Answer

It is understandable, but clumsy.

'I didn't look at my watch, and was late for the meeting' is better
or
'I didn't check my watch, and missed the meeting'.

Answer

You can also use the expression  "watch the time", in which 'watch' is a verb. 
For example - I wasn't watching the time so I was late.

Answer

You could also say, "I forgot to keep an eye on the clock, and I missed my meeting"
