So I just picked up a Seiko Astron from the sale at Lextempus.com and have a quick question about charging.
It came to me on "E" I'm guessing from sitting in a drawer or safe or something for months.
Everything I read says this is pretty common, and the charging times from an "E" can be significant.
I saw people mentioning they had to wear the watch for weeks sometimes before it came to a full charge.
My problem is, this watch is going to be part of a somewhat large rotation, and I may only want to wear it once every week or two.
Sometimes even less if I'm not traveling.
What's the best way to get a charge going on it, and keep it full when it's not worn often?
I obviously don't want to stuff it into a watch box, but I'm wondering what my options are.
I was thinking of buying one of those stands that people use for Apple watches, and keeping it closer to a window sill so it gets some direct light during the day.
Something like this:

Any thoughts or suggestions on how to go about it?
