That's a lot of Niners watches. Apparently the Kansas City link Chiefs were all business arriving at the game. And then there was the Halftime Show where Usher brought link down on the house on roller skates!. And while he link too wasn't wearing a watch he took time-telling to the next level with a massive clock on the very stage he was signing and dancing upon. So I guess you could call this a watch and clock spotting.
