Pardon me for asking despite being here for quite some time,

I know for automatic movement, as long we wear it, we wont have the issue for setting the dates/ times since the watch will consistently be "alive"

However, for hand winding movement, do you all have to set the date everyday? or is that when the thing call power reserve comes in.
For example, Pams 8 days have a 8 day power reserve, means you wind once and it will last for 8 days. After 8 days without winding, the watch will stop. But if within the 8 days, you all can choose when to wind and you all will skip the trouble of setting?

Just Continue to wind on the 7th to keep it running. Then no need change or set date lor.

For mine I have to wind every 2 days unless I want it to stop..

 

[gaoxing84]

It depends. Some of them are two hand or three hands, no date. So it doesn't matter if the power reserve runs down.

Mine is an 8 days with extra GMT hand, date and a power reserve indicator so my habit is to wind when the indicator is at half reserve. Only once or twice have I run it to zero power before. Winding can be done at any point of time.
