Evening all, Looking for any recommendations for a watch winder available in the UK as I am thinking that constantly re-setting the time when I have not worn a watch for a while cannot be good for it. Thanks in advance.
I've heard that it is actually worse to keep a watch on a winder for long periods of time. I usually try to take out all my mechanical watches once a month and give them a wind or the Seiko shuffle just to keep the movement lubricated. I am still in the honeymoon phase with my Seamaster 300 trilogy, but once that wears off I might go to monthly rotations. If you do get a watch winder find one with built in rest periods.
Any watch without a day/date feature is no big deal to set and won't wear out the watch. There is a good post by @Archer somewhere on the forum about watch winders. It has been discussed here many times and technology has not changed since the last time someone posted about it. Try using the search feature on the site.
Wouldn't use one unless I had a ultra complicated one to set with a moon phase. ( I'm lucky as most of my watches don't even have a date )
