It seems that those who do wear a pocket watch do not wear it to tell the time but to show off their watch chain and fob. I used to wear a watch chain but these days try to keep Black Tie as simple and elegant as possible so pare down the accessories as much as I can.
I agree with Steve.
At a formal event, unless you are an organizer, why do you need a timepiece? The presence of one sort of indicates there are other things you have to do instead of being in the moment of the formal event.
