Should I wind my Automatic before putting it on winder?

User_Name: Chad

Question:
Can I just place my automatic watch on my watch winder or do I need to wind it first?

Answer:
Excellent question. Yes you are correct you need to wind the watch before placing the watch on your watch winder.

How to wind?

Simply pull the stem. Wind the watch 40 times. (That is 40 half turns of the stem.)
Place the watch on the watch winder and you will never have an issue with the watch winder failing to keep the watch wound. A watch must be at least 80% wound for any winder to keep it wound.

(Read your watches directions and follow their recommendations if they say anything different, watches vary but 99% of watches this rule will work for!)
