How often should an automatic require manual winding?

[caryyee]

I have a very sedentary job, sitting at my desk all day in front of a computer screen. I wear my watch from approx 7am - 6pm each day and I've never had to wind any of my Rolex's. I'm also very active, but when I'm active, I'd switch to my GMT. An hour of exercise at the gym in a group fitness class is enough to keep my GMT going until my next group fitness class, usually 24hrs later. Have never had to manually wind my watches unless I leave them untouched for 40+ hrs.

You,, sound like you're more active than the OP...
.
I wouldnt loose sleep, as I don't, if my DJ or Tudor Sub should stop, because I havent worn it through a 'cycle'.
Hadnt had my DJ on for 2 days.. It stopped, not suprisingly, so I just wound it, the 40+ turns and set the current date to today, the 7th and will wear it for the rest of the night...
Should be good for another couple of days ..or maybe wear again tomorrow, to get it in motion...!
Its part of the partnership you have with these automatics....!!
just my $.02
