I would like to set the Linux console such that it shows the current time always in console's upper right corner. Is that possible to do? Or is it wise to do if one can never be sure if the cursor is updating time or reading input? I know the command watch but as I tried, it cleared the whole screen instead just showing the time.
Can I see always time in console?

Sure, you can setup a screen or tmux hardline.Example using screen: http://blog.boreas.ro/2008/03/gnu-screen-for-win.htmlExample using tmux:tmux and screen are awesome - you should learn how to use them.
