Question about mechanical wear

Right now I am alternating my Nautilus 5726-1a and my AC 5205G every other day so both stay running.

That means the main spring is running down over ~36 hrs before being worn and "recharged."

Do you WIS think that the wear doing that is a consideration for longevity?
Would it be better to wear one for a week, or a month, and then alternate?

I doubt it makes any discernable difference. Each watch has its own personality and will let you know when its time for service, no matter what you do.

I don't think it makes any substantive difference whatsoever.
Many enthusiasts do exactly as you do without incident.

The only thing you're saving that way from wear is the rotor assembly.
