: I don't have winders, and two of my automatics
: can not be hand wound. I mildly
: "shake" each watch in rotating and
: tilting movements for about 20 times every
: morning, which keeps both running for at
: least 24 hours, until the next morning.
: Common man
I thought it would require way more than 20 times to have enough power to last 24 hours since I know there are days when I wear the watch for 1-2 hours and I've been walking the entire time non-stop and it doesn't seem to last 24 hours before the watch completely stops so I always ended up leaving the crown unscrewed so I can manually wind it when necessary.
Cheers,
Vince
