To keep it going on a machine 650 bi-directional rotations should be fine but it will not make a lot of difference as you cannot overwind it. And while on the wrist if fairly active the winding pendulum will swing far more on the wrist the finest watch winder in the world. And after all that's what the watch was designed for rather than stuck on a inanimate machine.Just cannot see the point or putting extra wear 24/7 on any movement if the watch is not needed to tell the time on the wrist just let it stop.
