I do have a question. About which I have wondered for decades. Why don't
people ware their watches at night. From the time I first received a Braille
watch, some 57 years ago now, I have worn my watches when I slept. I use them,
when I would wake to tell the time. For quite some time in the late 70's and
early 80's I didn't have an alarm. I would often use the watches to tell time
then. I ware my Bradley , and use to wear my Ticit constantly, almost.
Because each is water proof.

To be honest Peter, I find I hardly consult the hour indicator at all. In my
experience I tend to know what the hour is and am usually loking to check the
minutes. The only time this matters is during the night when I’m not wearing
the watch anyway and therefore the hour ball baring is pretty easy to find.

between about 8 and 10 the ball-bearing tends to be displaced. Shaking the
wrist does not always return it to the correct position and so I have to have a
rough idea of the time in order to be sure of it.
Re the second point does anybody else have this experience?
