2 house a day won't keep your submariner running, at least 8 hours a day then you don't need to wind it.

I see, that's long hour. However, if I wear it for 8 hours daily will it stop by itself?

Hey Rambo,

You can wear your auto watch 24 hours a day but if you don’t move your arm it won’t wind up.

Swinging your arm around might help though.

How are you swinging?

650 times/day. 40 x 360’s every half hour.

Exactly that wearing a watch dont wind the watch its wrist movement that swings the winding pendulum to wind the watch.

Eventually Yes.
When I wear mine for 8 hours I tend to wind it every day or two.

either you lack activity during these 8 hours or problem in your submariner.
try to swing your hand wearing the submariner several times every half hour to make sure you have enough activity to turn the rotor.

What are you doing for two hours?

If you are sitting at a desk, yes you will need to wind it

I can wear my Rolex for a vigorous hour walk with full arm swings once a day and it stays fully wound and will then run for 60 hours if set down. If you do not swing your arms and rotate your wrist the watch is not being would no matter how long you wear it. When you look to see the time give your wrist a strong rotation inwards.

Mostly sitting on the desk. Probably walking and driving is the only movement for the watch.

Then you will need to wind it as the rotor is not moving enough to maintain spring tension

Just wind it and wear it. If you find it’s lost power, just reset it and rewind it and put it back on.

This isn’t complicated.
