Do You Really Need A Watch Winder? Yes Or No?
About this video
Sacawa explains what watch winders are, how they work, and whether they’re necessary for watch owners. He discusses the difference between automatic and manual watches, outlines scenarios where a watch winder might be useful, and shares his personal experience with a Barrington model that he uses for his Rolex GMT Master.
Key takeaways
- Sacawa argues watch winders are only necessary for automatic watches, not manual-winding watches, and whether you need one depends on your personal habits and preferences
- Sacawa recommends a watch winder if you rotate through multiple watches, own complicated watches with difficult-to-set functions, or enjoy gadgets
- Sacawa suggests using a power adapter rather than batteries and notes that watch winders can be connected together to share one power source
