- It's a beautiful watch that you have got . Thank you , i bought it by travelling througt Switzerland
( C'est une belle montre que tu as sur toi . Merci , je l'ai achetée en voyageant à travers la Suisse .

- I'm wondering to find an hostel before the night/dark coming . Do you know where could i quickly find one close to here ?
Yes there are two . The first is closer than the second , about two minutes by feet/on foot after pass in front of the new cinema .
Thank you

Hello.

You have some errors.

- It's a beautiful watch that you have got./that you are wearing/that you have. Thank you, I bought it (when I was) travelling through Switzerland.
( C'est une belle montre que tu as sur toi. Merci , je l'ai acheté en voyageant a travers la Suisse .

- I'm wondering if I can find a(n) hostel before the night/dark coming . Do you know where I can quickly find one, close to here?
Yes there are two. The first is closer than the second, about two minutes by foot/on foot after you pass in front of the new cinema.
Thank you
Have a good/nice walking !

Thank you for answering my questions ( Merci d'avoir répondu à mes interrogations )
Preposition/ BY : I understand better today .
I translated like this " I'm wondering to find an hostel before dark " Because I wanted to say : J'ai en tête de trouver un hotel avant la nuit tombée .
However it's a little bit too agressive if I compare with your translation .
Regards

Hello again.
If you don't want to keep "I'm wondering," you could try it another way. You could 'have (something) in mind', for example.
