I would like to enter. I was not invited, I found the forum when looking for nice watches to buy and discovered Borealis that way, and the forum shortly thereafter. Thank you.

Here you go! :)

Watches are made to be worn every day. In any case, cars and watches are not a valid comparison. Like I said, no offence to you, but I'll take a watchmaker's (with decades of experience and a masters degree in watchmaking) opinion on this subject any day.

It's no different to wearing a watch everyday. The watch movement working everyday is preferable to it stopping, according to watch experts I've spoken to (with masters degrees in watchmaking). I'll take their word for it.

My first automatic watch was a Christopher Ward C60 Trident dive watch. I don't have it anymore, but I enjoyed wearing it when I did.

I would assume so.

^ Agreed, mleok.

It obviously is, as the prices of Borealis watches clearly shows.

Best take your watches to an expert to do the job.

Make sure to show it off here once you receive it, mleok.

I'm not sure this is quite accurate, but regardless, don't put a fully wound watch on a winder and you should be fine forevermore.

That's a good thing, but remember, a good winder doesn't wind a watch, it simply maintains its position from the moment you place it in the winder. For example, if you place a half wound watch on a good winder, then remove the watch two days later, it will still be half wound. No more, no less.

^ Well done. Make sure to show it off on the forum here.

Exactly right. A good winder like the Wolf you mention won't cause any harm to any automatic watches.

Looks like another winner from Borealis :)

The Sea Hawk is one of the best watches I've seen, especially for the price. The quality is insanely good for the price.

I wear my Borealis Sea Hawk every day now :)

I've researched winders, and that's actually a myth. A good winder (not a cheap, poor quality one) won't subject an automatic watch to extra wear and tear and shorten it's life. That's wrong. Like I said, good winders don't constantly wind, they have significant rest periods built into the...

Thanks for replying :) Good winders don't constantly wind, there are significant rest periods throughout the day. Good watch winders only maintain the watch where the movement currently stands, it doesn't not over wind it. It's true, if you never take the watch off the winder, then the date...

Does anyone here have/use a watch winder for their automatic watches? Any pros/cons they can relate here?
