This is a pic of my watch. Cropped it a little, tilted about .5 degrees to the right, adjusted Levels, Contrast, Lighting, converted to B&W, scaled to size, and used very light Unsharp Mask. The original lighting was terrible since I have no clue how to get the WB right under non-daylight conditions, so Levels and B&W really helped me. :)
I adjusted the watch hands to be in an "appealing" position, so that's why the date is the 16th instead of the 15th, the date I actually took the shot.

I like that you didn't center this up. Perhaps getting the left edge of the watch face would have helped but all-in-all this is a good shot. You handled the lighting well, too.
Very strong effect achieved here. Very clear. Maybe a few too many hot spots and the band being directly behind the watch face disturbs the clarity. However, you might argue that the dof achieved is worth it.
The lighting really help to make this shot pop out at you. The white face is very vivid and stands out. Beautiful shadows and reflections on the face of the watch keeps your eyes on the photo. Great depth of field.
