I used to use winders too but it's not really needed unless you have a perpetual calendar etc.
Remember watches are meant to beat 24/7 so they will be fine. At the same time watches can be be in a shop for ages before being sold and wound. And they still work fine when sold

Not really. Often watches that were kept in store for a long time do not keep time well and need first service sooner then normal.
There is more mechanical stress on movement parts in pulling the crown, setting time and winding from fully unwound then when keeping it in the winder.
