I'll go first, really don't have a least favorite watch, but oddly enough,
I'll have to say that the last watch before dawn is my fave, for various
reasons.

I don't have a least favorite watch, but somehow it seems
that more problems and/or gear failures occur when I'm off
watch and have to get up.

Same here. Least favorite, midnight - 0400

Two favorite watches:

Rolex, Patek

I like the watch no one else wants... usually that's the same as your
favorite. I don't mind an 11-3 am at all. That's when the stars are out.
Mid-day watches are ok too. You don't have to do much and everyone is around
and doing stuff.

I am at a very low ebb between 2 am and 5 am.

However, a couple of years ago, I did a 26 hour trip. After 20 hours, I
slipped into a routine and I no longer felt the difference between one shift
and another. The other three members of the crew experienced the same
feeling.


I guess that when you settle into a routine, that it becomes easy.

Around Noon in the tropics.

I don't like 2-4am either.
