For me, personally, my watch will be legible, but if I look at it again the time will be very, very different.
In my lucid dreams, when I look at my watch that's usually what will happen--it will change when I look at it again. Or, as was the case a couple of times, it will show a time inconsistent to what time it appears outside, and I will notice something strange, consider it, and become lucid.
My most interesting dream so far involving my watch was a LD where I spent a few minutes playing with it to see how accurately it was depicted from its real life operation (it's a Timex Ironman Triathlon watch with a bunch of stopwatch features, timers, alarms, alphabetic display prompts, etc., so it's rather complex). It functioned mostly normal, with subtle oddities that i noticed:
* It was a slightly different color or style from in real life, which (combined with a few previous unrelated strange occurrences) made me lucid
* Each time I looked at it, the time was different.
* I kept looking at it to see if there was a pattern. I don't remember if there was, but I think the hour 17 (5 PM in 24-hour format, which I keep it in) came up more than once.
* I tried to make the time show a number I was thinking of, but couldn't. However, when I wondered if it would ever show an invalid time (e.g., minutes above 59), the minutes were 60 next time I looked at it.
* I went to stopwatch mode, and it went into lap/split mode right when I pressed Start, rather than the second time I pressed Start.
* The stopwatch functioned normally for an entire 10-20 seconds before acting strange. Then it skipped seconds by 10s or 11s.
I was going to check the other watch modes, but for some strange reason, I don't remember what happened next. I just remember moving on to doing something totally different. I've had that happen in LDs a few times, too. I don't know if I forgot what happened next, or if the scene suddenly changed and I didn't notice it.
