What watch pockets? Are you talking about the small, squarish pocket, usually on the right hand side? My wife refers to them as coin pockets. But…

I’m off enough to remember when jeans didn’t have those. They were added in the 80s, when HIV was fairly new, and they were designed to put condoms in. I remember the ads.

I don’t know but I have a Two-Face style coin I keep in there for making decisions like where to eat when I don’t really care about the outcome, yet can’t seem to make a decision. I would probably lose it if I put it in my other pockets.
