I know it's a little bit of a wierd question, but I find myself when I get home from work, I empty my pockets, get out of my work clothes and usually take my watch off for the night if I'm staying home.
Not sure why I do it really. I can't wait to put one on in the morning to start my day....
Am I alone... :roll:

Sometimes change watches when I get home (that's probably more bizarre :oops: ), but always wearing a watch until getting ready for bed.

I'm the same Legmaker. Empty pockets, watch off and change clothes after arriving home, unless I'm going back out again. I also remove my watch for any activity that's sporty or particularly rough or dirty such as cleaning or moving things.

Now that I have another watch coming though I think I may just change with the clothes just to keep them both in use :D

If I put on my Colt GMT in the morning, then it's on till I go to bed. If I've worn my Navi World, I take it off and put on my Colt GMT when I get home.

I do all of the cooking at home, and I don't worry about the Colt getting wet, dirty etc. Plus, it's just more comfortable when around the house.

My daily watch stays on until bed time, unless Im going somewhere after work and then it depends on where Im going and what I will be doing. Out to dinner calls for a shiney watch, goofing around or shopping brushed or PVD!

I'm glad I'm not the only one! Sometimes I switch to my Bentley GT TT at home because I miss it, and it's a little too upscale for the clothes I usually wear to work.

I usually keep a watch on all the time except showering, sleeping, or doing heavy lifting or dirty work.

Put my Navi on when i come home from work, and wear it until bedtime. Unless I'm diong som activities only suitable for the Citizen Eco Drive. Put the Citizen back on when I go to bed (I feel naked without a watch on my wrist), and keep it on during the night and work day.

:yeahthat I only take my watch off for showering, sport, DIY, or before going to bed. And sometimes like Roff I do change watches when I get home from work just to have a change. Other than those occasions I feel pretty naked without a watch on!
