The watch has never been identified, which is the whole story. Michael Rooker plays Robert Marshall in The 6th Day, a corporate enforcer working for a cloning company that has quietly started duplicating humans. Roger Spottiswoode directed the film as a near-future thriller starring Schwarzenegger, and Rooker does what Rooker always does — shows up looking like someone you do not want at your door, says relatively little, and makes the threat physical.
The watch on his wrist is visible in several scenes but has never been matched to a brand or model. It reads as dark-cased, functional, and unremarkable — the kind of thing a prop department pulls from a box of generics rather than placing deliberately. Marshall is a mid-level antagonist, not the mastermind, and his wardrobe reflects that tier. No brand wanted their name on the wrist of a disposable villain in a Schwarzenegger film that grossed $96 million on a $82 million budget.
Rooker has spent four decades playing menacing supporting characters — Henry in Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, Yondu in Guardians of the Galaxy, Merle in The Walking Dead. The man makes an impression without needing accessories to help.
