Buyer's remorse is not a valid reason for return.From https://www.gearpatrol.com/watches/a76837/complete-guide-to-the-care-and-feeding-of-your-mechanical-watch/ :Unlike a quartz watch, a mechanical timepiece doesn’t get its energy from a battery. Instead, the power that drives the hands around the dial, and also drives any additional complications like a date function, a moonphase or a chronograph, comes from the unwinding of a tightly coiled flat spring. One of the beautiful things about a mechanical watch is that is requires interaction with its owner to function. That coiled mainspring will only provide power for a day or two (or sometimes shorter or longer) if you don’t keep it wound. A handwound watch is the purest form of the mechanical timepiece, which is part of its appeal.
