The watch was operating normally. It

 03:20 earlier and was now showing a time a little past 04:20. She recalled that he searched the area for about an hour, so the flow of time seemed to be correct. Exactly what happened while she was unconscious? She couldn’t get used to the scenery around the fire, which was somewhat visible from the flickering light from the fire.
