Why does my Automatic Watch run fast?
Let me say first I am not a watch repairman, so I could be wrong.
I do not know the technical reason for this occurrence and I have observed the same
phenomenon....I own an Invicta, a watch I really enjoy, but it took to running fast. I was confused until a friend pointed out that the band was one link to large and I had developed a nervous habit of flipping my wrist and hence the watch back and forth...so in effect I was over winding my watch...
I removed the link and broke the habit and now my watch runs more closely on time.
Though, as we all know automatics are always gaining a few minutes here and there and we are always absent mindedly resetting the thing! ha ha....but on the winder if it is wound a tad bit too much it will gain time, and if running a tad bit slow I suppose it will loose time, though, typically from my observations, if too slow, it simply stops instead of loosing time....this rule is not in stone, but is based on my observations. However keep in mind Automatic Watches are inherently inaccurate!
So when people ask which winder, the question is really how important and how close to the exact time do you wish your watch to stay? So the more money you have to spend on
a quality fully programmable watch winder the better your odds of keeping the time close! http://www.watchcases.com/watch-winder-avanti-1.html
