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.

That is a good point. He's known for it in publicity photos, but it barely appears in the movie itself. I haven't read enough of his comics and books to say much about the watch there, though. Apparently, it has no presence there, either. Note my new Eight design.
