Sakdds300 52 Posted November 1, 2013 Grabbed this watch winder recently to keep the dress watch humming along during the week. I decided to put the everyday workhorse on the winder at night, as well, since I do not wear my watch at work and it can sit idle for 8 hours or more. I used to wind both watches each night before bed, to keep them running. After using the winder I noticed that my GMT II workhorse is gaining a few seconds a day, where before the winder it was spot on, after my equilibration on the hairspring. I prefer the winder so that I am not constantly unscrewing and screwing crowns with the need to hand wind the pieces. My question is, has anyone seen this type of effect on accuracy while using a watch winder? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LightGeek 25 Posted November 7, 2013 Accuracy also highly depends on the position. Perhaps in that position it's normal for that watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
myaz 3 Posted November 7, 2013 Winder might also keep the watch wound closer to the maximum for longer periods of time versus being idle for 8 hours, affecting the power to the gear train. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
