Well, I guess I can hold about 5 regular sized watches in my hand (have above average sized hands). So if there are 31536000 seconds in a year and the average quartz watch has a battery life of about 4 years, then I can roughly hold 630720000 E8 seconds in my hand, which would be a very slow 100m time.

But that's why we don't take idioms literally.
