On your wrist, too The Apple Watch app is free. Add a complication to your watch face and just raise your wrist to see how long until you're done. However you work • 9 to 5, alternating weeks, rotating shifts, night shifts past midnight: you can schedule them all. • Set your own lunch break. When lunch starts, the countdown pauses, and that time doesn't count toward your hours. • Came in early, leaving early, working overtime, or want to time a day you weren't scheduled?
