The Pros and Cons of Using a Watch Winder

The debate over whether watch winders are necessary continues among watch enthusiasts. Watch winders are mechanisms that mimic the actions of a human wrist, keeping the movement of an automatic watch greased and functioning. Proponents argue that winders are convenient and necessary for multifunction timepieces, while detractors believe that continuous motion can cause wear and tear. Some watch owners enjoy the ritual of setting their watch's time manually. When considering a winder, it is important to choose one with the right settings and verify that the motor is shielded to prevent magnetization. Ultimately, the decision to use a watch winder is a personal one based on individual preferences and needs.
