If you wear an automatic watch every day, a watch winder will be a convenient tool to own. And if you have more than one automatic watch, it becomes more of a must-have than mere convenience. An automatic watch runs on kinetic energy or energy that it gets from its own motion. This means if the watch is not on your arm, it will slowly lose energy and stop running. While most automatic watches can be hand-wound, experts say that frequent hand-winding will wear out the components.

Our Top Picks

The best watch winders come in a wide range of prices from less than $100 to thousands. They may keep your watch collection wound. Yet another good reason to have a watch winder is a safe and attractive display for your watches. After size, other features to consider are looks, winding programs, a quiet motor, quality, and value. Let our collection of the Best Watch Winders help eliminate the guesswork out of finding the best watch winder for you.
