If you have an appointment it should be in the calendar and notify
you when it's relevant.
Sure.. when some guy pokes into my office and says that he wants to
meet with me in 10 minutes. That's not an event I would likely put
into my calendar as an appointment since the time is too short. So
I would simply look at the clock.
And not everyone is disciplined enough to put things on an
appointment. I for instance never do that since as a sysadmin the
picture changes on what is happening on a day to day basis quite
frequently.
Also lastly, we have clocks in the real world sitting on a wall so
clearly seeing a clock "at a glance" is an acceptable behavior
anywhere.
