It can't hurt. Being upfront is always best in my opinion. I'd just walk in and tell them you are looking for two specific items: an engagement ring and a watch. They will give you the usual song and dance about wait times, etc. Just be specific about what piece you're looking for. When it comes time to discuss the engagement ring, go through the whole process, select something, and then tell them you are going to think about it.
It's much easier to politely take your time with an engagement ring (which they readily have available) and it politely puts them in a position to influence your decision to go with them if they can also find the watch you are looking for. I do this all the time. I tend to buy watches from my AD when my wife also wants something that I know they have.
