I think "quest'orogolio" should be the correct answer, and questo orologio is not OK. Anyone to confirm?
Piacere means "to be pleasing" so "Non piaccio questo orologio" would be sort of like "I am not pleasing, this watch".
So you have to switch it around and say "It's pleasing to me, this watch", which is "Piace a me quest'orologio".
And of course "a me" => "mi" so the most natural translation is "Mi piace quest'orologio".
Having said that, this stupid question doesn't like the abbreviation "quest'orologio" so you have to write "questo orologio".
