First of all, you should probably read this guide to making very tiny prims. Even at their smallest size, non-tortured prims are too big for most pieces of jewelry (though I'd imagine this isn't such a problem in men's jewelry).
Second of all, you should get a posing stand. I know some are available for free in Yadni's Junkyard. This will allow you to build a watch around your avatar's wrist while your avatar holds still. Third, if you haven't already, you should visit the Ivory Tower Library of Primitives. It's a tutorial on building, and it's very thorough. It gives you notecards explaining things, so I just kept all the notecards after reading them, put them in a folder, and referred to them when I needed help on something specific. Fourth, I know there are scripts that you can use to make watches that actually tell time, though I don't know where to get them. You could also always try to code one yourself, of course. Fifth, I recommend just experimenting and expanding your vocabulary of shapes. One of the most helpful things in learning to build is actually building. If you've got a watch that you like, you might also consider looking at it in editing mode, to see how it's been put together. _____________________
