I’ve had a Seiko Automatic on my wrist almost every day for the past ~6 years. First was a SKX023, then probably within the last couple of years, a SKX007. I loved the simple looks and ruggedness, but I have always been bothered by it’s time keeping. I know it’s probably because I am not wearing it enough, ranging from 0 to ~8 hours a day. But I think I am fed up with constantly correcting the time (couple minutes behind every few days).

I don’t know if I should get a winding box to keep it in when I am not wearing it, or if I should stay away from automatics in general.

I really want something that can last me a lifetime, but I don’t think I can keep up with the constant maintenance.
