Hello,
I'll be honest, I just keep a note taker powered on on the night stand. That's
what I use as the watch at night.

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.

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?
