Unlike digital and quartz wristwatches, regular automatic watch maintenance is required for any self-winding timepiece, whether it be a pilot watch / aviator watch, diver watch, or chronograph watch. But don't get the wrong impression; this does not mean that watches with automatic movement are prone to damage or malfunction. It is only because they are designed with mechanical clockwork, which every horologist would describe as rather complicated and traditional. How you should keep them in good working condition will be different from the way you usually treat your quartz timepieces. Automatic wristwatches basically need to be winded every two days. On the other hand, you can practically ignore a digital timepiece since it will continue to run anyway until its battery is used up.
