Most of the time dungeons aren't big enough to take a significant amount of time. And if the dungeons are big enough then I generally estimate the amount of hours they are in there.

If you're in a relatively small complex with no more than a 5-10 rooms just track by rounds. If your PC's are moving through a wilderness setting like a cavern system with winding tunnels, areas to climb, etc then you should track it by distance. I ususally make a flow chart using squares for encounters or significant obstacles (skill check areas) and use lines for tunnels/trails/rivers and note the distance and time it takes to travel it beforehand.
