windows can choose to inherit the pointer icon from their parent
window (the root window in most cases). You should check if the watch
is the pointer icon in the root window. Move the mouse somewhere onto
it and see. You can switch to the standard pointer with this command:

xsetroot -solid black -cursor_name left_ptr
