a quick numbers game...

I downloaded both of your watch photo and compared the exif data. From that simple exercise it looks like the app does less compression than your browser... and when using the site to upload I understand that it's your device that manages the compression. The difference is about 25%.
In my recent upload (using the site) the compression (original to upload) was about 75%.
The interesting part from your recent uploads is the landscape photo. At 1280 x 960 px both the watch photo and the landscape are the same size, but when comparing the resulting image download, the landscape is 2.6x larger (disk space)... which begs the question, what caused the difference (camera, processing, ??). Clearly the watch photo is over exposed and has blown highlights (i.e. less detail). The landscape actually looks very nice...
Another test you can run is host that watch photo and link rather than upload.
One possible approach is to work on the lighting quality of [future] watch photos [again the landscape is looking good] and run another upload test if it's a concern.
