Police last week reported the death of Mr Watson (78) on February 1 after an altercation in an Invercargill carpark on January 28.
Today the man, through his counsel Hugo Young, applied for and was granted interim name suppression.
Mr Young sought a three-week adjournment so that full disclosure could be received.
Part of the man's bail conditions were to not contact people associated with the case and to not enter the Newfield Tavern.
The file will now be transferred to the High Court at Invercargill where the man will appear on April 18.
