I am smart and charming. I have 100 experience points and 30 skills points. I am 2 days old. I am playing the easy level. I want to buy something at the dective shop but I am not sure which one to buy. My choice is the pocket watch or the magnifying glass. I am leaning toward the magnifying glass. Is the pocket watch any helpful?

As long as you are not part of an agency, you should try to balance your points between charm and smart in the long run.
Right now, you should focus on smart, since you can solve virtualy any case, at least to the really really hard level, just questioning the suspects. So, focus on getting both smart skills and equipment.

I think the smart skills are important, I need to get more of them.... it is QUICKER to eliminate suspects that way. I am the same archtype as you but had a hard time doing harder cases without the smart skills. So basically I ditto castamir for now... course I have some high charming equipment now.. might lean more to smart later on.. I don't have much choice now in equip as I don't belong to an agency.
So basically get the magnifying glass :) YOu might pick up something neat during favors.. if not you can get a watch later ;).
