If you have an automatic watch, then to keep it correctly wound in order to provide you with accurate time, you will need to get an expandable watch winder. An expandable automatic watch winder with digital LCD display will ensure that your watch is always wound, utilizing both clockwise and anticlockwise rotations. It automatically rotates your watch according to one of 5 turn per day (TDP) settings. These are normally 650, 900, 1200, 1500, or 1800.
The expandable watch winder is specifically designed to include rest periods so that your watch does not suffer from over rotation which can cause stress on the parts. The winder will repeat the rotation cycle every day, as long your watch is inside, and it is switched on. The LCD display makes this device easy to use, where you will select the TPD setting that you want, as well as the mode (which is the direction that you want it to turn).
This product comes with an AC adapter as it is electrically powered, but you can also use battery power with 2 size C batteries also included. This device is simple to use. You open the front of the watch winder and pull out the watch holder. Once you have placed your watch around it and pushed it back into the turntable drum, you will plug it in and press the TPD button to first select the desired amount of turns per day. Then you will press the mode button, which allows you to select clockwise, counter clockwise or alternate. The alternate option is recommended to give you the best results and to ensure that as little stress as possible is inflicted on the watch parts. Then, just press the on button. You can leave it on all the time, so that your place your watch into it at the end of the day and it will automatically wind it. Otherwise you can set it each day.
If you want to operate the device with batteries you will need to find a switch at the back and turn it to BAT. To use it with the AC adapter, however, be sure to take the batteries out first, as it is not recommended that you leave the batteries in it while you use it on electrical power.
This watch winder is modern and sleek, but also quiet in operation and the expandable nature allows it to separate into multi units that are all powered by the one AC adapter. With an expandable automatic watch winder with digital LCD display you can ensure that your most prized timepieces always work properly and never lose time. It is a must for any watch enthusiast or collector.
