it’s always one of my rough and tumble ones I don’t mind getting scratched.

So...no major mishaps here as I thought might be the case. A mix of yay's and nay's with more saying yay than I imagined. As much as I like a nice watch, I do not want a machine on my person when I close my eyes. Going to sleep should be about trying to recreate an almost womb-like state. A darkened room, no watch, no TV and certainly not a mobile under the pillow ready to be activated first thing in the morning or, worse still, during the night. :lol:

No watch for me anymore. I used to leave them on, but now make a point of taking them off after whacking my GS on the metal part of the headboard.

Nothing exciting unfortunately for me, just a flailing arm.

I have gotten in the habit of wearing a watch to bed since the advent of sleep tracking, which I get through my Garmin Fenix 6s or Apple watch. Honestly I mostly use the apple watch for exercise & sleep tracking and the Garmin for outdoors adventuring and sleep tracking. However, every once in awhile I just don't bother putting one of those watches on and end up falling asleep in whatever watch I was wearing. This is something I wouldn't have done before the sleep tracking but now feels normal to me.

I never used to regularly wear a watch in bed, mostly only on trips etc, but in recent years, I do.

I think the change relates to the time I choose which watch to wear. When I worked, I would usually pick a watch when I woke up in the morning, so wearing one to bed seemed pointless and I usually but it back in the box at night; so not even on the bedside table.

Since I’ve retired, I’ve taken to choosing my watch in the evening, last thing before I go to sleep. The ritual usually involves charging the lume so I can see it during the night, as rolling over and lifting my head up to look at the bedside clock rouses me sufficiently that it takes me some time to go back to sleep. A quick glance at the watch on my wrist (usually near my face when I sleep) is not enough to really disturb my slumber, so I drop off back to sleep pretty much straight away.

So yes, bedtime watch wearing is normal for me - now....

Never in bed... No point for me. I like a lume watch on the bedside but tend to agree with most folks here re selection in the morning etc. Plus I have so many I mainly need to wind up first thing !

No watch in bed for me. Not that I really fear it happening but I cracked an LCD watch while sleeping when I was a teen.
