Punctuality is a core value. Checking the time is a subtle way to show you care about the schedule. Checking the time can sometimes be seen as rude if done while someone is talking. Smartphones have replaced wristwatches for many, but the phrase remains the same.

Use '時計' for precision

If you are looking at a specific clock, use '時計を見る'.
