Except the battery on a quartz watch lasts years, and the battery on an Apple Watch lasts 12-18 hours.

Never mind that most mechanical watches are self-winding.

Self winding just means "needs to have the time reset after 2 days unworn". I wonder if an unworn Apple Watch would last longer?

No, my kinetically charged watch can go weeks unworn without exhausting its charge or losing accuracy.

Not that it matters really. I wear it every day.

So wear it every day, get an device that keeps it wound, or just shake it for 30 seconds a day.

Full disclosure, I'm a mechanical watch nerd, to the point that I enjoy repairing them. So I'm a bit biased towards them.
