How did the term "watch" become associated with a wrist worn time piece?

No idea, but any formal documentation in my experience always says Men's wrist watch.

"The origin of the word "watch" is that it came from the Old English word woecce which meant "watchman", because it was used by town watchmen to keep track of their shifts."
