i have to go with @Canuck, wearing a pocket watch is no problem. One just needs to reach that stage where age induced good sense takes over and you wear jeans for comfort rather than to show off your butt.
but... being a skinny guy, my wrist watches to tend towards the older stuff. The 50s, 40s and even the 30s can provide a lot of nice stuff for the skinny wrist.
you just need to give up that modern stuff!
You still have a butt?!?!
I’m 58, so not totally over the hill. My wrist is only about 7 1/4 inches and pretty bony. I do get an annual medical so I can ask, but I guess it’s not that easy to diagnose without investigation and I assume not related to the mild arthritis I have in my left thumb as I get no discomfort any other time.
I did try a leather deployment on the seamaster diver but I think I chose one that was too thick as it didn’t mould to my wrist closely.
I’ll take another look on the watch obsession site as they seem to have a good selection.
I bought a Nomos Tangente which is smaller and has turned down lugs and I put a suede strap on that. It’s ok but I don’t want it as my only watch.
I haven’t had a titanium watch for a while but it’s a definite idea.
Thanks a lot

Not quite casual enough for a jeans day though.

Thank the lord I'm too old to worry about what to wear😀
I only posses shorts and t shirts these days and this is the watch I wore today
Is wearing a pocket watch with anything other than a waistcoat practical?
I recall my brother in law wearing a pocket watch on the end of a leather kind of lace with his jeans years ago, and seeing him fish it out of his jeans pocket was painful. We did wear our jeans much tighter then. I could try this as I have one that I was given as a gift for being Best Man once, so I will give it a go.
Thanks,
Tim
Easily so, I often carry a 16s Hamilton. Many brands of jeans have watch pockets but the sizes vary. I have found that Wranglers have some of the most usable watch pockets while Levi's are nearly useless for anything larger than a 12s.
Stretch bands...trust me.
I'm in the same boat, most bands don't feel right, except a stretch band.
Roger that...for multiple pocket watches [more than two], I recommend utilizing pocket watch holsters.
