This is something that has always intrigued me and I have trawled the internet for answers previously none of which have persuaded me one way or another.As I am now a member of a watch lovers forum I thought I would ask the question of those who live for their watches 24/7.
Many medical opinions suggest that it is unhealthy to sleep with your watch on? Yet over the years I imagine many people have found it a neccessity to wear a watch in bed. People such as Service men/women, scientists, Business travellers. I don't have the answers.
Personally, I can't imagine wearing my "better" watches to bed, and certainly NOT my pocket watches, but I have been known to "crash out" after a few bevies and wake up in the early hours wearing, amongst other things my watch, which has probably caused me to wake by scratching my face!!
It's a very personal, but philosophical debate and I hope to get some interesting respones to this topic, least of all for a bit of fun
It is not necessary to wear my watch in bed but just something that I do. For many years I just had a Seiko kinetic diver and wore it in the shower, sauna. poo; etc without any issues.
I would be interested to see this `evidence' as I have always worn my watch in bed and no health problems so far at 74.

I suppose it's okay, so long as the watch has a screw down crown to keep out the bed bugs, fluff, dead skin, detached nostril hairs etc that would otherwise creep in while you're asleep. :scared:
I am in the "wear it to bed" camp - I like to know what time it is when I wake up for the inevitable trip to the loo in the wee small hours (see what I did there?) - Although I do have watches with 200m + WR I always take them off in the bath or shower as I can't imagine steam etc would be good for them ...
I wear my Ball chronometer in bed just about every night, I do have a bedside alarm clock, it's quite dim ( I can't even read it in daylight) but I turn it to face away from the bed because I like it very dark. The ball is perfect, stays on the winder most days, but most nights, on the wrist.
I have always worn my watch to bed, apart from when I was a student and my only watch was a 1920s Longines. I woke one night and discovered the crystal had fallen out! Amazingly, all three hands were still in place, but I didn't trust it after that!
I wish you wouldn't wear a watch in bed, you have caught them in my hair, scratched me with a bracelet and banged me on the head while you were asleep :taz:
Often wondered this too , think I will give it go :thumbsup:
