As a little kid i devloped a habit of wearing my watch while i sleep. The light of a bed stand clock bothers me so I'm the middle of the night when if I wake up I can look at my luminous makers of my watch and see what time it is.

Is this an odd habit?

caballero · 25 January 2010, 03:17 PM

Always have and always will sleep with my watch on. It literally never comes off unless im changing to a different one ...

Speed · 25 January 2010, 03:19 PM

I certainly have heard of several TRF'ers doing this. Not my cuppa tea, but not unique.

One member was in the military / formerly in combat. He said it became a habit while at war since one would not have much time to put on a watch / react if attacked.

ersnyder · 25 January 2010, 03:20 PM

Watch off!

marcinthemiddle · 25 January 2010, 03:24 PM

I feel like I've come across this thread before...like some sort of "thread deja vu"

I can't wear a watch while sleeping, it feels 'weird'-constrictive. Also, My partner banged me in the face the one time he wore his 44mm Panerai to bed....gave me quite a cut.

Bill, let's just say after a trip to the ER and three stitches later he won't make that mistake again! (It was that Panerai crown guard thing that did it!)

Deyn Man · 25 January 2010, 03:39 PM

i think there's already a thread like this...

anyways, when i'm at home, i usually remove my watch. i move a lot when i sleep and might (or have already) bang up the watch on the headboard...
but when i'm in the field, that usually entails sleeping in h/motels, i usually wear them.

rmcarlton · 25 January 2010, 03:42 PM

Never take mine off.

I WILL however, wear it to bed while travelling- I think. Makes sense...thanks, Dean!

Denver Dick · 25 January 2010, 03:49 PM

Right before I go to bed the watch comes off and is carefully set on my dresser. As soon as I get up and cleaned up, the watch goes on until I go to bed that night. Oh yeah, I don't wear my glasses to bed either.

He also slept with his boots on. I sleep with both my shoes and watch off.

DarkHorse · 25 January 2010, 04:13 PM

I always take it off when I sleep, if I'm staying overnight at some new girls place - maybe it stays on...

greenkawasaki · 25 January 2010, 04:25 PM

I'm too scared that I'll swing my arm, watch in tow, into the headboard and scratch or ding it, so no. : (

inspires · 25 January 2010, 04:34 PM

I take mine off - they all have a nice bed for themselves

walds11 · 25 January 2010, 04:40 PM

Nope, not at odd habit at all. I only take my watch off when I shower.

Adam100 · 25 January 2010, 06:16 PM

Take it of before i sleep/Adam

Changmaisausage · 25 January 2010, 06:26 PM

Keep it on just what the lume is meant for I also wear min ein the shower/bath the opnly time I take it off is when I'm changing watches

padi56 · 25 January 2010, 08:19 PM

Cannot see any point in wearing any watch in bed.

but nbow that those days're but a distant memory.....
"off".

bayerische · 25 January 2010, 08:28 PM

On. I'm so accustomed to having something around my wrist, that it feels like a part of my body is missing if I don't have a watch on. Maybe it would work with cuffs too?

KarlFr · 25 January 2010, 08:34 PM

when I was a one-watch guy I'd never take it off..
..nowdays is a different story...

Not any more, Earl, My wife put a stop to that after about a month.

But I do sleep in full "battle rattle" otherwise. You just can't be too careful these days....I just leave my boots by the side of the bed

Sub'erman · 25 January 2010, 09:10 PM

usually sleep with the watch on except for my new 116613. If I don't take it off, I can't fall asleep because I keep on looking at it's B-E-Autiful blume!!

Rscmaine · 25 January 2010, 09:19 PM

I also sleep with my eyelids taped open so no one can sneak up on me.
