If the automatic mechanical watch stops, it proves that the power is gone. In this case, you need to gently swing back and forth for a few minutes or manually wind the winder to prevent the parts from being in a static state for a long time to ensure the running performance of the watch. It is also designed and developed precisely according to the principle of mechanical watch operation, which is the function of the watch winder.

1. Under what circumstances should I use a watch winder

Many watch friends of the aforementioned automatic mechanical watches will stop the watch if they have insufficient exercise. At this time, it is necessary to have a watch winder. There are also perpetual calendars or watches with more complicated adjustments, which are not often placed. In this case, a good watch winder is needed.

I need to use a watch winder. Why do some people report that there is a problem with the watch when using a watch winder? This is actually the quality of the watch winder. Some watch winders are not of good quality and the frequency of rotation may be incorrect. The movement has a certain degree of damage, and it may also scratch the watch case. Therefore, when buying a watch winder, you must not be cheap, so as not to lose money due to small problems. In addition to the quality of the winder itself, some people use the watch. The problem with the meter may also be improper use, so what should be paid attention to when using the watch winder?

2. Don't overuse

Long-term stoppage will cause damage to the watch movement, and gears will be damaged if they are not running for a long time, so long-term continuous walking will naturally cause wear and tear on the gears, changing the service life, and the barrel has been in a tight state for a long time and will cause a breakdown. Under the circumstances, it is the most ideal state to wind the automatic mechanical watch to 80%-90%.

3. The antimagnetic of the watch winder is very important

When the motor rotates, it will generate a magnetic field and diverge magnetic waves. The low-quality watch winder is not equipped with a magnetic shield. Although the watch has anti-magnetic function, if it is used for a long time, it will inevitably have the risk of magnetism. High-end watch winders are not only set in the motor Anti-magnetic cover, place the watch box and place the anti-magnetic cover to resist the external magnetic field just like the refrigerator protects food.
