    What watch do you wear...

    ...in bed.

    Go on, admit it, you take it to bed also.

    I've been known to fondle my Alpinist and even my Monster in bed. That sounds bad, doesn't it? :D

    So , what do you wear, slumber-time?

    For the past while I've only had one watch, my Planet Ocean, and it very rarely ever leaves my wrist.

    I sleep in whatever watch I've been wearing that day. I can't sleep without one, that'd just feel weird! None of mine cost more than a few hundred quid though (Seiko's, Chris Ward, orient etc), but if they don't die on me by sleeping in them then I doubt any higher quality ones would either.

    I don't and haven't for over 20 years. But funny you should mention it now as I was wrecked the other night and did go to be with my PRS-18 on. Woke up an hour later and had to take it off.

    When it was my only watch, I wore my Brieitling SuperOcean 24hrs a day, in bed as well.

    Now, if Mrs yeti is away, whatever I had on, but if she's home, it sits on the watch/bracelet stand she bought me for Christmas :) And is the frst thing I see when I wake up...

    I do it the other way round - New watch set, wound & put on before hitting the sack.

    Casio F91 with light. So I can check what time it is if I wake up in the night.

    I can't sleep with my watch on my wrist. I don't know why. It just bothers me. Even on an overnight flight I end up taking it off.

    I do the same with my Casio Tough Solar, which I wear for work.

    If I work up when I am on early shift, I get paranoid about sleeping in.. and like to check, using the light.

    If it's 3am, I smugly grin and go back to sleep.

    That's great isn't it, waking up them realising you've got a nice lie in still ahead!

    My 5610 G is the only one I'll wear in bed, if at all.

    You need a Monster then. That bugger stays luming all night, whether you want it to out not. I've genuinely had to put my arm under my pillow because I've woken up in the middle of the night and that thing has still been illuminating the room.

    I never wear a watch to bed.The closest thing is the alarm clock on the bed side table.

    Whatever I have on that day, although being a contact lens wearer I have to say that the seiko monster is the best for bed use, it's about the only watch I can tell the time on in the dark and without my lenses in!!

    I never wear a watch to bed, apart from when I'm fishing. It's just not comfortable.

    Noooo, no watch, that is just plain wrong. I am told I thrash around a lot, so fair chance I could either smack it against headboard/bedside table....or worse...the Mrs.

    Wearing a watch to sleep in just seems wrong to me - it comes off at bedtime, quick polish with a microfibre, then into the watch box and I choose a new one in the morning - I thought this was the logical WIS thing to do.....

    My wrists sleep naked.
    It's just a matter of time...

    Usually wear the watch I've had on that day - I like to know the time if one if the kids wakes up (usually ridiculously early!)
    I don't understand some comments about not being able to wear a watch in bed as it's so uncomfortable? If I couldn't sleep in a watch it would be too uncomfortable to wear in the daytime too. Recently it's been my new gwf-1000 frogman.

    If I was camping / staying in some dodgy hostel I'd keep my watch on, but would most likely only be wearing a g-shock. Would never wear anything decent/expensive/old in bed.

    When I'm out sailing, one with Tritium lume.

    Otherwise, whichever one I forget to take off before I fall asleep...

    Don't wear a watch in bed....too worried about bashing it in my sleep. Plus it interferes with my life support system.

    Tend to wear what I've had on all day, although if it's big & chunky I now come under wifely pressure to remove it as we've had a couple of unfortunate watch/face interface situations recently...

    None. I take my watch off and put in it in the watch box with the others last thing before I go to bed, I haven't worn a watch to bed for years.

    I've never worn a watch to bed. My bed is right next to a brick wall, and I wouldn't risk scratching the watch while I sleep.

    Whatever I was wearing during the day.
    Don't have a specific night watch - closest is a poljot alarm which gets worn and set if I have to get up particularly early for some reason.

    Whatever I wear has to have working lume - I hate waking up in the night and not knowing what time it is. No, not normal. I know.

    This means that I will, for example, wear my 69ST Speedy through the day and then switch to my PO for going to bed. Mrs Cain has given up asking.

    All different story when I am away/travel. I normally wear Vulcain or Memovox (those mechanical alarm watches).
    Me too. It is absolutely amazing how loud the memovox is.

    Absolutely. This is exactly what I do. Take it off, wipe it, wind it (and any others I might fancy in the morning ) and pop it in the watch box. An Alarm clock is for telling the time at night 😊

    Take off the Speedy every night. Give it 12-14 long winds. Pop it on the bedside table where the lume charges while im reading. Lume works all night and watch serves as my bedside clock. Watch only goes back on my wrist after my shower. Had water get into a watch a couple of decades ago and decided that I don't need to check the time in the shower.

    I usually put these three on before I get into bed. Comforts me in a strange way, the way some people have a teddy bear of soft toy from their childhood. I can't sleep unless I have a tonne of metal on my arm...






    Actually, believe it or not, I wear no watch to bed...
