Actually Pocket Watch. But the glorious leader Jim Pickens is fine too, I guess.

It's a tragedy that the advent of smartphones with big screens made cellphones start getting bigger again right before they shrunk small enough to fit in the pocket watch pocket.

How fucking tiny is your pocket watch? Also, you have a fucking pocket watch??

I never saw a pocket watch so small to fit in that micropocket.

The pockets have gotten smaller as people stopped using them for watches. Kept out of tradition, and for whatever one might use them for today.

That said, there are plenty of pocket watches made today that are around 45mm across. That size will fit easily in the watch pocket I have on my jeans at the moment.
