The marine chronometer known as H1, was used to calculate a ship's longitudinal position. His design was unique as the timekeeping piece was unaffected by the change in temperature and also vessel motion.
John Harrison continued to improve on his original design developing the H2, H3 and the H4. each step making the timekeeper smaller and more reliable. The H4 resembles a pocket watch

Why were watches not practical until John Harrison invented his chronometer?
There were only clocks prior to John Harrison's invention of the "Sea Clock". It was invented to find your current longitude on the earth used for ships at sea. Regular Clocks which used a pendulum were too susceptible to movement, humidity and temerpature for reliability until Harrison's invention of a balance spring and escapement which replaced the pendulum. Later Harrison miniaturized his Sea Clock which resulted in better accuracy and reliability into what is now known as a pocket watch.
