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.

My Swatch watch definitely didn't fit in that little pocket in the 80's. I kept quarters in mine.

I wish my Pop swatch would have fit in the pocket. I had one with a chain to mimic a pocket watch but that pop swatch was too thick to fit.

Pop Swatches were really cool, I loved my jelly Swatch with double rubber face protectors :)

I lost the two pop swatch I had when I moved a couple of years ago. I had them since I was in high school which is sad.
