Mechanical watch require maintenance and that cost money.
Rolex maintenance schedule is every 3 years of continuous use.
Seiko spring drive is 3-4 years maintenance schedule and it can cost up to $900.
It is your watch and money. I personally let my automatic wind down if I'm not using it.
Yeah shouldn't keep a watch winder on all the time. Only use it if you have to.
Watch winder wear down your movements. I let my watch wind down. If I need to use an automatic watch, I shake it for a few seconds to get things moving again.
I never manually wind my automatic.
