Both of my manuals have PR indicators (which is very useful) but typically I wind daily after a shower etc (they are both on leather) one just gets into the habit.
The C8 needs about 100 winds for a full charge from empty, roughly 20 turns per day of charge which is in line with my experience of most HWs, but here the big crown makes winding a breeze.
If you still like the C8, I would highly recommend finding one as they are the equal of anything in the aviation watch space and are unbeatable VFM. I would not be without mine.
