Lots of watch collectors nowadays have always inquire: what is classified as a real " Automatic Watch winder"? It is unfortunate to see so many watch winders manufacturers or sellers that have widely abuse and mis-use the term "Automatic Watch Winders".

As the term implies, "automatic" shall mean automatic, with little human intervention needed. Anytime a watch winder product is not controlled by an IC micro-processor circuit, and requires users to manually adjust the winding function every time they use the winder, then it is NOT an automatic watch winder.

And...

Even if a winder is equipped and controlled by a micro-processor circuit, it should be able to perform the following minimum set of functions before it can be classified as an Automatic Watch Winder:

Automatically provide the industry standard "Turn-and-Rest" function without any types of external timer or control;

Automatically control the rotation timing cycle and duration; again, without any types of external timer or plug-in control;

Automatically turn OFF the watch winder unit once the complete winding program has completed;

Automatically turn ON the watch winder unit in a pre-determined duration. So that your watch can be fully wound up all the time, without any human intervention needed. That is, the user doesn't have to worry when to turn ON/OFF the winder unit. It should all be controlled by the internal IC circuit automatically.

The above automatic functions are not just "convenient" features, but are also required so as to enhance the useful mechanical life of your fine timepiece.

It is essential for watch collectors and owners to investigate thoroughly before finalize the decision in purchasing a watch winder
