 My old grandfather's Timex. Scuffed and scratched, and I forgot to take it off before I washed the dishes. Such is the result. Cranked up contrast, decreased intensity to show the sweep of the second hand.

It's a good idea for the shot, but it seems that the white balance is off?

I find the pinkish hue is off-putting, and the focus is very soft.

Too fuzzy, the water inside could be more interesting if the focus was there, and the pinkish coloring doesn't compliment the image.

not enough contrast in the image and maybe a tighter crop would have had more impact.

The color and contrast in this one seem a bit flat to me. I would have boosted saturation and/or contrast a bit.

I'm sorry about your watch. There are lots of watch faces here proving that the exposure was two seconds. The color tone of this one detracts from it.
