I was a pocket watch user in the time before we all carried phones all the time and I cursed all pants without a fob pocket in those days.

I was always taught it was called a ‘fob pocket’, as in a pocket for your fob watch (the old name for a pocket watch) but I only knew that because my grandfather collected fob watches. I was also taught that the little pocket near the hip of the inside of a coat is called a fob pocket for the same reason.
