- What type of watch needs a watch winder?
The watch winders that we carry should be used for automatic watches only. Other watches such as kinetic, battery (quartz) operated, or manual watches should not used with a watch winder.
- How many rotations are needed for my watch?
All automatic watches have different maximum TPDs (Turns Per Day) but on average most high end automatic watches only need 600-1000 TPDs. All of our watch winders are set to accommodate this minimum requirement of TPDs.
- Are the motors silent?
Yes, our motors are silent but since it is a motor that rotates when turned on, we suggest that you place the watch winder away from your head while you sleep because you may hear the slight movement of the motor turning the watch.
- How do I use my watch winder?
Once you have received your new watch winder, simply read the instructions. You may immediately power the winder, choose rotation setting and insert your watch. Your watch will start winding instantly.
- What are the rotations settings for your watch winders?
Most of our watch winders come with 4 settings to wind your watch. The timing vary depending on the model so please refer to your instruction manual.
- How long do I need to wind my watch?
Most watches only need to be wound for several minutes to a few hours. When you remove your watch from the watch winder, most watch brands will run for 24-72 hours. After this your watch will need to wound again. Make sure to wind your watch before the watch stops.
Watches may also have other features such as multiple dials and calendar features. For these watches its best to wind your watch before the watch motor stops to avoid re-calibration.
- Can I manually turn the motor?
No, please do not touch or attempt to manually turn the motor because this will damage your watch winder motor and will void your 1 year warranty.
- Is there a warranty for your watch winders?
Yes there is a 1 year warranty on all watch winders. This covers any problems related to the motor of the watch winder. This will ensure you have a perfectly running watch winder.
- Does your watch winders take batteries?
Yes, we carry battery powered watch winders.
