I feel this is where you have to be "looking out of the top of your eyes". If you have good vision there shouldn't be a place on the floor where you can't see the clock(our assosciation you have to have a scoreboard on each end), but besides that even if I couldn't I consider the rule to mean when I look or glance at the clock and see what the time is, that is when I give it a second to lapse. Especially in late game situations we should have our level of awareness at its highest possible point, hence looking up at the clock as soon as a whistle is blown. I don't think you can give a second up before we look up because we don't have a definitive clue of what the clock really showed. Guessing has been long taken out of the equation. JMO though.
