less than 1 day.

I never sleep or shower in a watch. Nothing to do with the watch, just don't like doing it.

Thanks!!! There nothing more to be said between us. There's an old saying, "never wrestle with a pig, you'll just get dirty and the pig will enjoy it."

I wore my LV Sub round the clock without taking it off for 4+ years. Showers, bed, everything.

Out of curiosity, why? Isn't it dangerous (e.g.skin condition)?

I sleep and daily shower with my watch, but I always take it off and polish it after showering, I like a clean watch.

Rules: "without taking it off" taken literally (i.e. watch is worn day and night without removal, working, sleeping, etc.)

I'm on my 13th consecutive day Top me!
I wore my deepsea solid for 5 years....never ever took it off not even once

Zero for me, I remove mine daily to wipe it down or wash, then rest in on my nightstand, crown up so the caseback doesn't get scratched.

Wore my SubC nonstop for our one and a half month vacation last year. Didn’t want to take it off at the hotel. It was awesome. Haven’t worn it since returning though.

I wear mine a few hours a day and then straight back into the bubble wrap and then sealed in the box. No need to take any unwarranted risks.

On a serious note, a new watch is usually put through its "Sea Trials" for about 90 days before I throw it into rotation. To the response about his DeepSea. Awesome.

Great thread.

I'm in the 0 club, never sleep with my watch on.

Surprisingly admire some of these "wear streaks", a DSSD for five years?

Wore my FC diver last year for almost a month when I was on vacation. Clean it everyday but would sleep with it on as didn’t want to forget to leave hotel without it the next day.

I really couldn't tell you.
Any watch I wear, I wear 24-7. It's possible I have worn my SubC for a couple of months without taking it off. It was my first Rolex bought in January 2018. The only time I take any watch off is to change the time, or wear another watch.

This is an easy one. Usually, I travel with just one watch. Hence, when away in business I have to wear the same watch daily. For instance, right now I've been in Panama for 6 days and took the smurf. When I’m back home, I go back to daily rotation.

I take mine off daily when I get home from work and put it on a Wolf winder. I have never even thought to sleep with it on. If your sleeping with a sub or a gmt I would think the bezel would not feel good on your face if you put your hand under your head? Maybe I’m a weird sleeper though? My house rule is no socks or watches in bed.
