There are automated watch winders.

It does four at a time so a guy can invite three friends over for a winding
party.

I had a Rolex and didn't have any better time than I had with a Timex. Sold
it and had a party and haven't worn a watch since.

had to hunt down your reply that was placed out of sequence.... but anyway,
"better" is subjective and needing to "rethink" not throwing away a rolex
because the battery is dead would only be necessary if none of them had
batteries. anyway, self-winding watches are nothing new, i have an old timex
from the early 70's that is self-winding...

but...to make you happy, you wouldn't throw away that old vw when a tire
goes flat... please don't tell me the better ones don't have tires, or i'm
way out of the loop...

someone more watch savy than myself has informed me that although rolex has
made battery powered watches in the past(since discontinued) nearly all(not
all, ever) were either wind up or self winding... but now that we've
*over-analyzed* a simple statement, i'll point out that everyone got the
point...<G>

All you need is a bottle or two of good spirits, and things will start
looking better
