The SmartWatch (c) is a Dallas DS1215 or DS1216 mounted in a 16-pin socket which 
you typically place in the disk controller and then mount the disk ROM in the 
SmartWatch socket.
If that is what you have, I can send you two commands for OS-9 that one reads 
the watch at selected intervals and two sets the clock. It makes more sense to 
use clock2_soft and then read the watch at say 5 minute intervals than to 
constantly read the watch. The overhead is significantly reduced.
