Or does this go back to it should be "shop:jewelry=watches" or "shop=jewelry + jewelry=watches " problem?

If so, then lets try to decide on a flat or categorized system that can handle new additions without a lot of hemming and hawing every time a new shop type is suggested. There will always be outliers or item specific shops that would make a flat system have a plethora of tags.



If that is so then things like butcher, greengrocer would be
shop=food
food = meat, fruit and vegetables etc

I don't mind either way .. but you and OSM should be consistent.

FYI: Shops selling watches can still be found in Thailand although most are probably sold in the watch department of the bigger department stores.

            I did not find anything on the Map Features regarding
            shop selling watches, what is quite common both in Europe
and South America (at least).

        Watches came out of use when people got mobile phones. The only 
remaining
        reason to wear watches is to show off. That's why all jewelries sell
        watches, and you'll hardly find any shop that sells nothing but watches.


    I tried, briefly, using my cell phone instead of a watch, and
    found it less convenient to pull out my phone to check the time,
    versus glancing at my wrist. It is still common to see people
    wearing watches. I now wear a smartwatch, meaning that I can
    check who called or texted me without having to pull out and
    unlock my phone.
