would watch movement be affected with seldom usage?

[foofam77]

i only wear my sub lv on weekends...

so winding is required everytime i wear the watch on weekends...

just wondering, stopping short of investing in a watch winder, would my watch be spoilt over time due to the ill-frequent usage?

thanks

Do a little search here and you shld be able to see a discussion on this topic. Thre r 2 schools of thought on this: some said watch seldom wear, no good, inside not well-lubricated. Some others believe often wear, very easy wear-n-tear, also no good. To me, taking care of your watch in a reasonable way is sufficient. This includes how you carry it around on your wrist each time you wear it.

I also heard new watch needs to "run-in" the movement for the first month. Critics to this said no need, movement shld have been run in at the factory liao.

It's up to you to believe.

Cheers!

Think its good to invest in a winder.... Can jus take out the watch and wear... No need to adjust the time and date... Since you have already spent so much on a watch, might as well get a winder... My humble opinion...

Hi, agreed with rotan and would recommend investing on a winder. At the moment I wear my sub on weekend too, and no winding is required, though I think the watch should not spoil so easily.

this is a very debateable issue.

some feel no need winderand just wind when wanna use.

for me, i lazy to always wind when i want to wear the watch so I bought a winder. Not for the fact that I am worried the watch will be spoilt if only use on weekends, but more fr just my own convenince.
