Why does my watch winder stop sometimes? Is it defective?
No. The winder uses intermittent rotation (e.g., 6–18 min pauses) to mimic wrist movement and prevent overwinding. These stops are intentional, not a defect.
My watch stops even in the winder. What should I do?
Manually wind your watch 20–40 times before placing it, and fully wind it once a week. The winder is an auxiliary tool, not a replacement for wearing or initial power.
Why does one watch stop in the winder but the other works?
Fully wind both watches manually first. Also check the stopped watch’s size (dial <47mm, thickness <28mm). Oversized or heavy watches may not sit properly on the mechanism.
The turns seem inconsistent. Is it defective?
No. The winder uses programmed rest cycles, not continuous spinning. This protects your watch’s movement. Fully wind your watch before placing it to ensure it has enough initial power.
Is this watch winder anti-magnetic?
No,This winder is not anti-magnetic and isn't recommended for watches sensitive to magnetic fields. If your mechanical or quartz watch is magnetically sensitive, please use a different winder.
Does this need to stay plugged in? Is there a battery?
Yes, it must stay plugged in. There is no built-in battery and no rechargeable function. Required power is 3V-9V, 0.5A. A connection cable is included, but a power adapter is NOT included.
The winder will not rotate at all. What should I check first?
Check the gear adjustment switch on the back of the unit. If it is in the OFF position the winder will not operate. Move it to Gear B or Gear L, then confirm the power cord is fully connected.
What size watch will fit in this winder?
Dial diameter under 47mm, case thickness under 28mm, strap circumference 175-195mm. It cannot hold two 58mm dial watches at the same time. Please measure your watch before purchasing.
Will this work with a quartz or solar watch?
No. This winder is for AUTOMATIC (self-winding) mechanical watches only. It is not suitable for Quartz, Seiko Kinetic, or Citizen Eco-Drive watches, which do not wind through motion.
What is the TPD of this winder?
This winder operates at 970-2430 TPD (Turns Per Day). Please check your watch's own instruction manual for its required TPD and rotation direction, then select Mode B or Mode L accordingly.
