Do you shower with your watch?

I've done this with my f3hr for a long time with no side effects. I loosen the watch strap and wash my wrist underneath and then rinse. I now do this with my f6x Saphhire.

Do you do this? If not, why not?

Absolutely no problem with replying to a five month old thread; that's preferable to starting a new one. However, any credibility you might have had from your experience with

Once every blue moon...

I prefer taking it off when I shower and just rinse it with water and some 100% bio coconut soap. Every day I clean it, at least twice, with a dump cloth and wash my wrist as well.

I really can't shower with it, once I scratched myself while washing, so I prefer to stay scratch free.

I also sleep with it.

Does this mean we are in a relationship?

I enjoy long walks on the beach with mine

Yeah. Now that I think of it, we do everything together.

Lol! It's only because I use that as an excuse to give it a wash most of the time. There are times when I will take it off and put it some warm water along with my specs and heart rate strap. But mostly ti all gets a good rinse in the shower.

At my age, if I take it off to shower the chances of me remembering to put it back on after are slim to none.

I can definitely relate to that!

Sometimes. I've read (don't remember where) that soap and shampoo aren't best buddies with this kind of tech so i give it a rinse and sit for drying.

Unless you wash your hair with solvents and industrial detergents I'm pretty sure your stainless steel / titanium / glass / sapphire watch is not going to come to harm from the use of your Head & Shoulders.

But we preferer to pay almost 2-3 times more for the screen lottery ticket and then be part of the team of ~~guinea pigs~~ volunteer beta testers and patiently waiting for ohr sensor readings to make any sense and rd pod be of any use... lol

I sleep with it too! My morning ritual is waking up, a given, check my sleep stats, promptly curse that it makes no sense and of no use . I finish curse with a xxxx you Garmin you have baked xxxx.
