I purchased the watch about a month ago and I love it. I don't wear it during the weekdays only the weekends. It has stopped on me twice. Is it ok to let it sit stopped for a few days or a week? Do i just wind it and set the time/date when i am ready to wear it?

Thanks
Jimmy

Or get a watch winder and the watch will always be ready to go ;-)

Most watches only have a 40hr to 60hr reserve. Often people let their time pieces wind down. no it doesn't hurt them. Just be warned, this subject is a hot button topic.

I use a winder for my watches because I like to grab and go.

Yep. Winders are personal taste and circumstances. Never needed one myself but as Ken points out, many do want a grab and go.

I run mine down always when not in use and there never seems to be any problems.
