Watches in boot camp? Rumors?

Yes and no.

If you came to bootcamp with a watch you are permitted to wear it. But if you didn't and you're stuck at boot eventually wanting a watch, you aren't permitted to buy and wear one unless you have a collar device. I was a YN of my division so I was given a crappy Casio watch by my RDC, but eventually bought a decent one at the NEX once we were given a little more freedom. But typically yes, only with collar devices. It depends what RDC is processing you. While I was getting processed, the Petty Officer didn't make some of the females take off their watches when they sent their clothes and items home.
