Lost gold wristwatch with black leather band and rectangular face near Appalachian Trail in Southwest VA.

I lost my gold wristwatch while hiking near the Appalachian Trail in Southwest VA last weekend. It has a black leather band and a rectangular face with a small scratch on the glass. I realized it was gone when I stopped for a break, and I retraced my steps but couldn't find it. I'm really hoping to get it back as it has sentimental value.
