    I know this may seem like a crass and juvenile topic but as many are stuck at home perhaps it will be interesting to some. Currently my house has watches dotted all over it, I'm changing my watch several times a day. In the past couple of months I've bought a few and sold a few, expanded my strap collection at the same time.

    When swapping out a bracelet to a strap yesterday I popped the bracelet in the ultra sonic cleaner. This made me think, this is one of the watch related gadgets that I have bought that I use the most.

    So the goal of this thread is to find out what people are using/not using, and importantly do I need one too?

    I'll go first.

    Great: ultrasonic cleaner
    Meh : Watch winders, have several, all sit unused
    Need : timergraph. Dont know what I'd do with it, but feel I need it.

    Thread may die on the vine, or maybe we learn of the thing that is missing in our lives.

    Thanks

    As a vintage collector, along with case back openers, I find both a blacklight and radiation detector to be invaluable.

    A crown winder is surprisingly handy for recessed, hidden, or small crowns.
