How many times should you press the push buttons on your watch if you don't press them often?

If you do not press the buttons at all, may i conclude you are a collector rather than a user?
Donīt you set the watches in your collection? It would drive me mad if they all showed different times...

Actually, I don't collect watches. I am a watch user. All my watches are used and abused. And, what I meant is. Sometimes, I don't do anything with the watch features. and just use it to tell time. In a week, I might just press one button, but the rest I don't press much. That is what I mean. Once your watch is set. You basically just look at the time. If you don't count getting your watch wet all the time.

I don't press my G-Shock buttons, at all. In fact, I don't even use any of the functions, including the EL Light. So far so good no spoiled buttons yet.

If you don't press them "at all", how do you know they aren't spoiled

I put it to you sir ,that you've been pressing them on the sly when no-one's looking just to check they're not spoiled

Not a collector. My GWF1000 Frogman is my (almost) daily watch. However I just don't see the need or the situation arise where I need to use any functions. Most people say I'm better off with a mechanical automatic watch, which I highly agree.

Only time I use the EL Light is, all I can remember is in the cinema.

Speaking of which, I just went to press my Frogman buttons. LOL! What I initially meant was, no water resistance problems so far as a spoiled button gasket would result in water resistance failure. Although I don't press my G-Shock buttons, none of them have any water resistance or any other button related problems as of now.

My exact sentiments.

It's important to press the buttons on Mudman 9000 & 9010 models quite often, so your fingers and thumbs get a good workout and become proficient at physical action.
