The most common way to refer to this is to simply say watch. This term will cover any type of watch that you wear. But you can also get more specific acording to what type of watch you are wearing. A wrist watch is specifically the one that you wear on your wrist since there is also poket watches etc etc. You can also use the term digital watch if it's the type of watch that says the time with numbers and doesn't look like a small clock. You can also use the term smart watch if your watch can sync to your phone, display text messages from your phone etc etc.
A small clock that is warn on the wrist of a person is called a 'wrist watch'. You may also simply call it a 'watch' without preceding it the noun 'wrist'. Calling it a 'wrist watch' immediately identifies it as an item that is warn on the 'wrist'. Since the word 'watch' functions both as a noun and a verb, excluding the noun 'wrist' may confuse it with the verb function, especially if there is no picture accompanying the word.
So you may say:
He is wearing a very expensive watch.
or
We have brand new men's watches on sale.
手首につける小さい時計のことは、'wrist watch' と呼ばれます。'wrist' をつけずに 'watch' とだけ言うこともできます。 'wrist watch' と言えば、手首につける物だとすぐに分かります。'watch' は、名詞と動詞の両方の働きがあるので、'wrist' をつけないと、特に写真などがない場合は、'watch' を動詞と勘違いされるかもしれません。
例文
He is wearing a very expensive watch.
（彼はとても高い腕時計をつけている）
We have brand new men's watches on sale.
（新品の男性用時計がセール中です）
The best way to describe a clock warn on the wrist is a watch. It is clear what it is. A watch is worn on the wrist, now in modern times. In the past there were watches that were kept in the pocket. So if you would like to be specific you can say a wrist watch or a pocket watch. Watches aren't so common anymore because people have the time on their cell phones. But we do not have watches on our phones we have clocks. They are used more nowadays to be stylish. So sometimes people may buy a watch bracelet which is very decorative, maybe god or silver with a design on it.

The two nounds you see above are words we would use to describe a small clock we wear on our wrist. Both have the same meaning and are used to describe this piece of jewelry. There are many different watches, but not all are worn on our wrist. For example if you have a watch that is attached to a chain that you keep in your pocket you would call that a pocket watch.
The common name for this item is 'watch' - specifically, a 'wristwatch'. There is another type of watch which was popular in the olden days which was the 'pocket-watch'.
Eg. 'The Lord of the manor never left home without his pocket-watch and his spectacles.'
Eg. I always wear my wach on my left hand.'
The most common and simple way to refer to this is 'watch'. Of course there are different types of watch, such as digital or analogue.
A digital watch is one where the time is shown in numbers (12:45)
An analogue watchis one where the numbers 1-12 are around the watch face and the hands (sticks) point to each number as time goes on.

A small clock that is worn around someone's wrist is called a wristwatch.
We call a clack sometimes a 'watch' because we 'watch' (look at ) the time.
Remember that wrist + watch is written as if it is one word, so together as 'wristwatch'.
e.g. 'I have to wind my mechanical wristwatch every night before going to bed'.
wristwatches can be three types:
mechanical (no battery) eg has to be turned each day in order to work
automatic (no battery) but turns on its own as you move to function
quartz- the wristwatch uses a battery to make the movement go.
