Would be interested but the exposed glass face in your pocket is recipe for disaster.

P1MPBOT5000Actually, a watch on your wrist is much more exposed, as your arm swings around, so since I believe you would be fine. IMHO.

P1MPBOT5000Sapphire crystals are only scratchable by diamond (it may be possible to harden some metallic alloy to the point where it could wear down sapphire/ruby/corrundum, but if so I have never heard of it and it wouldn't be used for anything you might carry in your pocket), so the crystal would be safe in your pocket with anything you might put in there. The case would end up looking like crap after a few days in a pocket with your keys, though.
The thing is, people have carried around keys and change for as long as pocket watched have existed on this planet. The secret is to choose your accessories (for instance, this watch) to match your clothes. When pocket watches were in their hayday, people wore more clothing, like suits and vests, and the watch would be attached to a button hole and stored in a vest pocket made specifically for a pocket watch. These days you can still wear a vest, but if that isn't your thing most men's blue jeans have a small watch pocket on the right side. You can also find leather pocket watch holders that clip to your belt or can have a belt looped though them to give it a place to be safely carried. If none of the above are available to me, I will set aside a "safe" pocket for my watch and carry anything else that is metallic in another pocket.
When I'm out of options, I wear one of my wristwatches (which is actually what I normally do... I bust my pocket watch out when I want to feel special for a day).
