Yeah, I get the same result if I use the second method. All the time is the same.Maybe this is because the python's class inheritance mechanism?

update:
I know why. The default value must be callable. This means you should use a function to wrap the current time.

Hey, could you give an example of that? I could add it to the post!

def current_time():  
    return datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")  
  
class Example(BaseModel):  
    date_created = DateTimeField(default=current_time)   # not current_time()

I implemented something similar using Peewee's inbuilt signals decorators.

Does this work when Model.update is called? I've got a similar solution implemented but it's not picking up the current time when I expect it to. All updates are through Model.update(key=value).where(id=xx) methods.

You need
Model.update(key=value).where(id==xx)
Note the difference between assignment (=) and comparison (==).
