Q: Why is it so hard to find pocket watches in China?

I've searched everywhere and it's impossible. I did find the cheap junk and the fake Swiss ones which are magnified, but what about the real quality ones? Don't the Chinese like pocket watches?

They probably think it is too inconvenient to pull it out of your pocket. Also, you can't show it off like an expensive wristwatch, right?

zengpingjiang:

I want to have a watch, but personally I think table is a kind of decoration, so I'll choose the table wear in the hand, pocket watch put pocket really more troublesome, if use pocket watch and see no difference between mobile phone time.
