So why the watch?

Artiste:
Never enough time to look at each other neither ! ?

Ennis is fitting the watch to his wrist when Jack ignores that and thrusts his hand out.  Ennis says he and Alma will be getting married in (OH God, I can't remember the month, time to watch the movie again), and Jack ignores that.

Good points Clarissa. It was November when Ennis and Alma got hitched.

LauraGigs:
It seems that the only other prominent timepiece in the film, Chowhound, is the clock on the desk in Jack's boyhood room.  (That was about as far from the end of the film as the tossed watch is to the beginning of the film.)

Appropriately, it's old, dusty and stopped.   :-\

Artiste:
But Ennis did not need a watch to remind himself to marry Alma, right ?

Or was it for him to think of maybe not marrying her, but stay with Jack or marrying Jack ??

Marina:
I noticed the watch too - time is fleeting, never enough time, their time on the mountain was all too short, and Ennis' regret of it.  Appreciate the time you have with the one you love.  :)  Of all things, Aguirre gave Ennis time with Jack.  So sad.  :(
