Do you need to wind a mechanical watch every day?
Yes, your watch will run better if you do. Just like a car should not be left sitting a watch should not be left sitting for extended periods of time.
"You always get better performance from a watch when it's fully wound than when it's wound down," says Daniel Fenwick, technical manager at Swatch Group (formerly SMH) Customer Service in Lancaster, Pa. "It's best to wind it even if you don't intend to wear it. That will prevent the movement's lubricants from congealing. This doesn't, of course, apply to an automatic, or self-winding watch. This type of watch should be [hand] wound initially to get it started. If the wearer is reasonably active and wears the watch for 12 to 15 hours a day, it will remain fully wound" Fenwick says.

Why all the fuss you ask?
Well if you are anything like me you just take it off and throw it some where it's a watch right?
No!
It is actually a delicate piece of machinery that keeps us up to date. So lets keep it running properly and keep it beautiful if you can not wind your watches daily then
buy a winder and let us keep your time for you!
