I didn’t immediately realize this was a Barbie® watch. It’s not unusual to know exactly what I have until I go through things. But what is Poodle Parade®? Turns out it’s a limited edition doll released in 1996.
Everyone loves a parade, and Barbie® doll could lead one in this reproduction of a 1965 Barbie® doll and vintage fashion. Her facepaint, sculpting and hairstyle are pure nostalgia, while her fitted olive green jumper and checkered knit coat make you yearn for the fashion sense of yesterday. Her accessories include a pink scarf, tote bag, sunglasses, trophy and first prize certificate.

The watch was released the same year as the retro doll.
The back shows this to be an Official Fossil Limited Edition from 1996, number 1,150 of 10,000.
A quick search told me that there doesn’t appear to be a shortage of these collectibles new in the box. In fact, it’s likely the atrocious condition this one is in makes it a rarity. 😉 Here’s a side by side comparison with an original.
