Taking it off anytime I'm doing anything remotely risky to the watch, making sure my cuffs aren't apt to scratch, etc. I'm sure after I get a little wear on it I'll loosen up but its a little crazy till then. Also, wondered how many of you list your watch on your homeowners insurance. It's not cheap. I guess its a case of if you can't afford it.......

I'm the same way and it drives me crazy. I hope after a few more weeks, and maybe a few battle scars, that feeling wears off.
