timing cooking hardboiled seagull eggs
as an approximate compass, if it has an hour hand (bisect the angle between the hour hand and noon, that's north or south, depending on your latitude, unless you're in the tropics where this doesn't work)
as a heliograph to flash signals to passing ships
if there's a date magnifier, you can use it to light fires
the engraving on the back may help identify your sun-bleached bones ("So, this poor devil was named WATER RESISTANT")
