Do you wear your watch to bed?
Do you have a particular strap you wear?
Any routine?

To answer my own questions:
Yes.
Yes - a black NATO strap.
I use a cloth to polish the watch when I change into my "day" strap.

The watch I wear most right now:

Yes, yes I do.

I also wear it when working, riding a bicycle in the desert over rocks, snakes, spiders, borking down loose gravel and destroying my body (or what's left of it), getting chased by huge pissed off dogs, running errands, sleeping as aforementioned and everything else -- except showering.

Strap changes before and after sleep is some next level shit I haven't made it to though.

Welcome aboard.

No
Thrones already on the watches; I rarely swap
Yes, I take the watch off when I get home from work, and put it on the next morning before I go to work

So do you change to a black nato strap like you change to your pyjamas? 😒

That's the great thing about NATO straps - easy to change, many to choose from - a daily change of strap can be exactly like picking out clothes for the day or night

I’d need a centigraph for that.

After Googling that, disappointed it wasn't a centipede with hash marks on it.

I do. I usually tuck my wrist under my pillow and listen to the ticking of the movement as I drift off to sleep. I tend to wake a couple of times during the night (partially due to the cat, which is another subject all its own), and a glance at my watch tells me what time it is. (If I weren't wearing one, I'd pick up my phone - I'm OCD that way.)

Maybe a moon phase would be better, one with a blue moon.

I don't wear watches to bed.

I collect. That's what I do, who I am. But, I don't go to bed with firearms, coins, antiquarian books, accordions, vintage Gillette razors, or pea whistles either.

Changing the strap for beddy time that is intense. I do often drift off wearing a watch i recall one bout of Covid hit me pretty hard I was laid up for a couple days finally got up realized my automatic watch had stopped. Never had that happen prior or since I must have have been laying like an Egyptian mummy.

Sometimes I do, it’s more dependent on how much whiskey I’ve had than anything else……..so you could say it’s routine! 😁

After a lifetime of nighttime duty call-outs, small children and babies waking and crying, dogs barking and cats coming through asking for breakfast, I always want to know what time it is - and how long I’ve spent sorting it out and whether or not it’s worth trying to get back to sleep before I have to get up

Re-reading my post I realise that to others it may sound a bit 'down', so, to clarify, I always enjoyed my work, my pets and my children and, as Mrs Spruce has previously pointed out, she was always having to get up for the babies rather than me and, finally, I’ve always been an early riser - but I do like to know what the time is 😀
