Horological Meandering

and thats sleep with a watch on. It got me wondering about what the purist's thoughts or preferences are on this subject. Whilst i slept well i don't think its something i will repeat again as I'm worried i might damage the watch with a reckless motion an... 

... and each one has his own point of view. To me, my watch is part of my life, and being now near 64 years old, I have been sleeping with a watch on my wrist since I got my first one, when I was nine, so... After 50 plus years with this custom, I can´t g... 

im not sure if you are in the minority or majority , however im happy you love your watch and have an inseperable bond with it. regards darma

... sleeping with a watch on for the same reason as you - I am not in control and may damage it unknowingly. The few times I have gone to sleep wearing a watch I visually check it over after awakening. I also try to prolong the life of my leather straps a... 

no I never sleep with my watch on Just from habit rather than any concern for the watch Julian

I simply prefer to have nothing on my wrist while I sleep. Certainly a more critical issue for large or very expensive watches, since you cannot possibly consciously control how you move as you sleep, and the solid obstructions that may present themselves... 

its something I never done before too!! I was in a friends place and I just fell asleep with it. did t think I will sleep but I did

instead of your gold JLC reverso to bed. One is a sports watch and should take some punishment LOL. Cheers,dreamer

it felt as light as a feather, hows the reduction going ? regards darma

cheers,dreamer

photo trip. Well, especially, for Seikos in particular as I can't wind my Samurais and the power reserve on both my orange and black one can be a bit dicey. As a rule though, I take them off when I sleep. Actually I take them off upon reaching the house!

its something i've always done i think. the habit was made permanent when i was in the army as you never leave valuables lying around and never know when your going to be dragged out of bed in a hurry so its always better to wear your watch. never damaged... 

Regarding myself: I never ever take off my watch at night. I am very short-sighted, and would be unable to see the bedside alarm clock's display when waking up in the middle of the night. Aside that, these mdoern LCD clocks do not even have a permanent il... 

... against the metal framwork on the head of my bed on more than one occasion. However, not even soft golden watches have suffered any damage. egards, Marcus

was a curious european fetish , actually i remember watching a euro porn movie many years ago and all the guys wore socks. regards darma

... we found out over here that the cover was more efficient when worn elsewhere - and made from a different material... ;-) Marcus

... It is very curious and interesting for me to read the responses of other fellow Purists members regarding this issue of wearing or not a watch when sleeping. Curious, as it is something so "natural" to me, that I never put myself to think if this is n... 

Watches get in the way of the handcuffs. Cheers, pplater.

... sleeping with socks, and Pplater not wearing watches at night not to interfere with handcuffs... ... now, this thread is really getting really interesting! I´m thinking that I´ve been sleeping (without socks) with my watch for more than 50 years, and ...

like Dr Hanke, I am almost totally blind without my glasses on, so must have something very close to see time at night. But I don't like bright neon shining in my eyes either. So I developed the solution of putting a clock on shelf below the edge of the b...  

...but then one day, relatively recently, I just stopped. Now I never sleep with one on. Not because I suddenly was worried I would do damage to the watch, but because all of a sudden it just bothered me...an almost claustrophobic feeling. Maybe it has so... 

my watch is an integration of me

Only kidding. Do a lot with my watch on but sleep is not one. No particular reason just habit. I guess I am the opposite of Abel sleep habit. Hagwe

Thankfully never damage any.

In fact apart from my St Christopher, which my daughters gave me about 15 years ago, i wear nothing else!!!!!! :)

but then I read that you done something I never done so I'm peaceful again ;) Best

I always take off my watch before bed, and before a shower. Don't like to care much about time when asleep, and feel uncomfortable with it on in bed, also don't need to see the time for the 5 mins it takes to shower. To each his own! Rishad
