The DateTime Field is meant for displaying dates with an specific format (in case you don't want to use timestamps). The transform_data method of this field, turns the data into a more readable format specified by the user through the format parameter.
As a difference from the Date Field, DateTime Field is capable of changing the DateTime time zone easing the process of localization.
