Now that I've learned a bit more about Fallen London, I'd wished I'd picked the Watchful choice and gone with the Mirror-polished Shoes instead of the Shadowy choice and the Unobtrusive Bowler Hat, seeing as they're the only Watchful shoes in the game. Thinking about deleting and restarting as I'm not that far along. Rather silly, I know, but considering it.

Just wait until Christmas time. An advent calender code will give you +3 Watchful shoes.

Early in my play I, not knowing that I could wait until Christmas, made as my first (of many!) Fate purchases in Fallen London a purchase to switch which stat path I had taken. I do feel like it's a flaw in the early game of FL that one of the four options is unambiguously better than the other three until christmas evens the score.
But yeah, it's not that expensive if you'd rather not delete to do it with Fate. I think you can do it with the Fate you accrue from early play, in fact, without even spending money.

On the flipside, the hat gives you a source of shadowy second chances that doesn't lower Making Waves or Connected: Society (unlike suspicious loitering) so in the long run it might be better than the shoes (which stop being useful after Christmas)

true, but You already can get all 4 second chances both on the great game-church conflict card, and the hedonist option on give a gift, so one second chance per action seems mediocre. if you want a third way to get hastily scrawled warning notes, though, it may be a good choice.

I will accept all social actions that do not consume free evenings- and i will provide patronage to anyone who requests it, though it will be split between all requesters.
On psudeo-hiatus. Will be inactive and active and fluctuate without warning.

It is also a good choice if for some reason you'd want to get more than 21 notes (since both options you've mentioned cap at that).

In the grand scheme of things, two extra points of Watchful is nothing. Especially not in the early to mid game where it's the easiest stat to increase.
Restarting your character would, in my opinion, be a mistake. The nature of Fallen London is that you are at times going to make choices that you later regret. Nearly all are fixable (some with Fate), but others aren't - and this is part of the enjoyment of the game for a lot of players. Actions have consequences.
If you put yourself in a position where you are constantly searching for the "best" option, and getting worked up when you don't find it (I'm not saying that you are getting worked up, just couldn't think of a better way of putting it right now) then I think you won't have as much fun.
