Im sure this post has been put up before but I was wondering when do you take off your watch?

What activities keeps it on your wrist?

What activities gets it off your wrist?

I wear my DSSD and now my breitling superocean 44mm ALL DAY long..only to shower and sleep does she come off my wrist...

Let me know what you do?...Thanks

Fiery · 22 June 2011, 02:22 AM

I take my watches off once I arrive home. I'm not an all-day-long watch wearer at all.

Roxas · 22 June 2011, 02:24 AM

Only when I go to bath and sleep.

jamesbondOO7 · 22 June 2011, 02:28 AM

To do the date change every other month and to wash it under the shower. The second activity is a daily one.

jay_man2 · 22 June 2011, 02:40 AM

When doing household chores I will take the watch off. Otherwise, I'm wearing one and the rest are on the winder or in the jewelry box.

2th Dr · 22 June 2011, 02:43 AM

To take a shower.
Washing the cars or bikes.
Any other activity where there is the potential to bang or scratch it.

I work with it on, and sleep with it.

Blokewurm · 22 June 2011, 02:43 AM

Today I went to the gym and wore my new Sub C LV as I worked out. I returned home, took a shower still wearing it. My Rolex is now by my side sitting on the sofa waiting for my skin to become less moist (if that makes sense).

Tonight I will also be wearing it in bed (don't laugh but it's part of the new watch bonding process), eventually I will sleep naked and leave it on the side.

I may swap watches throughout the day (up to three times, even). I will also sometimes swap a watch with my best friend for the evening if we're out, but I'm protective of some more than others (the watches, not the friends).

I generally only take watches off for heavy manual work when the tools come out (or when procreating, which is the same thing I suppose)!

Dan2010 · 22 June 2011, 02:54 AM

To sleep. That's it.

thewatchguy93 · 22 June 2011, 02:54 AM

Heheeee, I've been on this forum now for about 4 or 5 months and have seen atleast 5 of these threads now

Thats what you pay for, to be able to not worry about it so much.

the friend watch swap sounds like fun.

Danand · 22 June 2011, 03:10 AM

I don't sleep with it unless I am camping or some such thing where I'd rather keep it on. Otherwise just about the only activity I take it off is waterskiing, and only for fear of a spring bar failure if I fall. (I haven't done any rock climbing lately but the rock gym is another place id remove it, mainly because I I bang it up I'm far more likey to hurt my wrist than the watch!)

Time2time · 22 June 2011, 03:13 AM

Mine comes off when:

Showering.
Manual jobs that has potential to scratch/dent it.
Sleeping.

ecsub44 · 22 June 2011, 03:14 AM

If I'm doing something where it would "bother" me. Like a lot of cycling...or lifting weights...or extended running...or when I need a digital split-timer.

That's it.

Abid · 22 June 2011, 03:20 AM

TOO much information

rad87gn · 22 June 2011, 03:53 AM

Only most of the time when I take a shower. Sometimes it comes with. Otherwise everything I do almost 24/7.

Buck I · 22 June 2011, 03:57 AM

As was said, its off when sleeping, showering, performing duties that may damage it.

I admit, though, every time its off my wrist I can't wait to place it back on. During which I carry a big grin, EVERY time!

mrbill2mrbill2 · 22 June 2011, 04:07 AM

1. Shower
2. Changing date - less than 31 day month
3. Changing to another watch

guy369 · 22 June 2011, 04:11 AM

Whenever I get to relax, the watch comes off.

Hard for a girlfriend to cuddle up next to you when your watch can get stuck in her hair :p

No one wants a 2.5 foot long strand of hair wrapped around a springbar!

LightOnAHill · 22 June 2011, 04:35 AM

given that my daily wearer is a DD, I take it off for the following:

sex (not including quickies)
sleep (at my place only)
shower
overnight camping or hunting
in front of a jury.

rest of the time it's telling me the time.

R.G · 22 June 2011, 04:41 AM

Boooooooooooooooooooo!!

Doctorsti · 22 June 2011, 04:57 AM

I wear my Sub-C LN all day for the past week (only had it a week). I tend to wear all my watches 24/7 unless, like others, I am doing manual labor that has a high probability of damaging it or working out. I wear it to sleep, in the shower, work, normal daily household tasks and light manual labor. I try not to take it off if I can.

dddrees · 22 June 2011, 06:35 AM

I never wear a watch to bed.

Call me chicken but I always take my watch off if doing anything that I believe would puit it in harms way. I know I will put some scratches in them, but I have no desire to do it on purpose.

Explorer 2011 · 22 June 2011, 06:39 AM

I think I've responded to at least three of these threads....the answer is never.

mjclark32 · 22 June 2011, 06:46 AM

Usually just comes off when I retire for the evening.
