The change in Sonja's sensitivity to the pressure of the watch is due to sensory adaptation. This is a process in which sensory receptors become less responsive to constant or repetitive stimuli, leading to a decreased awareness of the stimuli over time. In this case, Sonja's sensory receptors for pressure in the skin have adapted to the constant pressure of the new watch, causing her to forget that she is even wearing it.
