I wanted an automatic for some time, and last year my gf bought me one. But the longer I've owned this watch, the more Im starting to dislike automatic watches. I've always thought there was something classy about an automatic, but Im thinking about switching back to a quartz movement.
Bah, I am starting not to like my automatic watch

Don't they make holders that you can put them in that simulate arm movement to keep them wound when you're not wearing them?

You could just fap with it on once every couple of days
It I did that just once, my watch would be running for about a year.

Same here, I like the looks of it and it works fine as long as I wear it all the time but if I go for a day or two without wearing it then I have to reset the Day/Date/Time.
Gets annoying as hell.
Been wanting to get a new watch that I like looks wise as much as this one but without the automatic aspect.

Why would anyone buy an automatic if they don't wear a watch regularly?
It's like someone buying a 4WD then never leaving the bitumen...wait
I wear a watch regularly. In fact, I feel nekid if I leave the house without a watch. But on some days, usually weekends, Imight not wear a watch. For example, I won't wear my watch if Im staying home for all day or If Im going to an amusement park or something.

Keep it in your pocket? That sounds like it should work, as long as it's well protected.

Doesn't the watch have a winding mechanism? Just wind it each night on the days you don't wear it.

Many automatic watches (including most relatively cheap ones) don't have the ability to be handwound.
I personally don't worry too much about having to reset my watch - I have several and change them from time to time, necessitating a reset. I don't really think much about it.
Generally auto watches have a power reserve of 40-48 hours when fully charged. If you're just going a weekend without wearing it, it shouldn't lose much if any time, so resetting it should just consist of winding it forward whatever number of hours is needed to get it on time - the day and date won't need to be independently reset.
