if it weren't for the title, i'd have no idea what the subject of this photo is supposed to be.

oh yes , that is minimal... probably a little too minimal, or maybe the bridge just takes your eye... great idea though

The lighting on the left side of the image is creating a distinct line on the edge of the watch and band. This is very distracting from the image overall. Watch face is too blurry and the lettering looks odd as it has lines and background noise in or near it.

this is the case when the subject is perhaps too small - I wold not notice it if not for the title, and nothing in the photo leads towards it

Quite an interesting watch with a lot going on here. I might have tried a different angle: (turned the watch slightly to right or left) 1. So it didn't appear so calculated, the crop is tight and the watch face being square gives a boxed in feeling. 2. With a different angle there would be more depth to to the shot and we might be able to pull more detail from the stones on the face.

Also I might have used more light, I don't have a lightbox or tent so I would have rigged a set up with a white sheet and shinned lots of light from both sides through the sheet on to the watch in order to use a small f/stop to obtain focus through the whole shot.

It's a little tilted and a tad out of focus

But I'm sure you know that by now
