Six to one, half-dozen to the other. Running it all the time will cause more wear to the chronograph mechanism, while never running it will not allow the oils to be distributed... Those are the down sides.
It really doesn't make much difference which extreme you do. I typically leave my Chronograph reset and ready for action, but I use it a half a dozen times a day when I'm wearing it, so it gets some exercise. Which is a moderate course inbetween the extremes above.
: thx!
