Who sleeps with watch?

Who on here finds themselves sleeping with their favorite watch on because they have a hard time taking it off at night?

Always.

I have heard some doubt for fear it will be scratched. I’m wondering what would scratch stainless steel or 18k that would not scratch me?!?

Always here too. I don’t think there’s any environment less likely to scratch a watch than my bed.

Only when traveling. Otherwise I enjoy the ritual of taking it off and putting it back on in the morning.

I’m usually 24/7 after acquiring a new reference, so as to develop a sense of the accuracy. Then, depending on what my wife will tolerate, off and on at different times, or to speed up or slow down what I’m wearing at the time. And always on when I travel. YMMV

I can’t sleep with my ring or a watch. So they come off at night and back on in the morning.

Never. Don't feel normal because I've never worn one to sleep ever. Maybe back in my early years because I was to drunk to remember to take it off..

A friend of mine always slept wearing his vintage GMT. One night he rolled over and hit his watch on the corner of his night stand and you guessed it, cracked the crystal. Expensive fix and never to be repeated.

I suppose you could also knock the wife's teeth out if you had a really restless night.

Always, rarely take my watch off, usually only to change it out to my other favorites.

I usually do, I find the chromalite very easy to read for a time check in the middle of the night.
