- A wristwatch is a wrist item which may be equipped in the Accessories Slot. It may be purchased at Thessalia's Fine Clothes for 15 gp.
- WristWatch was founded as an outlet for the eccentric research of Atlanta optometrist Gareth L. Fankhouser, who measured various aspects of the wrist in relation to cup size on his female patients. Fankhouser collected over 800 photographs of wrists and breasts over a three year period, but never intended to publish his findings, for fear of rejection by the scientific community. However, due to increasing pressure from his subjects concerning the relevancy of such research during their eye exams, Fankhouser was forced to publish his research legitimately to avoid crippling legal action.
- In 1953, Jimmy stole a wristwatch and offered it to Benny Russell. Benny warned Jimmy that he would get in trouble one day for his actions. (DS9: "Far Beyond the Stars") According to the novelization, the watch that Jimmy stole was a Timex. Bernardo Calvera wore a wristwatch. (DS9: "Past Tense, Part I") In 2254, a female crew member aboard the USS Enterprise was wearing a wristwatch while off duty. (TOS: "The Cage" ) In 2265, Lee Kelso wore a wristwatch while on duty at the helm. (TOS: "Where No Man Has Gone Before" ) In 2267, Korob wore a wristwatch. (TOS: "Catspaw" )

However, due to increasing pressure from his subjects concerning the relevancy of such research during their eye exams, Fankhouser was forced to publish his research legitimately to avoid crippling legal action. His vehicle for this research was WristWatch. The first issue of the magazine featured a small sealed section of breast and wrist research pictures, and was self-published by Fankhouser but sold poorly. Renowned magazine researchers have put this down to a drab black and white wrist X-ray on the cover, a motif common to most of the subsequent issues. However, over the coming months Fankhouser began to see his magazine turn a profit. This was due to a developing loyal readership of adolescent males, who valued the subtle and inoffensive covers as well as the slow and methodical publishing of Fankhouser's research photographs.

(DS9: "Far Beyond the Stars") According to the novelization, the watch that Jimmy stole was a Timex. Bernardo Calvera wore a wristwatch. (DS9: "Past Tense, Part I") In 2254, a female crew member aboard the USS Enterprise was wearing a wristwatch while off duty. (TOS: "The Cage" ) In the first scene from TOS: "Where No Man Has Gone Before" , Kirk was scripted to be wearing a watch which he momentarily looked at. [1] However, no such watch appears in the final version of the scene. Kirk was again scripted to be wearing a wrist watch in the final draft script of TOS: "The Corbomite Maneuver" (dated 3 May 1966 ), in the episode's final scene. However, this reference to a watch wasn't included in the second revised final draft of the installment's teleplay (dated 20 May 1966) and is not shown on screen. In a scene from the first draft script of TOS: "The Enemy Within" , a duplicate of Kirk at one point looked at a wristwatch worn by Janice Rand. In a memo to John D.F. Black (dated 23 May 1966), Robert Justman pondered, "Does she wear a Timex or an Ingersol [sic]?" The second draft script for TOS: "The Man Trap" (then called "Damsel with a Dulcimer") included a scene in which Kirk advised someone called "Jim" to check his own wristwatch. In a memo of script notes Robert Justman sent John D.F. Black (on 2 June 1966 ), Justman remarked that he didn't think the line was necessary. In another memo of script notes, this one from Gene Roddenberry to episode writer George Clayton Johnson (also sent on 2 June 1966), Roddenberry advised, "We're not playing our people as wearing watches. But we can if you check with Robert J., give him time to have something appropriate and futuristic made up." In 2265, Lee Kelso wore a wristwatch while on duty at the helm. (TOS: "Where No Man Has Gone Before" ) In 2267, Korob wore a wristwatch. (TOS: "Catspaw" ) In 2364, Doctor Beverly Crusher wore a wristwatch while reviving Yareena in a transporter room aboard the USS Enterprise-D. (TNG: "Code of Honor" ) Vic Fontaine wore a wristwatch, as did Nog during the cracking of Frankie Eyes' safe. (DS9: "Badda-Bing, Badda-Bang")
