Watch Winder Box

In the beginning I thought it’s super essential but its not, it’s nice to have but I don’t think it’s necessary. It’s vital when you have a super complicated watch and it’s a pain to adjust the time then, Yes it’s vital in my book. I find most winders are bulky and can only hold a few watches, unless you have a big enough space for winders I guess it’s ok…

To each their own, but (and I'll preface this with I've never owned one) the only situation I would find one useful is like @Ichibunz said, if I had a super complicated watch that required more than about a minute to re-setup the time/date/calendar/moonphase complications. 

I tend to have the moon phase and GMTs on winders.  The simple time only sit in a watch case.

That’s what I was thinking as well.   Thank you fir the great insight.  

That’s a great idea.   Store most and rotate the ones you are using.   Thank you.  

Thank you.    

This is helping a ton.   Thank you 

I'd like one as it's a pain to set anything with more than a date complication. Day date could maybe do with one but I can just about live with it!

I actually like winding and setting my watch in the morning, so they're not really important to me.

i agree with that.  Maybe store most in a box and have a winder or two.  

Thank you.   I don’t mind either 

I picked up a humidifier motor and transformer to build a multi watch winder. Its the only thing slow enough to work but strong enough to spin a bunch of watches.

I have a multi-watch winder. I'll turn on the winder for specific watches to keep them going if I have plans to wear a few of them throughout the week (I don't need to wind every watch that's in the there). If not, it's OK to just keep them stored in there without turning the winder on.

That sounds awesome.   I’d like to see it if you have pics.  

Thank you 

My gf got me one as a gift and I like it. But I don’t think it’s essential. Id consider it a cool luxury.

Unless you have watches like perpetual calendars that can be difficult to set, there really isn't a need for winders. I have an Orbita winder - it looks nice, and makes a decent display for a watch, but I rarely use it. I certainly wouldn't waste any money on another one. 

Good answer, #ichibunz. I do have the room, so have two winders, 16 slots. 10 slots are mine, six to my wife. My wife & I have a number of moon phase watches and GMTs, so similar idea to the above. We also keep our Grand Seiko Spring drives on the winder - since they are so accurate, its fun to see how good they are over time. 

do you have plans by chance or a DIY of it? sounds like something right up my alley. 

I have a double and a quad and could use one more.  I think they are good for automatic movement watches you want to pick up and wear without setting.  The exception is chronographs with vertical clutches.  It turs out that the clutches wear out quicker if you keep these watches wound at all times.
