Check the model and the person who's wearing it. If he/she seems approachable and I like the watch, I'll compliment him/her with a casual "nice watch".

It's almost never safe to say anything. In most large cities in the western world these days, it is unsafe to leave the house with anything of value strapped to your wrist. Calling someone out in this way will most likely make them uncomfortable.

Look at it, make a comment if the other person seems nice and the place is right. Otherwise, ignore it.

when I happen to comment on a watch, it isn’t out of the blue. A non verbal; like catching them wrist checking me or at a party etc. Just running up to a guy in a crowd or dark alley way saying nice Rolex could get awkward lol
