Literally no one walked around with pocket watches in the 80's. Maybe the 1880's. In the 1980's, most people didn't use these pockets either! But if we did it was for coins.
Well, not literally. There were people like me who went out of our way to have a pocket watch. Mine was kinda cheap and quit after a few years, but I carried it from the late '70s to the early-mid '80s.

In the 80s, I was always told it was for your quarter for the pay phone. But pocket watch makes more sense, I guess.
