My internal clock is great, I am able to wake up when I need to, 5 mins before the alarm. I usually also know what time of day it is with no watch. I am always pretty close when I guess. I think it's because I haven't worn a watch since my teens. You just get used to telling the time other ways. I do use the clock on my phone to be sure of my guess though.
As for memory in terms of dates and appointments...I will remember dates that are important to me, but I am bad with birthdays. I also tend to remember appointments, though sometimes if I have a lot going on I may forget. I also lose track of how long ago it was that a particular event happened, but I usually place it in my mind within a mental structure of other events (like when I started working where I do, when I graduated, and other more relevant things that I don't forget), which helps me to know the when of things.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
