[manual watches] am I the only one who doesn’t wind them? (alien.top)

I got tired of setting watches in my collection since I rarely wear the same watch two days in a row. If someone asks for time I look at my phone anyway. So I treat my vintage watches as bracelets. If someone points to the watch showing the wrong time ( which has never happened) I'll say it’s set to a different time zone. Am I the only one who does this? I also want to protect the skin on my fingers, some watches require force to wind them daily.

I'm afraid to admit this, in fear that I'll get flamed by the community, but I too don't wind my (albeit, automatic) watches. Nor do I use my watch to tell the time; as I still take a second or two to tell the time reading an analogue watch. I also switch my watches in and out too frequently for the power reserves to hold up.

So, perhaps in the past year or two, I've just stopped setting my watches all together. I just don't see the point.
