Study timekeeper? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

watch

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'study' is the first definition.
(I know that watch is a more specific form of check)

'timekeeper?' is the second definition.
(I know that watch is a type of timekeeper)

(Other definitions for watch that I've seen before include "Observe - timepiece" , "Keep under observation" , "Observe - guard" , "View" , "Look at attentively" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
