Do you find yourselves....
Do you guys find yourselves randomly shaking your wrists? More than say, a G-Shock wearer?

No, but I do take it off and wind it every few days - since I'm a desk jockey, I figure it can't be helped.

Umm, yeah, I do. Dunno why, I just do. My digital is so light I don't notice it, but by YG GMT has some noticeable heft to it, so I find myself giving my wrist a bit of a 'flick' every now and again ....

Ah yes, that was what I was trying to convey in my post above! My plastic digital doesn't really stick, but my YG does. Funnily enough, my SS don't stick quite as much, maybe it's something to do with gold's conductivity or something?

Yes, when it rides up my wrist, or just to feel it on my wrist. It's like admiring the watch, and not necessarily reading the time.

Same here, just to readjust the positioning on the wrist.

Depends, when my bracelet is sized to loose, then it slides around and I need to shake/reposition the watch during the day.

The safest place for your watch is on your wrist.

Same here.

I am mostly sitting at a desk at least for 8 hrs daily and none of my Rolex's have ever stopped, and I do not shake my wrist. So if people do it because they are afraid it does not get enough winding, I think in most cases shaking your wrist randomly is probably not needed.
