I don't use a watch just to avoid hours / minutes math.
Coach: "How much time's left, Blue."
Me (thinking): "Start time 6:17. Time limit 65 minutes. Now it is 6:51. Uhhh... Uhhh... " (now out loud) "About half an hour, coach." (thinking again) "I hope that is close..."
I use a count-down timer with an alarm when time expires. I use my watch (in my pocket...) as a backup in case the count-down timer has an issue.
Now, the conversation goes like this:
Coach: "What was our start time, Blue." (asked about 3 innings into the game)
Me: "Beats me, coach!" (enjoying the look on his face while I pull out the timer)... "But there's about 32 minutes left."
