Really? That's surprising. Back when I wore a watch (over ten years ago), I only took it off for showers. Part of the appeal was being able to leave it on at all times and not have 'yet another device that needs special instructions before sleep'.

Yup, even the people who are "watch people" (ie - they think nothing of collecting expensive swiss hand-made ones) are the same.

You're ignoring that there are other watches besides smart watches.

My old non-smart watch had battery that lasted 2 years, and generally I never took it of for sleeping.

Nope, I'm including that. It's anecdotal obviously but I've only known one person - ever - who did that with a regular watch.

Was kind of gross tbh.

That's another strong point of Pebble, I can wash it :)
