      It’s a tragedy that the advent of smartphones with big screens made cellphones start getting bigger again right before they shrunk small enough to fit in the pocket watch pocket.

        The pockets have gotten smaller as people stopped using them for watches. Kept out of tradition, and for whatever one might use them for today.

        That said, there are plenty of pocket watches made today that are around 45mm across. That size will fit easily in the watch pocket I have on my jeans at the moment.
