Ideas to get my girlfriend to wear a watch?

Sounds to me like she just indulged you, so be careful; baby-steps, my friend. But otherwise, great news!

Well I bought her a watch, it was her suggestion but she seemed a little uncomfortable wearing it at first, and as you said jacko, she says to take it one day at a time. She's going to wear it whenever she wants but only around the house. I joked that either she'll love wearing watches, or if we ever break up she'll say her ex had a really weird fetish! (I've explained while rare, it's not nearly as weird or freaky as some fetishes out there, plus I'm not interested in using the watch as a sex toy or anything, just her wearing it is good enough for me!).

For what it's worth, I bought her one of those large faced watches with a white strap that have been in fashion for the last few years, just a cheap one from the supermarket (she insisted not to buy an expensive one as she'd only be wearing it in the house for me). She was happy enough for me to get a large metal one but in this supermarket none were particularly nice (either were elastic, or had an unappealing face) so I might wait a couple of months before buying another watch for her. She wore it all night yesterday which was really awesome.

Been out with her for six months so I think this will be a weird moment in our relationship, especially for her. So I'm keen not to push this fetish on her!

Sounds like you handled this well, my friend. Well done. Hope you'll both laugh at this on your 25th anniversary (hey... maybe she'll even want a watch for her anniversary present!)

It is definitely odd to bring up even though its a pretty "harmless" fetish. I told my g/f after we had been together for 3 yrs. She was like... huh... ok thats not bad at all. Over the years Ive bought her a white Ice Watch, large Guess B/F watch, Baby G, and a purple Ice watch. She has grown to like wearing the white and guess metal watches. She typically wears them now randomly when we go out. She told me one time she actually gets a lot of compliments on them. Every now and then when we are hot and heavy she will be like "do you see what I have on ?" Boy do I hehe.

Just let her go about it in her own time. In a while she might even enjoy it !
