Hey watch lovers! Having trouble with your automatic watch stopping even when it's in a watch winder? Don't worry – you're not alone. As a fellow watch enthusiast, I'm here to break down the most common reasons this happens and share some expert solutions that'll keep your timepiece ticking perfectly.

Common Reasons Your Watch Stops (And How to Fix Them)

1. Power Supply Issues

Is your watch winder getting enough juice? Here's what to check:

• Battery-powered winders: Replace or recharge batteries
• Electric winders: Check power cord connections
• Power outlet: Test with another device

2. The TPD (Turns Per Day) Mystery

One of the most common culprits! Many watch enthusiasts don't realize that different watches need different TPD settings. For example:

• Most automatic watches need at least 650 TPD
• Rolex models typically require around 800 rotations
• Some watches need specific directional settings

3. Winding Direction Matters

Here's an insider tip: Some watches are picky about their rotation direction!

• Some watches need bidirectional winding
• Others prefer clockwise or counterclockwise only
• Getting this wrong can lead to insufficient winding

4. Winder Position Makes a Difference

Did you know there are two main types of watch winders?

1. Vertical Position

   • Higher winding efficiency
   • Better for most automatic movements
   • Recommended for optimal performance

2. Angled Position

   • Works well for some models
   • May be less efficient for tight rotors
   • Requires proper TPD adjustment

2. Daily Operation

   • Keep power reserve at least half full
   • Check winder settings periodically
