I have: I almost always take off my watch (a Polar S610) at night, leaving it on the bedside table. This means that it should see a regular drop in temperature, from ~30C during daytime, to 18-22C at night. It really doesn't seem to matter though, at least not for this particular watch, it has always kept time very well, drifting on the order of a second in a few weeks, and always in the same direction (slightly fast). This seems to be more or less independent of ambient room temperature as well, so at least for this particular watch, the crystal is very well-behaved.
