Question For Watch Guys

Seiko, really, wow? I don't have any manual or Kenetic Seikos, but my quartz are my most accurate by far.
I love this Sportura from the 90's I bought NOS.
It's said to be accurate down to 1/100 sec, that's that sub-dial at 12 o-clock. It's really cool to watch because that little hand spins so fast it's just a blur til it stops.

The Seiko is a less than $100 automatic, I think using an in-house mechanism. It will go maybe a week before it is off enough that it needs reset.

I don't use winders as I keep my watches in my safe. I still wouldn't use one anyway as I believe they will advance wear and winding and setting mechanicals is part of the joy of that type of watch.
I own too many watches. Multiple Rolexes and Omegas. Also Habring, Oris, corum, Seiko, kurono, JLC, Piaget and some lesser known such as Scurfa, Brumantange and Anicorn.

At least to me, I fail to see any logic in using a winder as continually running the watch just has to increase wear on the movement vs. just letting it run down and stop, without providing the slightest benefit that I can think of. But what do I know? I have an extensive collection of clocks most of which that I do not run, but if I do wind one, it always runs just fine. I have one large antique tall case clock that I do run overnight a couple of nights per month just because I think it is a good idea to exercise the works occasionally.

I've got these three plus a Glycine Airman I wore on deployment. No winder. I just wear one to work then switch into the Airman for the evening. If I'm dressing up, the bronze skeleton gets wound and set. The squadron watch winds down over the weekend and I can always tell how busy my Monday or maybe even Tuesday was by when I remember to reset the time.
