Watch winders, do you really need one? Fact and Fiction explained 

I put my quartz and manual winds on the ferris wheel winder just so they don't feel like they are missing out on the ride 🎡😢

Im sorry i only caught the last 30 seconds of this video ... so as a professional, you whole heartedly agree that a watch winder is an absolute necessity ? I knew it ! 😉🍻

That ending though. LOL

I have a two watch winder, I like it as it’s a nice display case, and as I rotate my watches on my wrist so it saves having to manually wind them.

Thank you, I have been thinking about a watch winder for a while. You have saved me the money .

Thank you very much for clarifying the use or need of a watch winder. Much appreciated.

The last 30 seconds had me chuckling 😂

Loved this guy... u my mate are awesome

great that you cleared this topic. bedankt

Thanks for the info, I love the ending!

Outstanding!! Winders do look great. I have few automatics and I know that I really don't need winder but still..

I like a watch winder because I wear different watches every day and don't want to reset the complications.

Thanks for this video, it's very useful. 👍

Can you do a similar ending for buying a Lange? It might help convince someone for me haha.

great ending!

My recent experience (fwiw): I have Sinn 556 (automatic) with "top" sellita calbire SW200-1 (but not certified by COSC). I'd wear my Sinn everyday, and put it on the shelf overnight after a gentle manual wind. It ran pretty good, slow 1 or 2 sec per day, and day to day variance of about 0.5 sec, within COSC standards. Past 2 weeks, I left it on winder but did check its accuracy every evening. While continually on the winder it's been running +/- 0.25 sec / day with variance of < 0.1 sec /day. My winder is Orbita Sparta1. PS I have an older Orbita at least 10 years old where I keep another automatic watch, and both that watch and Orbita run great. Both watches have date complications and it's convenient to use the winder in order to have the date always correct except for the months with 30 days (& Feb). Is a winder necessary, no IMO, but I like using a winder.

I primarily wear 2 automatics. One Mon-Fri to the office, and my diver which I wear on the weekends. The winder has saved me a lot of time, not having to reset the time on a regular basis.

Also for automatic watchmakers without the possibility of manual winding

Love the logic!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

My Invicta Pro Divers with date complication LOVE their continuous JOY RIDE on their WATCH CAROUSEL! Can you hear them screaming "YEAH!" happily? Meanwhile my Tandorio Flieger is always on my wrist, and the Tandorio homage of the MoD W10 Hamilton/CWC tonneau is another Sunday piece, that occupies the 3rd seat on the carousel, so it stays balanced. All have an NH35A ticking away inside.

I use a watch winder for my GMT and my wife's DJ31 as they both only receive about 8-16 hours wear per week and it saves me having to reset UK time/date and New York time on my GMT. I have other rolex watches in my collection which get rarely worn and rather than wind them I put them in the winder every 2 months. My daily wear is a DJ41 and it doesn't need the watch winder. The reason I invested in a winder was I was concerned about the wear on my watches from reseting time and date. I would love or hear your opinion.

Hi Kelle and all on site caught you live for once Regards from central east coast nsw Australia John

Thank you for the ending - I now have two , 4 watch , watch winders in my Study because my wife loves me and watched the part 2 ending of this video - If we ever meet I will get you a nice beer... Brilliant....

Maybe in a next stream, can you show a collection of watches that passes the workshop? Or maybe a wristwatch check before the stream 😎😅

if you have modern synthetic oils in the watch then only a winder is useful if you swap watches regularly and you wont need to keep setting time, date for the stopped watches

I would wear the automatic on my own wrist, sometimes I had a few up my arm to test them.

True class, he didn't even put a buy it here link. :-)

I have one for my watch, which is a perpetual calendar

Correct again . Master. It depends. Of how many automatic watches you have. The technique you should know the max time of the watch moved without winding ... ❤😂

The alternative ending my wife's going "what's a watch winder??? " my watch box has 3 of them and she's never noticed 😂

I was going to buy one until watching this video. I have a 7 day a week watch, a once or twice a year watch, and a special occasion watch. The occasional watch is just a date/day/time watch. The once/twice a year is just time. Maybe when I have a fancy watch, then I will get one

honestly lol.. I'd just get it to showcase my watches in a cool way

I have a triple-date Omega Speedy that's been mostly sitting for the past 15 years or so... don't know if I should even touch it or service first. What are the good oils nowdays?

I use the watch carrousel winder for 24 hrs after repair's and use a seiko kinetic for my 6 kinetics monthly to keep the battery's up.

Brilliant 😂

Interesting stuff Kalle. You get a lot of presents You earn it!

My question would rather be is it better for the watch to put it into a watchwinder or to wind it per hand? There are quite the number of people around that claim handwinding an automatic watch would damage it over time.

I am going to be one

😂 great video.

Very useful video, very illustrative, but didn't understand your last argument in favor of watch winders...

HAHAHAHHAHAHA THANKS FOR THE ENDING IT WORRKEEDD👌👌👌😂😂

Watch winders don't work on Kinetic watches, but, a tumble drier on a cool temperature setting will charge the capacitor if the watch is wrapped in a thick work sock and is given about a 30 minute ride. Simple!

But what about the need to have to always be resetting the date and time of watches that aren't used for days or weeks? Might that be considered to adding to the wear and tear of the movement?

The best watch winder is called the Thumb-N-Fingers. 😋

I also leave my car running 24/7 in the garage…………

I use winders so I don’t have to set my watches every time I wear them. I only Use them for a short time every day

I like re setting my day date etc 🤣🤣🤣

Dear Chronoglide, do you agree with the argument that a watchwinder puts significant wear and tear on a movement? Or is it not worth worrying about that?

How and where can someone learn watch repair ?

If I've got a watch in rotation that doesn't have a quick date, I use my one winder. Other than that, I let them run down. But no, I don't neeeeed a winder.

Now he's got me really confused I don't know what I watched whether he likes them or he doesn't like them.....😳😳😳

😂😂😂

🤣🤣🤣

Thanks, I'll cut the last 30 sec and send it to my girlfriend 🤣

Isn’t this why you just buy….quartz???

Do you want a cool thing that spins watches around if they're useful or not? YES Do you want a watch winder for your vertical clutch chronos? NO they will break anyway, throw them out.

Your nose will grow.
