Prime with extension tubes and proper manual focus capability, whilst using the focus assist zoom or at a minimum focus peaking.
I can almost guarantee that buying the dedicated macro lens will result in loads of photos where it focuses on the wrong area of the watch. That’s negated a little by the necessary use of a tripod and smaller aperture, but it will still be clear where the point of focus is, and where it was intended.
Depth of field becomes incredibly shallow the closer you get.

So of you wanted to take photos of watches and their movements using a Sony a6000, what would your first choice solution be? (Ignoring cost at the moment).
