One of the men had a handgun and used it to strike the victim in the head, knocking him to the ground, cops said. The two took the watch from the victim, got into their car, and drove away in an unknown direction.

The men are described as black males, both about 25 years old and approximately 5-foot-10, police said. They were both wearing dark colored pants, dark colored hooded sweatshirts, and bandanas over their faces, detectives said.
