You have to look at this from the perspective of someone who's jumpy, maybe socially anxious, and concerned about unexpected things. Belts are less noticeable than watches, and less advertised as personality statements, so this possibly nervous stranger would be more prepared to hear something about their watch than their belt.
The point here is that you don't know if they're a loud-and-in-charge extrovert or a shy high-anxiety introvert until you talk to them.
