If I use the Watch, in the new phase I may trigger again(I triggered previously to the Watch ) ability on Skid ? How about the response on Ursula and I get the one free evade from Finn ?

Its still the same round, so once per round abilities can only be used once per round.

Once per turn ability can be used again.

I am less sure about once per phase. The card says, "repeat that phase".

Using the watch on the investigator phase is something you normally do when you are desperate. Its normal ideal to use it on the Mythos phase. You get the most benefit this way.

Thank you ! In general I use it to skip Mythos, but might be valuable to repeat Investigating also.

I would have thought it would be more beneficial to use it to repeat the investigator phase. Since you are in effect skipping the enemy as well as the mythos phase. Although thinking about it a bit more, I think it's a bit more situational. If there are enemies engaged with you it might be beneficial to repeat the investigator phase. Whereas if there are no enemies, skipping the mythos phase would allow you to draw a card and gain a resource.

Plus skipping the mythos phase unexhausts all exhausted cards and allows you to trigger once per round abilities a second time. (as opposed to repeating the investigator phase).

I agree it really depends on enemies. That being said, outside of elites, you need to stay on top of enemies each turn to avoid being overrun. Most turns you end up cleaning most enemies as they come out.

I don't know the whole ruling, but there was a Matt Newman clarified at least this point. If you replay the Investigator Phase, you're investigators are still exhausted (flipped) because the Upkeep phase has not been triggered. This was not the intent of the card.

Quote

• When a phase is skipped, it is skipped in its entirety. Reactions to that phase beginning or ending cannot be triggered, because the phase does not ever begin or end. So if you use The Gold Pocket Watch to skip the Mythos phase with The Red-Gloved Man in play, The Red-Gloved Man is not discarded from play, because his Forced effect never triggers.

• Erratum: The FREE triggers on The Gold Pocket Watch should be REACTION triggers - FAQ v1.2, Jan 2018.

• Q: If I use the The Gold Pocket Watch to repeat the investigation phase, do I get 3 more actions, given actions reset in the upkeep phase? A: The "reset actions" step of the upkeep phase and the mini-cards are mostly there as a convenience in order to give players a way of tracking who has taken a turn and who has not. Generally, investigators have 3 actions to take whenever they take a turn, and each investigator takes one turn during the investigation phase. If a card effect grants you a new turn, either explicitly or in this case by allowing you to repeat the investigation phase, the investigators should be granted a full turn’s worth of actions once again. Likewise, if the upkeep phase is skipped, this doesn’t prevent the players from being able to take their turn during the next round.

Is this in response to my comments or unrelated?

I was referring to cards like Old Book of Lore.

I was just adding the card's rulings. I suspected its mechanics could be called into question, and its rulings a helpful to know.

I think in most situations it's more helpful to skip the Mythos, like you said, because passing though the Upkeep Phase readies cards and nets you a card and resource. I just wanted to say that although your cards don't ready, you are permitted to take more actions because your investigator readies, as it were, f you replay the investigator phase.
