    I think it's about 'time' you gave them back.

              I thought that "orologi" can refer to "wristwatches," so why isn't "wristwatches" acceptable to "watches?" Is there a better way to say "wristwatch?"

                yes, it may refer to wristwatches too. However the "direct" translation of wristwatch is "orologio da polso" (quite literal)

                    Because the definite article is preceding a masculine plural possessive adjective (miei) that doesn't begin with a vowel. If there was no possessive adjective it would be "gli orologi".

                      When do you use 'dove' and when 'dov'e (with accent)?

                        I hope these two examples will clarify things:

                        • Dove sono le mie macchine? = Where are my cars?
                        • Dov'è la mia macchina? = Where is my car? ( "Dov'è" is a contraction of "Dove + è" )
