Yes
When the soil pulls away (contracts from lack of moisture) from the container then it will be time for me to water. This is what works for me. Also my plants have been in the container for at least 60 days..so the container is filled with roots to utilize the water and it is hard to overwater this way .
Hint/hack...put a drop or less of dish detergent in your water so the water breaks the surface tension of the soil and does not run out the sides.....water sloooow.
Note the distance from the sides of the container below.
