}
  
myClock();

<div id="demo"></div>
