How long to run a winder?

Hi,

To keep an auto wound when not wearing it, for how long each day should an electric watch winder be run?

I know the watches have a mechanism to stop them being overwound, but I don't want to leave it spinning 24/7.

TIA

They have programs either spinning one direction, either both

You also select the time they are working, e.g. 2 mins in 1 hr

Thank you, yes, that was my question - how long per day or per hour is it best to run it for?

I wouldn't put my watches in any auto winder. It's like putting your car on a rolling road in your garage when your not using it .

You're always so insulting to people. Peek out the window once in a while and stop being such a miserable fuck.
