Sure you can, if you don't mind losing it. A couple weeks ago I lost a very nice little knife that I was wearing in my hose top; the garter broke without my noticing it in time.




I think a short fob is intended mainly just to give you a good grip on the watch, and elaborations on it are mainly decorations.

My father had a gold watch and chain and a gold (plated) pen knife which he used to anchor the remote end of the chain in an opposite waistcoat pocket. The watch did not survive him but I have the chain and knife.
