The 10 best watch winders for less than 500 euros

You can use a watch winder to wind your automatic watches when you are not wearing them, for example if you have multiple automatic watches. After all, you can only wear one at a time. The watch winder makes a rotating movement and mimics the movement of your wrist, giving the movement inside the automatic watch energy. Some watch winders can wind 1 watch some others more automatic watches. The handy thing about a watch winder is that it is a nice storage place and that you do not have to set your watches properly in time, date and other functions. Most watch winders run according to a program. As a result, a watch winder only has to run for a few minutes, then temporarily stop and then resume this cycle. In this way, a natural wrist movement is simulated. The watch does not have to be in motion for 24 hours, because this is also not the case when you wear the watch yourself around your wrist. Then you also alternate moments of movement with standstill.
