Newspaper accounts have him as having his hand firmly in his pocket. I don't see this. He's holding the left vertical margin -- of his coat -- with his left hand. He reaches in with his right hand -- up, just under his chin -- and readies the vertically-aligned murder weapon (a roast-carving knife - evidently) as he walks out of the field-of-view. It's a bit fast but I think you can follow the action in this gif ..http://i3.photobucket.com/Z_Bleecker_01.gif
So now what about this watch? It appears to go super-nova in catching (and reflecting) the ambient light. Can we discern anything remarkable in this flash reflection? Here's a couple of demo pics of badly over-exposed watches as scalped off eBay. We can see they respond admirably-well to glare-reduction and contrast-enhancement .. n'est-ce pas?

He's a white man of medium build with dark eyebrows. He was wearing a heavy, dark-coloured 3/4 length coat with round buttons on the cuffs & a light-coloured scarf tied at the back.
No - it's definitely a watch of some description. How is it - it disappear so completely in the intermediate frames?
This is a regular Patterson-Gimlin bit of surveillance video. Lots of little "pearls of disclosure 'n discovery".
What to make of the perp sporting his chronograph on the outside of his sleeve? Could it be a phone-watch or a spy-camera watch? Was it his intention to record his heinous commission?
Subject to closer review but a reasonable explanation for the disappearing watch (short of it falling off) would be .. that ... the perp is wearing a sweater under the coat and the watch is on top of the sweater sleeve and not the jacket sleeve. The jacket sleeve (tho) does ride up (and over) the watch - obscuring it wholly and completely from view.
I don't think it's a medical bracelet but I like your thinking. I don't think it's a Casio G-Force nor a Timex Ironman nor a Nixon Unit nor a Texas Instruments. I don't see any matching watches (vintage or otherwise) on eBay nor image search. The watch as pictured has a distinctive big square / little square lcd display portal. I'm pretty sure the big square / little square layout is a reliable find. HAL is indicating consistent pixel-level response on the optically-exotic lcd substrate as found filling interior of big square. HAL is also indicating the band appears bifurcated as he's detecting underlying fabric coloration peeking through at a spot a few centimeters up the band - as it were. HAL will attempt to output relevent mini-video demonstrating this. One can notice it in the outputs below.Think you are probably right about the watch over shirt sleeve Hal, unless it is some kind of medical bracelet..
