It's an interesting issue about 6 mile walks. On average, a person takes about 2,000 steps to walk one mile. Therefore, for a 6-mile walk, an average male would take approximately 12,000 steps.

That means the watch gets 6,000 arm swings of about 60° per swing.

Maybe a watchmaker can do the rotor math using Rolex's specs - but if 12,000 steps per day won't fully wind a mainspring, then the horology designers need some better technology (or switch to quartz and close their movement atelier).
