Yes, 30 seconds every two days, some watches might need that every day.
It's a huge faff, I'd steer clear if I were you?

Counterpoint - it's a nice physical interaction with the watch that takes a few seconds, and reminds you that you've a machine on your wrist, rather than a computer. I like H/W watches, btu I don't currently own one. Make of that what you will.
Yes, but coming, as I do, from an era before mobile phones, but not thaaat long ago, when most cars didn't have clocks or radios and hotel rooms didn't have radios, never mind TVs, it could be quite scary waking up from a night on the electric soup to find you'd forgotten to wind your watch.Originally Posted by Wexford
Not knowing if you are on this earth or Fullers is one thing, but remembering you're meeting your area manager and you've no idea of the time is quite another.
I've a delightful old Rolex with manual wind and non-quick-change (roulette) date that I wear intermittently, and far from finding it relaxing winding the thing, I live in constant fear that I'm going to get that sickly 'over top dead centre' feel that could be a harbinger of something expensive as I advance the date by twenty days.
Having said all that, you can't win. My daily wearer is one of two 5M43 Kinetic divers, and I end up annoying SWMBO shaking the bloody thing just to keep it up to mid-charge.
Ten year batteries, solar G-Shocks, bring 'em on.
