Honey, he shrunk the watches

Self winding just means "needs to have the time reset after 2 days unworn". I wonder if an unworn Apple Watch would last longer?

No, my kinetically charged watch can go weeks unworn without exhausting its charge or losing accuracy.

Not that it matters really. I wear it every day.

So wear it every day, get an device that keeps it wound, or just shake it for 30 seconds a day.

Full disclosure, I'm a mechanical watch nerd, to the point that I enjoy repairing them. So I'm a bit biased towards them.

I have a few of them too, but let's be honest when it comes to their limitations. How is a watch winder any better than the Apple Watch's charger?

If you forget the winder you always have a backup winder.
