Which Type of Watch Needs a Watch Winder?

Is an automatic watch winder necessary?

Watches generally fall into four categories:

Smart Watches – Powered by technology and batteries, such as Apple Watch and Samsung Galaxy Watch.
Quartz Watches – Battery-operated movements, like Casio or TAG Heuer Quartz models.
Manual Watches – Require hand-winding, for example Patek Philippe Calatrava (manual) or Panerai Radiomir.
Automatic Watches – Self-winding through wrist movement, such as Rolex Submariner and Omega Seamaster. These watches benefit the most from a watch winder.
If you own multiple automatic watches or don’t wear them daily, a watch winder helps keep them running, ready to wear anytime, and prolongs the life of their mechanical movements.
