In a sentence

時計(とけい)watchしてる?wearing

Are you wearing a watch?

How it works

時計(とけい) (watch) sits bare as the object — the particle is dropped in casual speech. The verb する (to do) appears as してる (is wearing), the contracted casual progressive (full form している (is doing)), which describes an ongoing state — here "wearing." The rising tone makes it a question: "Are you wearing a watch?"
