Got a question for the NH35A movement

It’s an automatic watch just wind it 5 or 10 times, your wrist movement will do the rest of the work.

I've been collecting for years and always wind my autos 30-35 winds from dead stop. Never a problem and never,ever felt any resistance as automatics have a "clutch" to prevent overwinding.

Looking at various manufacturer manuals anywhere from 15 to 40 winds are recommended.

I have an Orient Star w/power reserve that requires about 45 turns to reach full.

Modern automatic movements have a c̶l̶u̶t̶c̶h̶ [edit: should be bridle per ayadai's post] that prevents over-winding & on many movements you can hear it "click" when you've fully wound the watch. I have only 1 watch w/a NH35 & (like the NE15) I don't recall it making an audible click (perhaps it's too quiet). TezzaT is correct that there's really no reason to manually wind an automatic to full (unless you're testing the power reserve or something), but I remember having to turn the crown on an NH35 something like 40 times to full wind it.

You cannot over wind nh35, ten or 15 full turns and wear it

Do the "Seiko shuffle" whilst you count to 30 :-)

30 and you are good.

That movement is self winding, just wind about 10 times and your wrist movement will do the rest.

I believe 55 winds will fully wind the 4R movements. I read it on Calibercorner.com. It provides excellent information on watch movements.

I don’t think you can overwind a NH35 or 4R movement

Typically I wind my Seiko movements around 20 times and buckle it up.

My rule of thumb is that one full wind equals 1 hour of reserve. It worked well for me.

I have one watch with NH35A movement. And I wound up to 25-30 before the locking the crown. And after 7-8 hours of wearing I'll get somewhere between 35-37 hours power reserve(Maybe little more).

Never understood people's obsession with getting a full wind on an automatic. Get the seconds hand moving, set it and put it on, boom done. In automatics, the mainspring will rotate inside the barrel to prevent over winding. But this is not something you want to unnecessarily do because it's a metal spring sliding against the metal inside of the barrel. Yes there's breaking grease in there, but its something that will wear with time, more so when always fully wound.

Thank you guys for your time and your nice comments. You helped me a lot 🤙🏻I think the best is to wind it 20 to 30 times and than let the wrist do its job. Wish you guys a nice day ✌🏻

Perfect 👍

Anytime! I was only half joking in my "Seiko shuffle" comment. I actually never manually wind any of my automatics. The rotor winds the mainspring much more gently than manual winding, so I just give it a bit of a shake before wearing it. Unless you're not moving that much, it'll wind the rest of the way itself.

I know I am actually familiar with the “Seiko Shuffle” 😆 have to do it with my SNXS77 it has an 7S26 movement. That one only winds itself with the rotor 😅but I like it more to wind the watch by the crown. It is the feeling and the sound for me when the crown turns ✌🏻
