I am not confortable ...
... 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 and prefer not to wear them 'unnecessarily'. A metal bracelet would be a different issue.
Interesting to read Abel's comments so, as with everything, you get used to it.

i did something last night I've never done
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...
Hello Darma! This is a very personal preference or custom...
... 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...
nice story abel
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

I am not comfortable telling people whom I sleep with...:-))
no I never sleep with my watch on Just from habit rather than any concern for the watch Julian
I take everything off...
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...
I recently slept with a watch on. then I saw this topic!!!
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
Darma I hope you wore your Nautilus ,,,
instead of your gold JLC reverso to bed. One is a sports watch and should take some punishment LOL. Cheers,dreamer
i did dreamer
it felt as light as a feather, hows the reduction going ? regards darma
Sometimes I leave it on my wrist whenever I'm on a...
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!
i always sleep with a watch or two on
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...
hehe, gives a wicked feeling, like sleeping with your socks on ...
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...
And, yes, I have been waking up from the noise of my watch banging ...
... 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
always thought wearing socks to bed
was a curious european fetish , actually i remember watching a euro porn movie many years ago and all the guys wore socks. regards darma
That was before...
... we found out over here that the cover was more efficient when worn elsewhere - and made from a different material... ;-) Marcus
Thank you for your lind comments on my previous answer Darma!...
... 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...
Mmmm... Darma talking about the fetish feeling of ...
... 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 ...
sleep next to watch, but not with watch on
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...
I slept with a watch on for over 20 years...
...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...
i sleep, shower, eat and do everything with my watch(es)on all the time
my watch is an integration of me
Did someone sleep with your socks on!
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
I always sleep with my watch on.............
In fact apart from my St Christopher, which my daughters gave me about 15 years ago, i wear nothing else!!!!!! :)
I was bit worried after reading your post title :)
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
