doo-dads

English to Spanish Other Retail
You just bought a XXX watch. The fact that you bought a XXX means you can probably tell time, but you may not be familiar with all the doo-dads and features of our watches.

chismes / encantos

"Doo-dad" is kind of an endearing term, so you might want to be kind of playful with it--sounds like this source line has a playful tone.

I figure "chisme" offers that same non-descript effect as "doo-dad"

You might choose "encanto" if you think that would shed more positive light on the product.

In informal British English, you can refer to something, especially an electronic gadget, as a doodah when you do not know exactly what is called.
