Question: Do I need a winder for my Quartz Watches?
Answer: No you do not need a winder for a quartz watch. A quartz watch is generally powered by some sort of electricity, usually a battery. Therefore it does not need wound like an automatic watch or mechanical stem wound watch. You should put your Quartz Watches into a watch case however to protect them from dust and moisture and other potential damage.
