If you updated the youtube app but still can't see your 'time watched' statistics then you must enable the 'watch history' option from the settings. After enabling the watch history option, you may not be able to see your past statistics but from that day on wards you can see just how much time you spend on youtube.

I think this is a very cool feature that youtube has introduced. Other social media apps should also use this feature to reduce the overgrowing internet addiction. Personally, it really helped me to manage my time on YouTube and be much more productive.
