In Response To: Re: quartz vs. automatic ()

What's a 'winder'?

: Well, time I chimed in here to confuse the

: matter. I'll have to agree that the quartz
: is accurate, and generally requires less
: maintenance, though I'd have to disagree
: over why we own and wear watches. I wear one
: because I like the tactile feel of having
: one on my wrist. I like the motions of
: winding and wearing watches, of dealing with
: all their little quirks. If I just wanted to
: know the time, I'd look at my pager and be
: done with it. That being said, I prefer the
: Autos over the quartz. They just have more
: personality. I deal with the need to keep
: them wound by leaving the autos on a winder
: when I'm not wearing them.

: I have both Quartz and Auto, Digital and
: analog. My faves are the Sub and the S/M Pro
: Auto.

: Cheers,
