Mainspring exercise
many have pointed out that for better accuracy,its better to keep the watch fully winded/constant torque.
What about for longevity of the say automatic mainspring/watch? Is it better to let the mainsping nearly fully winded down and up again/"exercises" to be stronger? over the power reserve duration--say wear/wind it just before zero power reserve every 2 days-normal automatic watches/PR duration? or still better to wear fully winded most of the time?
I just love to see the PR indicator moves/goes up&down.
thanks,

I don't know how much it matters with modern mainsprings.
I have read that full unwinding and rewinding may accelerate wear; I have also read that keeping the watch fully wound at all times may strain the mainspring. As a result, for watches that I wear frequently, I tend to use a winder with settings that allow...
