Your watch doesn't measure time, it measures the oscillation of a quartz crystal. Humans don't measure time either.
We measure time with memory.
We can't perceive time directly. We can only perceive the now directly. The now is not time. It is a moment. We perceive moments, string them together with memory chronologically to form an indirect perception of time.
We perceive memory. Memory is an abstraction of the now. Memory is abstracted, subjective information. We can create abstracted, subjective information. We call that projection, dreaming, fantasy, planning.
