About the watch symbol
On a smartphone or computer, this symbol appears in a time-related menu or notification to represent a wristwatch or the act of setting a timer or alarm. It is a pictographic rendering of a traditional analog watch, with a circular face and a band, encoded as a technical symbol in the Miscellaneous Technical block.
