I think you'll find upon a rewatch of the actual film, McGann never wears the pocket watch. Remember, it's one of the possessions of the Seventh Doctor that's in the bag Chang Lee steals. Eight only gets it in the last exterior scene of the movie, and he's not wearing it in that last scene inside the TARDIS. It's not a constant presence in comics, either, so it's hard to make an in-universe case for the pocket watch.
