[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 wear those watches once each month, each time on the day after the date displayed on them, so as to only have to rotate the hands a maximum of 24hours. Then I usually wear them for a couple of days in a row. Got one watch where the date wheel is broken and permanently set at 28. Always wear that one on the 28th of each month.
