 First off if the watch wears out before you it was not really that well made. A good automatic should be good for a few generations at least if well maintained.

Some folks do like to have the watches on winders just so they don't have to reset the watch every time.

But all you really need to do is wind the watch several times a year so it can keep it's self lubed. They have a oil in them that if it sits to long you will have to get it serviced for it will as a uncle of mine say... " get gunnked up?

I have most of the ones I wear often on winders but others I just take out of the box about one a month and shake them so they wind a little and let them get a little work out.

I have heard many sides to it all too but to me just a little logic and common since and TLC for the watches should do just fine. ;)
