I got an idea !

Are you sure? Have you done some sort of study to determine the prevalence of watch-wearing in bed and found that it is indeed rare, or are you just basing this judgment on nothing but your own preference? The mere fact that you prefer not to wear your watch to bed does not make the practice "strange." I'm guessing that it's much more common than you seem to think.

I'm very sorry. It appears that I have disturbed and contradicted the beliefs of the bed-watch monster :rolleyes:

Calm down. Take a deep breath. No need to use big words. It doesn't prove anything. Hell, if it did, I'd be using them all day long.

And no, I'm not absolutely certain that I'm correct. However I do know this- my Rolex's band 'cuts' into my wrist when I rest it at an angle. No, it isn't too tight or anything, it's just the way the band was made.

Again, I'm very sorry. I certainly hope I haven't offended you :rolleyes:
 
I find that people that own/wear higher end watches take them off to sleep/shower etc.

I take mine off to shower but not to sleep...if you wear your watch to shower you get soap scum in all the nooks and crannies

That I disagree with you and object to your assumptions does not make me hysterical or irrational. I believe my comment was perfectly calm and quite on-point. In fact, it is you whose tone has been sarcastic and condescending from the start, and who have now descended into mere ad hominem attack.

As for 'big words,' I can only assume you mean the word 'prevalance,' since the only other words of three syllables or more in my comment are 'determine' and 'preference.' I do not consider 'prevalence' an unusually long or obscure word, nor do I think that there is any other word which conveys the full meaning I intended in using the word 'prevalence.' Indeed, it is the appropriate word to use in the context of a statistical study. Using the correct word in the correct way is not wordiness...it's good writing.

Same here.
When I used to for years I never took it off.
Took showers with it on, went to sleep with it and everything.
Very few people take their watches off every night

Umm no.


I was big into watches my whole life, and I met like 2 people who slept with theirs on.


It is no more normal than sleeping with your glasses on or your shoes on.


Most people take off all jewelry before bed, even necklaces and stuff.

OP, that sounds like a pretty cool idea.


My biggest worry would be waterproofing it.
 
This is one of the most ridiculous ideas I have ever heard.

Some of you people here are pathetic and seem really insecure and have this self righteous attitude. I have run into a few people like you IRL and I have dissed them and moved on.

If you say so.
Your analogy is way off by the way.
Leaving a watch, rings or a necklace while you sleep is very common and not like sleeping with your shoes on cause obviously noone does that. But if wanna sit there and argue over nonsense like this go on.

Oh god. Okay, whatever you say then. You win.

Just FTR- the 'strangeness' of wearing a watch to bed is simply MY OPINION. I did not state that 'this is a fact and I'm absolutely certain that I'm correct'. Yes, I live under a rock.

Just wondering, what watch is/was it? Did it have a rubber or metal band?
