It's not a "charge" since automatic watches are completely mechanical. Simply wind it every morning and you'll be fine. Takes maybe 2-3 seconds. If you have several that you rotate you could always get a watch winder.

How do you wind an automatic? I have the military version of that seiko.

With any automatic I've seen you are just able to wind the crown clockwise (usually with it fully depressed). I've never owned a seiko though, but I know this works with Omega, IWC, JLC, Patek etc.

Seiko automatics don't wind via the crown.

If its similar to the seiko 5 I have you don't 'wind it,' not in the traditional sense at least. It 'winds' itself using your body motion, so either wear it or just shake it for a min or two every once in a while.

Right, but with most automatics you can still fully wind them with the crown. Not sure why you can't with a seiko.

I'm guessing that they cut a few extra things to keep the price low.
