That's been asked before. It would require constant refreshes to the screen (it takes almost a second to refresh each time) in order to keep the time accurate, which would totally kill your battery life. Even if you don't display seconds, just minutes, it would still require a lot of extra refreshes that wouldn't normally be necessary.
The whole idea behind eInk is that you can put something on the screen, leave it alone, and the display won't draw any more power. Obviously page turns are important, but the more things you start throwing into the UI that require screen updates, the worse you kill the battery life. That kind of defeats the point of eInk from a power savings perspective.
I think finding your watch would be a better option.
