I wear a watch for my Men's ASA Slow Pitch leagues. Else how would I know exactly when game time is I also use it when I need to time the minute between half innings.

I can't find anywhere in the ASA Rule Book that states that umpires aren't supposed to wear a watch (as per the other thread). Am I missing something somewhere?

If we are not supposed to wear a watch, then how are we supposed to judge time for all of the instances that are required of us that are stated in the rule book? (should we count "one-one thousand, two-one thousand, etc.)

I've not worked NFHS yet, but are those umpires allowed to wear watches?
I'm not sure of NFHS's position, but GHSA, (NFHS) is a no.
I've never been told not to CARRY a watch, only not to WEAR one. Doesn't matter to me one way or the other, but if the association I am working for say's don't wear a watch, I don't wear one.
