I would just keep the timestamp and the title separated so what do you think about that instead? Watch every Xs $timestamp $head_title
That works. I like having the title immediately above the table.
The other option that came to mind would be to place the time information after the table display while leaving the title before it. On an output that requires more vertical space than is available in the terminal one would no longer have to scroll up to confirm last execution time. If doing this I'd probably get rid of any logic that attempts to center the time information on the table and simply leave it left-aligned.
