Wearing
These may be a silly question for some, but who sleeps with their watch and does wearing it all the time help keep the time better?

I'm sure whoever did probably stopped as soon as they banged it off their nightstand or bedpost

I wear my watches when I sleep and haven't noticed any difference. I am not OCD and I do rotate my pieces frequently.

Took me like a month to get used to sleeping with a wedding ring on, could never go to bed wearing a watch but can fall asleep on planes/in cars with one on...

I used to sleep with my watch for many years but I started taking it off as I went to bed. I didn't personally notice if my watch kept time any better or worse, but I wasn't looking in the first place.

I take mine off and leave it on its side so I can see it glowing!
However, I was bought a watch winder so some nights I put it to bed and tuck it in. ![]() |

Not me - in the watch box or the winder, if it's not on my wrist.

It's literally on me 24/7.
The only time I take it off is going through TSA at an airport. |

I suppose there might be some minor difference because the watch, on the wrist, is kept at a pretty constant temperature. But it will be trivial with a well-desgined watch like a Rolex. I wear it at night so that I know where it is....

I can't sleep with a watch on, it gets on my nerves.

I can't imagine sleeping with any watch on! Watch and wedding band come off before bed.

Interesting. My son called me yesterday as he was flying for the first time since receiving his Rolex after his December graduation from college. He is in a wedding party and he thought it was a logical time/place to wear it.
He was asking if I took off my Rolex while going through TSA. I told him I never do and I've never had any problems. He let me know this morning that he didn't have any problems. Back on point of the thread, I take my watch off before going to bed, but I almost never take off my wedding band. Although it's tungsten carbide and gold and somewhat heavy, I hardly know it's on my finger. |

I'm sure lost of guys wear their watches to bed... until they smack their wife in the head with a Submariner. Then, not so much...

I never wear a watch to bed. I really want to as I hate taking it off, but it becomes uncomfortable somewhere around 3AM, not sure why. So instead I take it off, kiss the Rolex good night and leave it be till morning. Mine keep good time.

interesting question...whenever mine goes in for servicing, the RSC asks me if I sleep with it on. apparently it has something to do with how they calibrate the movement for maximum accuracy.

I never know where I might wake up, so the watch tends to stay on the wrist the whole night through. Never noticed any variation on the odd night that I might take it off to put it back in the safe or whatever.

My husband got me my Apple Watch last year. Love love love it. I bought my first Rolex 2 days ago and almost feel a little guilty not wearing Apple Watch. I bought my husband his Rolex about 6 months ago, a datejust 2 and he's a fireman and wears his on the daily, even in to fires. I'm a nurse and last night for the first time, wore mine to work. I bought the datejust with blue face, flutes bezel and diamonds. Felt almost a little embarrassed wearing it. I don't care if the patients I deal with sat stuff; but some of my coworkers make A LOT less than me and here I am sporting a $9800 watch. I'll just wear long sleeves :)
