I wind it manually to get it going.
But the Sistem51 winds backwards, which many don’t realize, and which isn’t obvious from the noises it makes.
Running five or six miles does a pretty good job of winding it the rest of the way. If I use an elliptical machine, I have to wind it fully manually. But running on a treadmill or on the road engages the rotor. Piriformis Syndrome has me trapped to the elliptical for the moment, but four real runs a week is enough to keep it going.

I guess this is your workout watch but not the outfit 😜
Rolex sport in steel looks like a "sensible" option 👍🏻
I do not want to know how slowly I am running.
Thus, I do not wear a watch while exercising.
Wow, that's brave!
I would be worried all the time with it on the wrist. And also concerned about overstretching the bracelet while lifting weights.
LOL - I only do the elliptical, and slowly.
I don’t even think the auto adjust link Extended once when I was working out.
I agree, elliptical is not too dangerous 😅
And the watch can help you with the motivation 😛
Yes. For two equally absurd reasons
First, I like to sleep with a watch with lume (I.e., sports Rolex) but don’t like wearing watches with metal straps to work. Working out with my “sleep” watch keeps it wound. Second, my electronic companion is for heart rate. The watch allows me to see th...
No absurd reasons at all for me
I used to sleep with my watch as well, so high visibility in the dark was a strong requirement. And keeping watches running can be a pain sometimes.
Of course
... as my workout only consists of weightlifting beer glasses I need to know when to go to bed.
Absolutely!
I walk, Run and Swim wearing my Rolex GMT from 1986. Great “work-out” watch. ...

Thanks for your response Rick 👍🏻
I'm sorry about your syndrome, I suffer from something similar and know how uncomfortable it is, good luck!
It looks like you train hard 😉
Is it titanium? A light watch is convenient if you want to wear one during the training.
The watch is made of
steel. I work out only for kicks. When I was younger I used to have goals in working out.
I didn't use to, but I started a few months ago and realized that I prefer to do it without a watch
I was curious to know what other Purists do 😉
Of course!!
Usually just old thing this for outdoorsy stuff, but if I go to the gym I’ll wear something fancy. Got to make a good impression. ...
Not Anymore!
20 years ago I wore my PP5107 to the gym and dropped it while getting changed, not amused! More recently I knocked my PP5711, so now no more watches get near a gym.
