How to get the hour and minute of an UTC time

Question

How can I see this time as HH:MM:SS using javascript?

2019-07-25T09:35:38.193896+00:00

I've tried this code below but I got only my zone's time.

var timeDate = new Date("2019-07-25T02:47:08.159794-07:00");
console.log(timeDate.toString());
var sa = timeDate.getHours();
var da = timeDate.getMinutes();
var san = timeDate.getSeconds();
console.log(sa);
console.log(da);
console.log(san);

I expect to see this time in HH:MM:SS format.

@FedericoklezCulloca but when I do that I don't see the actual time I see my region's time. — Güney, Jul 25 '19 at 09:44

(new Date()).toUTCString().substring(17,25)

var timeDate = new Date("2019-07-25T09:35:38.193896+00:00");
console.log(`${timeDate.getUTCHours()}:${timeDate.getUTCMinutes()}:${timeDate.getUTCSeconds()}`);

function myFunction() {
  var d = new Date();
  var n = d.toLocaleTimeString();
  document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = n;
}

<p id="demo"></p>
<button onclick="myFunction()">Try it</button>

Return the time portion of a Date object as a string, using locale conventions:

var d = new Date();
var n = d.toLocaleTimeString();

I found this on: https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/tryit.asp?filename=tryjsref_tolocaletimestring

There is two javascript fucntions for getting the Hours and Minutes:

Define a date like below:

var birthday = new Date('December 31, 1975, 23:15:30 GMT+11:00');

Use getUTCHours for getting hours:

console.log(birthday.getUTCHours());
// expected output: 23

Use getUTCMinutes for getting minutes:

console.log(birthday.getUTCMinutes());
// expected output: 15

See the mozilla documentation:

JavaScript Demo: Date.getUTCHours()

JavaScript Demo: Date.getUTCMinutes()

The toLocaleTimeString() method returns a string with a language sensitive representation of the time portion of this date. The new locales and options arguments let applications specify the language whose formatting conventions should be used and customize the behavior of the function. In older implementations, which ignore the locales and options arguments, the locale used and the form of the string returned are entirely implementation dependent. Read more here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date/toLocaleTimeString

function getTime() {
    let date = new Date();
    let time = date.toLocaleTimeString();
    document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = time;
}

<p id="demo"></p>
<button onclick="getTime()">Check time</button>

You can also check it.

console.log(time.toLocaleTimeString('en-US'));
// expected output: 1:15:30 AM

console.log(time.toLocaleTimeString('it-IT'));
// expected output: 01:15:30

console.log(time.toLocaleTimeString('ar-EG'));
// expected output: ١٢:١٥:٣٠ ص
