For most of my life only my blue jeans had a watch pocket and I seldom used it. Now, the off shore manufactures put them in most of the casual pants I buy. A habit of a lifetime has been to find my keys in the bottom of my pocket. I often search all around before it occurs to check the watch pocket. This is so irritating that I cut the watch pockets out.
Does anyone think watch pockets are useful?

I carry my Zippo in it, for easy access when starting fires in my woodstove or outside. At one time I actually carried a pocket watch, but it grew hard to find one which actually kept accurate time.

I had to stand up and check.
My Rustler jeans from Walmart don't have a watch pocket.

I use it for a 1/4 inch or 1/2 inch wide tape measure, depending on size of the pocket.

Is that what that pocket is for in my jeans? I thought you mis typed the title of this thread and meant pocket watches.

Typically a small pocket knife lives there, or folding utility knife if at work. They are perfect for a Zippo too .

Thats where I put my coins when I get change. This keeps it from mixing with the $2.05 that I carry in my pocket. Five of each coin.
Yeah I know my wife says Im crazy but thats the way I do it.

When I was a kid my jeans had those pockets. My grandfather said they were for a pocket watch. I've thought that was their original intent ever since.
