Thank you Gents for the quick reply. A couple things:

- i only have the kit lens that came with the camera. 12-42

-just searched for the lenses mentioned, $400+ is definitely out of budget right now. I could do maybe $200-250, open to buying second hand.

once again thank you

Try using the kit lens before you spend money on a macro lens. Of course, it depends on the sizes of the watches, whether you are shooting the entire watch, just the face, or just the movement, but see if the kit lens will do the job. The challenge will be the lighting regardless of which lens is on the camera.  If it is just for the web you may not need a really top notch lens.
