Do You Really Need A Watch Winder? Yes Or No?

Күн бұрын

Today's video is all about watch winders. What is a watch winder? How do they work? And most importantly, do you actually need one?
A watch winder can be a nice item to have, however whether or not you actually need one is a personal choice. It may seem obvious, but watch winders only work for watches with automatic movements. If you've got a manually-winding watch, a watch winder will do absolutely nothing for you. The watch winder keeps an automatic watch running by turning the watch every so often, which pivots the rotor and therefore, keeps the power reserve topped off.
Reasons you might want a watch winder:
1. You like to "set and forget".
2. You have watch with lots of complications, like a perpetual calendar with moon phase (and an automatic movement).
3. You like gadgets.
One BIG reason you might NOT want a watch winder:
1. You like the act of actually winding and setting your watch.
I am actually one of those people who likes to wind my watch. I like the connection to something mechanical. I like hearing the gears turn. But--big BUT--one of my watches can be a pain in the you know what to set, especially if if hasn't been running for a few weeks. Watch the video to see what I'm talking about!

1:57 Any automatic watch that has a screw-down crown and is worn infrequently (i.e. beyond the duration of mainspring reserve power should be paired with a watch winder. The reason goes beyond the hassles of resetting the date on a no- quickset date movement of the older GMT Masters. The threads on a screw-down crown and the tube can quickly wear out. Replacing that tube (or worse still along with a new crown) can be very expensive if you happen to own a Rolex. Much cheaper to buy a watch winder!

I made mine, a Poor man's version: attach a long strong string or twine to ceiling with a carbiner attached to the other end. Any other secure hook will do. Close the strap buckle and attach to the hook end. Now swing it like a pendulum and it will wind up your automatic watch. I experimented with my watch Winder pendulum. Normally, about 5 full swings fully winds up my Seiko with the specified 37 hour reserve.

@tykjpelk 2 жыл бұрын

I made my own as well, but fully automatic and high capacity: It's basically a tupperware container attached to a long piece of string, like you do, but I keep it hanging from the clothesline outside. When it blows, which is always around here, it swings around and winds my watches. It can take as many watches as I can fit in the container.

I have a Stauer wrist watch and had it for about 15 years. Love it. Bought it new and a winder. Winder died after a couple years. I wear it occasionally and after it died, realized it was easier to reset the watch. Used the winder to store watch but recently noticed the holder that holds the watch started deteriorating and got sticky. Threw that part out. Keep watch int the winder box.

I also recommend Wolf winder, I have the Wolf Roadster Module Single Watch Winder with 3 watch Storage, black pleather outside and a black and brown wood finish display inside, I’ve had mine for over 4 years now runs daily with no problems(KNOCK ON WOOD). Sure it keeps my automatics running with the correct time & date which I can set on my own, but I also love it for the display factor, I am contemplating getting another one🙏🏾😌Be Safe;-).

I have several watch winders by Orbita and by Wolf. I've had some cheap/inexpensive units near the beginning of my watch journey but they all died after a year or two.

For a watch with the ETA movements, a watch winder is highly suggested as hand winding can break the watch. I have a Hamilton with an ETA movement, I did hand wind the watch when not being worn. I am waiting on delivery of the materials to send the watch back to them for warranty repair due to hand winding. I have since ordered a watch winder that will be delivered on 03/27/2021. I will be using this on my Tissot as well since it is the Gentleman Powermatic 80 Silicum which is derived from an ETA movement.

@Nafregamisrocanob 4 жыл бұрын

Rolex actually incorporated a quick date adjust feature in many of their 70's and 80's watches (vintage in today's lingo). I know this works on their day-datejust models, but not sure on the GMT you own. 1. advance the hour hand to 11:59 pm i.e., right before the date changes. 2. advance the time to 2 am, which causes the date to change. 3. Now reverse the time back past 12 midnight to 11 pm (the date should not have reverted, just the time). Now advance the time past 12 midnight again which causes the date to advance again.......repeat until you get the proper date. On day-datejust watch this only works for the date not the day so you must carefully choreograph both the day and the date to get it right.

I started using Citizen Eco-Watches when I realized I’d paid more for watch replacements than for the original watch. Faces are light sponges, any light. Been very happy with their perpetual chronographs. Have three, two tanks and a black round diver. Always correct date, can auto switch between two time zones, alarms, and good looking. 9 mo power reserve, I just leave them near a window sill for some light when not wearing. Bought the first 17 years ago, has kept perfect time since day one, never opened for any reason. Others more recent, same reliability.

@jil2936 Жыл бұрын

there is no hassle. its just things that people overthink. for instance, they say you should have a watch winder... not really. did they have tons of watch winders at the store you bought the watch from? the answer is no. the trick is to have it stop at a convenient time for you. for instance when it lose power and stops and you decided not to wear it. just move it a bit so the watch starts again. do it little by little until it stops on a time thats convenient for you. for me, i make it stop at "8:30"ish... becuse at any given day im already awake that time and if i decide to use the watch, ill just move it when its on the exact time when it stopped. i dont even bother with day/date.. so there. no need to open the watch if you dilo it that way

I have a dual-powered ( battery & mains) winder that I only use occasionally. I wear the automatic watch daily in the summer, so it doesn't need winding, unless I get several days(of rain) when I can't leave the house, so I wind the watch on those occasions. I take the winder on trips, because I may not be able to wear the automatic watch if I'm using the chronograph or dress watches instead.

For what’s its worth, I’ve heard from several watchmakers and repairers that watch winders are a really, really BAD idea!

im going to say that rotor pivots are going to wear out in 10 years instead of twenty years on a winder

I hang my Rolex on my dog’s collar to keep it wound. Bonus: now my dog is never late.

I have two an expensive one and a cheap one I picked up on Amazon. Since I have retired I use them less because like the made said it nice to interact with my collection.(6) and I have the time. When I worked and traveled I found them useful. But I'm reminder of something a great Watch Expert said. When your watch is on the winder the winder is enjoying your watch not you. The winder is wearing out your watch. Modern watched can sit awhile not running it does them no harm.

Euhm... is it not possible to advance the date more quickly on your GMT by going back (to approx 9 pm) and forward through 12 (midnight) several times? It works on my 50’s Universal Geneve. That way at least, you don’t need to run through 24 hours 😳
