No, seriously. All you have to do is use both hands...

RE the comic:
I did this, and was amazed at my ability to see clearly through a tiny pinprick. It worked!

RE wristwatches:
I used my phone for the time exclusively until I started working as a nurse in the hospital. You really need one when you need to note respirations and pulses all the time.

Even while standing? Are you bending down so that your nearly upside-down face can spot the watch and proclaim: "It is seven o'cock"?

...

Alternative thought: It's a sundial.
"Yeah it's pretty accurate, but only while I'm staring at your boobs."

Could they be afraid that you would rig the clock to make a bomb?
Yea, the policy of phones having to be turned off in most other classrooms so students don't spend their time playing games, texting and cheating and then having to use one in lab to tell the time seems rather idiotic. But that is college administrators for you. Apparently they think clocks will ruin the look of the room. Cause you know, in a lab it is all about style, function should be secondary.

I ended up getting a belt clip watch. It doesn't get in my way, is more accessible than my phone, it was considerably cheaper than a wristwatch of similar quality and people can wonder why I'm looking at my crotch.

This really depends on the wristwatch.
It doubles as a calculator!

Someone set up us the clock. All your phones are belong to us. You have to chance to check the time.

I used to almost never wear a watch. For some stupid reason I got in the habit of wearing it on my right wrist, and I'm right handed, so it always got in my way. Prior to cellphones, I just never knew exactly what time it was when I was not somewhere there was a clock. I usually didn't need to know what time it was though, so it wasn't that big of a deal.

Now though, I'm thinking I need a watch. I don't usually take my phone hiking with me, and when I do it is usually turned off and buried in my pack. So it is kind of a pain to check the time when trying to decide if I should head back or if I can squeeze a few more miles in before the park service tickets my car. The school administration won't allow clocks in our chemistry lab for some baffling reason, and I don't really like having my cell phone out to use as a timer in chem lab.

My phone is ridiculouly old, and it's most advanced feature is a slightly more demanding game than snake (you have to steer a car using left and right arrows), so I prefer to keep my phone in my pocket unless I have to, and stick to a wristwatch.

I forgot my watch at home and it's been impossible to find a new one in this giant city.

Watches are way easier to handle than stupid phones. But then I don't act like a phone is an essential part of my life.

I wish my phone displayed the time.
Oh wait.
The oh wait is because I realised it's about time to get rid of this shitty phone.
