Are these higher tpd bad for the watch over the long term?

Just think how many times the rotor would turn in say the average 12 hours daily wearing, a lot more than on any watch on a winder.And no it will not cause any stress on the clutch mechanism thats what its designed for.IMHO watchwinders are not necessary for watches with simple date complications,if it stops it only takes around 30 secs to wind and reset time date etc. Save your money put it toward another watch.
