I have a different watch for every day of the week and no winder because a winder will just wear out my watches that much more quickly, because a mechanical watch is after all a machine and machines are wearing out while they are running. Right? Restarting a watch is no problem. I had a winder once but when it stopped working, I never bothered to replace it. Couldn't think why I should.
Leaving a watch on a watch winder is like keeping your running when your not driving it. Of course, watches with multiple complications are an exception. That said, I have one, but I only use it for the next days watch in order the movement can settle down.
If I had something like a Rolex 1601 or a 60s vintage automatic, then yes, I would keep it on a watch winder, because they didn't have a quickset date. Also if it were COSC or METAS certified, I might so I could let that sweet timekeeping do its thing, but otherwise these things are a waste of money.
I leave my watches in the gun safe. I think if I keep them running they are wearing the gears and what not. Maybe I need a cheap one for when I want to wear one of the nice ones during the weekend and my Seiko daily wont go out of wind. 🧐
a comment on top said your video is uninformative. which i totally agree, your watch and product reviews are so flawed and your attitude towards Chinese products is disgusting.
