My suggestion is: try to finish all sections within 30 mins when you practice. After you have finished a section, check the clock and quickly decide your review strategy for those questions that you feel uncertain based on how much time you have left . You probably will need a watch when you encounter a time-eater question, but not necessarily if you quickly decide to skip it.

If you do use a clock, make sure it can help you to better manage the timing, rather than being a distraction.

If one takes enough practice tests, he develops an "internal clock" that should assist in that area. What if you wear a watch and the battery goes dead during the test?

It's just better to learn to navigate the test without one. But I am in no way suggesting that people eschew watches altogether. I just think it is best to rely on them as little as possible.
