It's impractical to place a watch in a warm interior pocket because
getting it out would require too much unzipping and fumbling. What I do
is put it in an exterior jacket pocket high on my chest, where it's
least likely to get banged when I wipe out. I can take it out for a
glance fairly easily, but I'm concerned that exposure to the cold (the
outer pocket is not insulated) may eventually damage it.

I use a cheap $6 digital watch with the straps torn off.

I can never wear a wris****ch; I'm allergic to the metal. I just put
my watch in my pocket. One of the straps came off after awhile; I
later removed the other strap myself.

Since it's supposed to be waterproof anyway, I just put it in my front
coat pocket. Worked fine, even though it was snowing/raining when I
was at Boreal last Friday. Of course I have to remove my right glove
to tell the time.
