Yes, but not when a Grand Prix is held in a far-flung location to the east.

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鈥檝e always been an early riser - but I do like to know what the time is 馃榾

馃檮 Mrs Spruce' s commentation sounds very familiar to me. My wife's pointing out is pretty similar. A few years ago I read about a British study, and that was the comprehensible result:

" Mostly it is women who comfort their child. At least that's exactly what a British study proves, because: It's already genetically pre-programmed. For this purpose, noises were played to men and women (also childless) in a sleep laboratory during their sleep. The researchers wanted to investigate the change in brain activity at night. The result: No other sound makes women startle as often as baby crying.

In men, on the other hand, the noise didn鈥檛 even make the top 10! What wakes you up more? Your car alarm, a buzzing fly, or even howling wind. The scientists justify this with evolution. Women are more likely to pay attention to noises that could endanger their children. Men, on the other hand, focus on protecting the entire family."

Sometimes, I do.
But never done with any precious watch, only smartwatches to keep monitoring quality of sleeping sessions.

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.)

I am new here, I read that Omega watches aren't supposed to have any ticking noise. Am I incorrect? Asking because my 1970s seamaster cosmic has a quiet ticking if I hold it to my ear also...

Think it very much depends how good your hearing is. All mechanical watches will have some sort of noise. Even the quartz wall clocks have a loud seconds hand in my experience. What you describe is very normal I would suggest.

In my experience, the only Omega watch that's almost completely silent, even when I hold it to my ear, is my Speedmaster. My Seamaster Diver and my Seamaster 300 are very quiet, but I cab hear the ticking if I hold them to my ear or listen to them when on my wrist under my pillow. The most pronounced ticking sound comes from my Rolex.

I wear my Casio work watch to sleep during my sleepover party every 3rd night at the firehouse if that counts?

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
Same here I usually take it off or if I mwesting a rubber strap it says on longer.
