If he does wear one. (If not, just pretend that he does in this entry :P)
I cannot think that Seto would buy any brand watch in market (watches shop, jewelry shop or wherever you can buy a watch). If he does want a watch for himself, he would order/have his own company do a custom-made (with technology include) one.
Note: wrist watches can be put in 2 kinds; analog and digital. I don't know digital pocket watches exist or not.
Also most of expensive watches are very high cost with these factors* (most effective -> less effective)
1. Handmade analog watch. Most effective factor, since anything handmade = high price. See women handmade underwear, most of them are made by silk and very expensive brand ones provide handmade undergarments.
2. Valuable material/jewelry involve. Rolex mostly made by gold and diamonds. Material and jewelry are already expensive themselves. Turning them to watches? Yes, include labor cost and style designation as well.
3. Style. Designation takes cost too.
4. Functional. Cellphone wrist watches exist. Of course, higher price than normal watches.
*I do not include brands. Since it's somewhat out of common logic. Like Sony TV VS. LG or Samsung TV in same functional.
Those factors provide on most of watches I had seen in World Watches Festivals. Just only the handmade with a couple men (made with diamond) hitting bell with hammer every hour in the middle of watch cost more than 1,000,000 USD. And it can just do that.
With that I can't see Seto would waste his money on something like that.
So, if he got the custom-made, what would it look like? What it can do?
1. Style. I do have some designs in my head already. I'll draw them out when I have time. (Still working anyway -_-;) Well, with BEWD included :P Like BEWD body embraced watch body. Or having 2 BEWDs in both sides of chain.
2. Holographic. Why not? And watch doesn't must be digital to involve with holographic. And it can be useful with GPS /City map navigator. Or isn't it cool to show holographic of sky or universe? (That last one look feminine for me) Or just worldwide time for every timezones?
3. Material/Jewelry. Platinum + sapphire for BEWD's eyes? Stainless steel (most fairly price watches are made with this) is too cheap. I don't think gold suit for Seto as well. And since platinum cost > gold (in my country), yes, platinum is also right color for BEWD body as well.
4. Timezone adjustment module. For CEO who travels around the world, contacts and has meeting with people out of Japan, timezone adjustment is very useful. Just select which timezone you want to change into and click when you arrive the country and it will adjust itself to local time. Easy to use and great for the time important person. (Digital > analog for this function. Analog cannot move its hands around to the right timezone itself.)
5. Communication module. Not necessary useful as cellphone. Somewhat like his KC pin on trench coat? With tiny camera and holographic so he and Mokuba can see each other's face when they talk?
ETA: This rant bases on Seto wants to buy or selects watch for himself.
Also I forgot about silver. Silver is not suitable for watches. It's valuable, yes, but still cheaper than gold and the most important; silver is easily blacken. It can oxide with sweat and moisture.
