yes, for sure. I'm a huge clockwatcher. I don't wear a watch. Well, I have a couple of them, one for scuba diving that I always wear for vacations, and one really nice one that I wear for weddings, funerals, job interviews, etc., but I don't wear a watch otherwise. On the other hand, I have some deeply-ingrained psychological need to always be aware of the exact time, so I look at clocks. There's never any shortage of them. I can see four of them from where I'm sitting in the living room just now. From my office window, I can see the big one on the quadrangle, as well as the wallclock on my wall, the deskclock on my desk, and the one on the computer. I have at least one in every room of the house including all three bathrooms and the basement.
Also, I don't use alarms. Oh, once in a blue moon I'll set one, like if I have a 6:30AM flight from Harrisburg or something, but I'm a firm believer that they're unhealthy, so one of the first things I do when I wake up is look at the clock. I keep an inordinately large number of them within eyesight of the bed so I can see the time from just about any angle.
Before now I never really thought about calling myself a clockwatcher, but now that you mention the term, I'd definitely say that I qualify.
