Laying in bed last night it occurred to me that I almost never take my watch off, probably because I would forget to put it back on in the morning. Its a rather heavy Swiss Army watch, and it felt odd when I first got it, but now it feels odd without it.
Anyone else wear their watch all of the time or do you take yours off?
My watch glows in the dark, well, the numbers do. (I think most watches do this, if they don’t have a light, right?) It’s a very nice Seiko which I’ve wanted for years.
I never wear it at night at home, but whenever I’m in someone else’s house I do because who knows where their clocks are? And I like to know the time when I wake up in the middle of the night. And the glow-in-the-dark thing is perfect.
I never used to take it off, but as I share a bed these days, I have had complaints that the metal strap can, uh, trap hair. So now I take it off, if I remember.
I take my watch off at night and also anytime I sit down, like at my desk or while eating. Mostly because I’m mildly allergic to nickel and the back of the watch makes my wrist itch if I wear it for too long.
I take my watch off as soon as I get home from work. My husband usually takes his off as soon as he gets home as well. If not, he definitely takes it off before bed.
And we have a rule when we go camping - absolutely no watches.
Who cares what time it is when all you have to do is sit around the campfire drinking beer and roasting marshmallows?
I always take it off. It’s kinda like taking off underwear before sleeping. Who wants to keep something against your skin all night if you don’t need it?
Hey, Anaamika, let’s go to CA together to see CynicalGabe! (And to get away from the damn cold weather here in Alb.)
Its all in good fun. And the bar depends on how much I’ve had to drink. Havent yet resorted to removing my clothing, but if I have more than 12-15 drinks (not a usual occurence) I might start to believe I can dance.
Have’t checked the weather for central CA, recently, have you? Brrr.
Soon after I retired, I took my watch off, and now I rarely wear it. When I leave home, I often take a cell phone, which will tell me the time if I really want to know.
I usually didn’t bother to take my watch off when I had a cheap one, but now I have a more expensive one I take it off. I’d be worried about damaging it otherwise.
I quit wearing a watch years ago.
My computer at work has a clock as well as my business phone.
If I’m out I have my cell phone and that has a clock on it.
My car has a clock as well as the radio.
Most rooms in my house have a clock.
The channel guide on my sattellite tv has a on-screen clock.
Wearing a watch would just be overkill for me.
