I suggest inserting it into your rectum.

The regenerative powers of the lower intestines will slowly repair the watch, akin to nanobots from science fiction literature.

How does a solar powered watch work when most of the time it's underneath your sleeve?

Seriously, have you tried pushing the crown in fully. You're probably in chronograph setting.

The way your dad looked at it, this watch was your birthright. He'd be damned if any slopes gonna put their greasy yellow hands on his boy's birthright, so he hid it, in the one place he knew he could hide something: his ass. Five long years, he wore this watch up his ass. Then when he died of dysentery, he gave me the watch. I hid this uncomfortable piece of metal up my ass for two years. Then, after seven years, I was sent home to my family. And now, little man, I give the watch to you.

That is the unhappiest looking watch I've ever seen. Maybe try telling it a few jokes, or give it a few compliments, anything to cheer it up a little.

The crushing walls of the powerful sphincter would surely destroy a mans timepiece.... or would they?
