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...
... 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...
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...
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...

... 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...
... 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...
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
