No, its sitting on my table with my wallet and keys by the front door.
When I travel out of the country or camping it stays on at all times.
That is tough for me as I always like to have a dress and sports watch when I travel.

Me too on all counts!

I take mine off because the SO doesn't like getting watch scratches in her sleep.

As for travelling with 2 watches, I have an Orbita Voyager so I don't have to keep setting the GMT hand.

I don't wear my watch to bed. I don't like the feeling of a watch on my wrist when I sleep.

I also scratched one of my kids when he was about a year old. I was getting him dressed, and as I pulled the shirt over his head the back of my clasp scratched him right along the chest. I started taking my watch off when I bathed the kids, even though the watch is waterproof.

Exactly! I'll sleep with my Doxa or Seiko diver, but my Sub doesn't have the lume for extended duty!

No, I do not sleep with my Rolex on, unless in hotels or camping.
That would take away the thrill of putting it on every morning!
