Watchwinder Turns per day

[Tools]

Recommended settings of 650 is an average.... not an absolute.

If the minimum is 780 on your winder then the extra 130 turns probably won't amount to a hill of beans in the end..

So, I'm with padi on this one....it won't hurt anything because that is what the clutch was designed to do, but why use a winder at all if you are worried about extra wear...

Sorry to dig this up out of the grave. I recently bought a winder that rotates up to two watches for two minutes (approximately 15 turns), then rests for six minutes and repeats. 1440 minutes per day means the watch has 180 rotation rounds with 15 turns per session, that's 2700 turn!!!

Now, I'm not worried about wear and would gladly consider wearing any of my two watches 24/7, or simulate it. But, would this "amount to a hill of beans in the end.."? There is one setting for winding non stop, 5 minutes in each direction. With approximately 7 turns per minute, 90 minutes of rotating non stop would be enough to have 650 tpd, should I consider manipulating this instead?
