datetime('11:04:55')
Note that it will use the current date for the date part (since a datetime is always date + time as the name indicates). If you do not want the date to display (it will still be stored and can be accessed):
datetime('11:04:55', 'Format', 'HH:mm:ss')
You may want to use a duration type instead of datetime.
duation('11:04:55')
Just as easy.
