It will stop / it stops
George is a football referee. He always wears two watches during a game because it is possible that one watch will stop
George is a football referee. He always wears two watches during a game because it is possible that one watch stops.
Is there some difference between these two sentences?

The 2nd sentence does not sound natural to me.

But to me the second sentence sounds more natural than the first one.
The only way is: English is not Portuguese, so I have to familiarize with it.

HI Mikael,
These would be okay:
... in case one stops.
... in the event that one stops.
... to still have one available if the other one stops.
But your "it is possible that one will...." requires stop.
