Its better to just let the watch wind down. It will not hurt the watch in fact may decrease the wear and tear on the movement and extend service intervals. Do not pull the crown out for an extended period of time as I believe the watch will still eventually deplete it's reserve.
: I'm probably about to buy my second 'good' automatic (ie,
: non-battery powered) watch. I've got two questions re: power
: reserves:
: 1) I know electronic devices don't like having their power levels
: reduced to zero. If I didn't wear my first watch for a period of
: time (days or weeks) and the power reserves ran down to zero,
: would this be a problem?
: 2) If I wanted to maintain some power reserve in it, would it be OK
: to leave the watch with the crown pulled out, as if I were
: setting the time? Obviously I'm not then going to chuck it in
: the bathtub.
: For info, my existing watch is an Omega Seamaster 300m; the new one
: is likely to be a Breitling Superocean Steelfish.
: Thanks.
