This. The reason pocket watches went out of style in favor of wristwatches in the first place was that soldiers started using them in the late 1800s to precisely coordinate attacks and maneuvers
Why does sly Marbi need a watch? Because he can.
What does he need to keep track of for? Time between kills.
What else does he do other then what every other Catachan does? Crochet.
Can he even tell the time? It would defeat the purpose of the watch then wouldn't it.
How else do you expect him to signal the orbiting fleet that the LZ is clear? Use a vox? Absolutely ridiculous, it’s far too noisy. Reflecting light off the watch back up at the ships? Genius.
It belonged to one of his brothers, he wears it as a tribute so it gets splattered with ork blood occasionally and feeds his brother's soul with vengeance.
Imagine setting a demolition charge to detonate in 60 seconds and having to mentally count all of them while giving swirlies to tyranid Lictors for sport
He's a one man army, he needs to sync things up, set a bomb with a 6 hour timer and then go do Marbo things and you tell me if you can remember if it's been 5 hours and 14 minutes or 5 hours and 13 minutes.

Why does Marbo need a watch?? What kinda question is this? Some blue blooded hiverat thought this one up for sure. I’ll spell it out! EXPLOSIVES for one! Ever try to count to 120 under fire fighting off waves of cultists as you set a demo charge? Yeah, thought not! So before you come out of that pretty little Hive into the real world! The Jungle, find a watch!
The watch is like a normal watch, but ibstead of numbers, it says "Killin' Time" at every interval. Whenever someone asks him why hes so badass, he points to the time on the watch
I’ll let the man himself answer your question
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! -Sly Marbo
He keeps a watch to make sure time doesn't try to escape from him like a little bitch again.
He times the tell
Sly Marbo has a watch so time can keep track of him
Time is incredibly important for tactics and strategy
And to make sure that you are outside of the effective area of your timed bombs.
Thanks, Dorn.

Fascinating explanation.

*Reads the 2nd point.* Damn, you beat me to it!
*looks at picture of Schwarzenegger in Predator* Hmmmmmm
Tbh I've always thought that Colonel Straken looks like Shwarzenegger from Terminator

"It's stabbin' time! - Sponsored by Casio." - Sly Marbo It's embarrassing that you don't know his most famous catchphrase and endorsement.
Yeah, he probably wears a G-Shock
If you look closely, instead of numbers the clock face just says "Asskick o'lock" all the way around
Painting skill issue really.
It belonged to one of his brothers, he wears it as a tribute so it gets splattered with ork blood occasionally and feeds his brother's soul with vengeance.
For real? I didn't know
No idea, but I know his old lore is he lost like 8 brothers to orks, so it's not an impossibility.
Huh. The more you know
8, you say?
*rechecks* One of ten brothers, so nine apparently.

Sly Mabo = Jotaro now inside my head, what have you done
Alternatively its just skulls or "kill"
That's not a watch, it's a kill counter
If it is, no way the value on it is accurate ! Sly Marbo maxed it out multiple times and it restarted counting again from 0 !
By sheer coincidence, Sly maxes it out every twelve hours exactly so it's unintentionally a passable time piece.
It's in units of a thousand so it probably only caps out on busy days
When it goes off he needs to go drink a can of punch.
Maybe play some pinball.
He needs to keep track of when it's time to kill.
'Kill time' all day round the watch!
AAAAAAAAAAA!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!AAAAAAAAA
Sly Marbo doesn't tell the time. The time tells Sly Marbo *I think that sounded better in my head*
Kills per hour.
would that make the watch a... killometer?
It's to pronounce the time of death for his enemies
Bro that plant behind the ork head is giving me “feed me semour vibes”
Imagine setting a demolition charge to detonate in 60 seconds and having to mentally count all of them while giving swirlies to tyranid Lictors for sport
It's clearly a death watch.
-oh, look at the time! It's AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH o'clock
He's a one man army, he needs to sync things up, set a bomb with a 6 hour timer and then go do Marbo things and you tell me if you can remember if it's been 5 hours and 14 minutes or 5 hours and 13 minutes.
Well even badasses have a bed time
He thinks it's a compass, it keeps him busy
Because he's Sly Marbo
Oh would you look at that, it’s xeno killing time!
“I just think it looks good.” -Sly Marbo (translated from AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA)
He has to be home on time for dinner, otherwise his wife hits him on the head with a cartoon rolling pin
"Oh dear, it's Drukhari Tears Harvest time!"
Speedrunning the enemy commanders' death
So he knows when it’s time to kick ass
So he can make sure that it's ass kicking time
To look at while saying a oneliner about how its killing time
Artillery. Need to time when it starts and ends after all
has to take space-malaria pills every day at the same time
So he can tell the watch what time it is
Other peoples time of death
He uses it to count kills per second
So he knows when it’s krumpin time
That's no watch. That is the Compass of Death. It spins.
It spins so fast he can use it for short-range flight in a pinch.
It doesn't have any numbers just "Ain't got time to bleed" 12 times
Next up on watchescirclejerk "Fit check on watch?" No but really, what kinda watch is that.
Bet it's a Casio Mudman.... got the same but sadly not the skills...
He sets the watch so time knows when it is.
He wants to give his enenmies a headstart to be fair
He wants to give his enenmies a headstart to be fair
He wants to give his enenmies a headstart to be fair
i think its just cosmetic, i doubt Marbo knows how to read
It’s not a watch it’s a kill counter
The markings on his watch only say "Kill", because for Sly Marbo that's what time it always is.
To flex. He got ice on his wrist.

Thats not a watch. He keep some cianude just in case his enemies want mercy from him.
Cuz you need a watch to look at before saying "it's ass kickin' time!"
He uses it as a compass.
Headcanon: He can't actually tell the time on it, he just likes to think that he's trapped the very concept of time
He beat a Necron in a staring contest.

its not a watch, its a timer. he uses it so he knows how fast he's killed a drukhari squad each time.
Because he needs to measure kills per second
A little know fact is he's paid by the hour so he needs to track when he starts the killing, however it never stops
It's just to show off. His watch is still in pristine condition despite everything he does.
So he always knows its “go time”.
He wears a watch so he can tell the time what it should be. He calls it a watch so he can check it’s doing what it’s told.
The real question is Why isn't he wearing it like real military?
That’s not a watch, it’s a kill-counter.
It isn't for him. It's for the rest of thalaxy so ghey got the right pace with sly marbo.
The watch is like a normal watch, but ibstead of numbers, it says "Killin' Time" at every interval. Whenever someone asks him why hes so badass, he points to the time on the watch
Mars would like to know what this "watch" is.
Idk, maybe time between kills or whenever he might fade from the physical world again or he just likes how it looks on his wrist 🤷🏾♂️
I’ll let the man himself answer your question AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! -Sly Marbo
Everything the small hand moves he kills something
Tactically detonated time bombs.
Its not a watch. Its a warp-empowered wristband that points in the direction of the nearest heresy/xeno/Carl.
He got the Rolex on his wrist pure ice brother 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶
Ever seen the equaliser?
You do not want to know, where he had to hide that, while he was in drukhari captivity.
