I have heard so many complaints about watches not winding like they were supposed to. I think you did a great job of explaining some of the main issues!

Rahul,

Thank you for adding that comment. I should have mentioned that an automatic watch can be manually wound as well and if it stops it is a good idea to give it about 20 winds before you put it on. The trouble is that customers who complain about their watch stopping because they are not active enough usually want a watch they don’t have to bother with winding and don’t accept that as a solution.

For myself, I love automatics! Most of the ones I encounter present few problems but there are the occasional encounters that require a special touch.

Nice post! You should be aware that most self-winding watches of today can also be manually wound.

Thanks, Speedmaster

Sometimes I like to just write about the stuff I encounter every day.
