Most consecutive days wearing the same watch without taking it off

As a fun alternative to some of the threads here

Which TRFer here can claim the title?

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!

Can't do it.

When I get a new watch it usually gets worn for about a week, maybe two.

Then the regular rotation of a different watch every day.

Pretty much been wearing the Platona non-stop since November except for a couple of days until this week. I think that tops you.

Can’t top that. 10 days with SubC while on vacation, didn’t leave my wrist for shower/beach/sleep etc. It was actually quite nice.

How about another thread idea “ How many threads can someone shoehorn mentioning their Platona into”?

Had to take mine off for a few hours this week to chop some trees down and do yardwork. Other than that, it's been a little over a month of non-stop wear.

I have a 4 watch collection and my weekday office watches are a different rotation than my weekend watches. So, I can never go past 5 consecutive days of wearing the same watch. Unless I am on an extended vacation. I never travel with more than one watch.

I've edited the OP.. any/all removal, however brief, disqualifies

Surely someone here - a one watch guy (and obviously around these parts this will narrow the pool considerably) - has gone an entire year, or more

Even to wash?!

Gross.

Showering with a watch just isn't the same.

I hope not! You know all that soap scum that can build up in a shower in just a week or so? Imagine that building between your links for a year!

That's unkind. What's the problem? I see you have no hesitancy listing all yours each time you post. When I had 21 watches instead of three it was much easier to wear a variety. Having one Godzilla kind of defines my choice. Why should I be ashamed of what I wear?

I guess I'm excluded; I'd never wear any watch without taking it off periodically. I developed a skin condition one summer doing that.

Jealousy doesn't become you. Just the truth. Hope it doesn't touch a nerve. For some reason when someone posts something intentionally offensive and follows it with "just the truth, hope I didn't touch a nerve", it just reeks of falsehood. Translated, lying.

Thanks for the laugh! Your obviously easily offended...what really makes me laugh is I didn’t quote you and you still knew it was you I was referencing.

Sorry to OP for thread jack.

And more lies. Take a look at your own actions and motives! Without being false, explain them. Now on top of lying you're further attacking me. I've reached out to a mod, fwiw.

Mine comes off at least once a day plus at night to sleep. So I'm at 0.

Watch comes off soon as I get home from work. Dont wear one to the gym but I should probably get an apple watch just for that.

Normal days; 0. I have worn my watch non-stop during vacations though. So for me, a week would be the answer.

Kind of a weird complaint on a watch forum, particularly from someone who "shoehorns" their watches into their signature.

How is my poke a complaint. Besides my references aren’t shoehorned into any thread but part of my signature.

None the less duly noted...and my feelings aren’t hurt by your observation!

I used to fight forest fires back in college and would go weeks at a time with my watch on, never taking it off... I didn't keep track of how many days in a row, exactly, but we were on fires for 2-3 weeks and would jump to another one, all summer long.

The watch? A Suunto Vector.

This..

Should be most people (I would have thought) - even those that wear them to sleep would take them off to shower..
But each to their own - hope they clean the soap scum off regularly though!
