If you wear your Automatic watch everyday, it is best
to wind it once, every two weeks to keep the wheels in motion and oil fluid. Simply
wind the crown (the same knob used to adjust the time and date) until you meet slight
resistance.
If you do not wear your Automatic watch everyday, you should try to wind
it at least twice a week to ensure continuous operation, as well as keeping the
inside mechanism in complete running order.
Try to wind your mechanical watch at the same time every day. This is extremely
beneficial for the mechanism. You may want to make it a routine, winding it every
morning when you wake up.
Avoid setting the day and/or date (if your watch has these functions) at
night. The day-date mechanism is activated during the nighttime hours and could
be disrupted if set at this time.
And, always avoid wearing your mechanical watch, if you are playing a sport requiring
continuous arm motion (e.g. tennis, baseball, golf), since continuous arm motion
could damage the movemen
