  If you're asking a person about the time, commonly it would be:"Do you have the time?"

  Commonly, if a person asks: "Do you have a watch?",  the person is asking about that piece of article that tells the time. But this question would give the idea that he or she would be asking for the time itself. This is how the conversation would go:

person A: Do you have a watch?

person B: Yes I have.

Person A: What time is it?

Person B: It's quarter past 5. (5:15)
