Disabled watch guy question

Not sure.  I know the Sellita SW200 is bi-directional, so that should help.  My experience has been that relatively normal daily wear / activity should be more than enough to keep the watch wound.

But, I'm sure that there are others on here with much deeper knowledge.

I'm not an expert, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn once... 

I suspect that an automatic movement is not the best choice. I notice my watches get less accurate when the wind is low due to a few days of working from home. 

Perhaps a nice quartz like a Longines VHP would be the best bet, super accurate, and I believe perpetual calendars so no messing with the date wheel every second month either.  

I obviously couldn't say for sure, but I do know that if my teenage daughter has a day just chilling in her bedroom she doesn't move enough to keep her Rotary watch running. Sounds like it could be a bit of a pain having to reset the time all the while if it keeps stopping? Perhaps a solar powered watch would fit the bill for you if you don't fancy quartz? Or could you or someone else put an automatic on a watch-winder at night for you? 

Good idea, I think quartz would be better, maybe solar powered, no battery changes either ?

Thxs for suggestion, I am a mechanical guy at heart

Feel silly i never even considered a winder. Good insight about your daughters watch, very appreciated

I had a strange experiance with a solor powered watch once, one day it just kinda broke, maybe mine was once off though

Maybe a solar watch like a Citizen eco drive might be suitable? Minimal maintenance needed to keep one running for a long time.

Bad luck ! Normally they tend to be quite reliable

I’m guessing the amount of movement you describe wouldn’t wind adequately. Do you live with anyone? You could try it and, if not keeping wound, just ask a household member to wind it a bit daily. A winder stand would be cool but probably require some fine motor skill to get it on and off.

Also consider high accuracy quartz. Just a battery change every few years and +/- 5 seconds per year accuracy in-between. Some beautiful craftsmanship among HAQ pieces these days.

Would frequently wining the watch , lets say every day and a half cause damage to the movement?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong as I'm new to this hobby.

A strictly manual-wind watch will start to resist as it reaches fully wound, so stop winding lest you damage it. But an automatic could get overwound just with your movement if not for its clutch to slip when there's adequate tension in the mainspring. My wife and I share a Cartier Santos Medium and it sometimes sits a while. I've just started winding it 50 times every day. Never gives me resistance. Suppose there's theoretical premature wear on some internal parts but I don't mind getting it serviced every few years.

Just have someone wind your piece 50 times daily. If it starts deviating from typical accuracy, make it 100 times daily. They'll never feel resistance but it will stay topped off.

Unfortunately the amount of movement you are able to do likely will NOT be adequate to keep the watch wound. 
 

If you go with automatic, have a look at something with the Miyota 90xx series. takes Less movement, in my experience, to keep it wound. 
 

Honestly though, Quartz is your best bet

Very informative response, thank you

In speaking of watch winders would anyone know how long i would need to wind it for, say each night?

I would say that depends on the power reserve of the watch. Some are 36hrs, in which case I would put it on every night. Some are 80hrs, so they could go 3 days between windings. 

Sorry to hear of your accident. 

As others have said, quartz watches would be a great choice. One concern that I  have with quartz watches is that unless the watch features an EOL indicator for the battery, you can find yourself with a dead watch at an inopportune time. That happened to me more than once back in the day before smart phones, when my watch was my main time keeping device. To reduce the potential for that, getting either a solar powered quartz, or a a standard quartz with an extended battery change interval could help.

If you opt for an automatic with a winder, make sure that you get a decent winder that provides settings for the number of turns per day and turn direction suitable for the watch you'll be using with it.  I purchased a pre-owned Orbita winder (which is considered a good brand, and is not exactly inexpensive), which I keep outside my home office, and there are times when I can hear it at my desk when it starts winding. Based on that, I'd suggest staying away from the cheap winders, as I suspect that they could end up being annoyingly loud, especially if you keep the winder in your bedroom.

I'd also suggest that if you do go the auto route, try to find one with a power reserve indicator, so that you'll be able to tell if the winder isn't keeping it fully wound. Also, it is my understanding that watches with a unidirectional rotor are more efficient in terms of winding, but I can't say with any authority.

It only takes 20 turns to wind your movement, that is less than 30sec of your day.
