Which watch winders do you recommend?

Post by AndroidIsAwesome »

I've come to the point in my collection where I need a watch winder to start wearing my pieces more often (yes I'm lazy and have gotten sick of winding a new watch up everyday). I've been using a $25 Swiss legend Plastic winder but it kinda sucks. It's loud and sometimes doesn't even keep my watch wound. I have $150 CAD to spend on Amazon and I'm curious if any of you have recommendations. Obviously wolf would be the best but they are hella expensive for just a motor basically.

To be honest with my electrical/computer engineering knowledge I could just make my own- but time is money haha.

I had a $50 Amazon dual winder that had three speed settings and wound in either direction or combo of directions. I highly recommend them. There’s no need for an expensive winder.

This is yet another reason NOT to wear a different watch everyday day. Wind it up, put it on, and enjoy it for several days, or even a week. Doubt anyone would notice or care anyway

I have a few different winders, and of them I would recommend this one. It is well-made, quiet, low amount of detectable magnetism, and has different programs and so far has functioned flawlessly. They have a few smaller models for a bit less, which may fit your budget.




Here is a smaller one for $150:




Even smaller for $75:
