How To Wind A Mechanical Watch

[@SaifulIkram]

Cheap or expensive, mechanical watches are the soulful gems. I got one, the Chinese made Forsining (automatics).

[@chrisrac88]

I know it may seem dumb but the video really helped and prevented what could have been a $2050 goof up on my end. Thanks!!

[@uoflann4416]

WOW! Thanks.. I counted your turns on the 1st watch.. would have never dreamed you would have to turn it that many times. Thanks again

[@JoshDickens850]

Great video, I was having trouble at first with the skeleton watch initially. You advice worked perfectly

[@ArielValfar]

I've been informing myself about mecanich/automatic watches (I've acquired two nice Fossil ones) and before giving them propper use I'm learning about them all I can. I've been watching several videos and this is the first time someone mentions that if I give it too many turns to the crown when winding it, it will be broken. So, thanks for that.

[@salsaproductions6286]

Thank you so much I didn't know what was wrong with my watch but thanks to you it runs smoothly everyday.

[@swathij4417]

Thank you! Finally got my watch running after 3 years!

[@FR-ro1od]

Don't keep winding until it doesn't wind anymore, that's overwinding. You also don't want to do quick rotations like that, it'll damage the mechanics....

[@bernardokc8108]

how many days?

[@mervin1868]

it is depending on brands of the watches. many watches today have a fail safe winding so it will not be overwinded

[@ness3787]

Ok

[@JayHanju]

Was he winding clockwise or anti clockwise ?

[@guythatsalive3743]

I hate myself for not reading this first now my grandpa his watch is broken

[@jeftadam7408]

I thought my watch is damage.. and it will work but it will stop ... I just search and watch this video.. it help me big.. now my watch is working good.. thank you

[@hugedickerinokripperino5299]

Nice english bro!

[@bobipunes5570]

U are the best my guy , much love , just started my old grandfathers watch ..god bless

[@shroud4269]

good vid, was winding it felling for the tension of when it would indicate for me to stop winding it, wasnt happening for a while so i was getting confused, then the crown started to resists my winding, until it was obvious i'd reached the point that it was fully wound. excellent video

[@adamoliva7145]

This guy is good I had a watch I thought I had broken hadn't wore it for months... came across this video did what he explained n my watch is magically fixed .. thanks brother well done!

[@captainmggabeau397]

I'm thinking about purchasing a mechanical watch and this video will be extremely useful when I get one.

[@Hujak100]

so cool just getting into watches

[@kijafalenore8365]

I really like watches they are nice piece of jewelry and accessory that actually has a use not like a gold chain or gold ring

[@FlightTheatreAlberto]

Kijafa Lenore agreed. Instead of a £1000 useless ring, I got my self a vintage Oris (a beautiful timepiece by the way)

[@kevinmorrice]

a nice watch is a great way to teach yourself routine, wind it every morning, and it also sets you apart from most people, i wear a nice german automatic with clear italian stylings

[@cleaningmastersusainc.6523]

Thanks for the video. You helped me get my new watch up and running.

[@RiddimDubstep]

Thanks. I got a Vostok Komandirskie. From stop position you have to wind it 25-30 turns. I usually wind it every 24 hours 10-15 turns however it can run up to 36 hours without winding.

[@jackiechun99]

My dad has this Wind Up Watch :)

[@kevindewaynelowe]

Thanks tough to experiment with something that you know you might break. Never had a classy watch like this before.

[@ilenerobinette6434]

I have just bought a watch very much like this one, it even has the exact same second hand. I have wound it and it runs, but when I turn it so that I can see it, it stops. Will I have to wear it up side down for the rest of my life? You have a really great video. Thank you.

[@TheRoodDude]

Ilene Robinette if you are talking about the skeleton watch I can guarantee you that it is an extremely cheap chinese watch. Those watches are mass produced and are of low quality, sorry to break it to you if you already didn't know. btw how much did you pay for the skeleton?

[@TheVayacondios]

Verry helpfull for us whos trying mechanical watch for the first time. Thanks

[@StudioLinkSketchit]

Thank you so much for this video. I just purchased my first wind up watch and didn't know how to wind it.

[@georgestockbridge9553]

Where did you get the manual mechanical watch from ,I'm looking for one similar but I really like your one so if you could help me out and tell me where you got it from that will be great, thanks!

[@mobarakhossen2704]

really helpful... thanks a lot . i thought my watch is death after watching your video it gets life :)

[@volcommerce]

good video thx for showing how to screw down the crown @ the end too, I got the winding and crown confused

[@thatghost6508]

TY Soooo much,i do not comment very much,but had to on this video.Simple and to the point.Got my first mechanical watch,and it had no instructions lol Ebay ofcourse.Beautiful watch,but was not sure on this model which way to keep it ticking.P.S i'm young so.TY again.

[@Joe-hl2ts]

The first watch is beautiful, what brand and model is it?

[@Vonqu]

thanks alot :) this helped me alot !

[@jayd3968]

thanks man its really a big help 😊

[@chaseingsilver]

This video helped me, thank you

[@pitapotato1006]

Yes this helped me start my fallout 4 watch, greatly apriciated (i hope i spelled it correctly) :D

[@bg147]

I have an old Valory watch that has been rebuilt. In my past, I had a watch that I would wind by going forward and back while winding. Someone told me to wind that way. However, with this watch, I must have damaged it because I can still wind it in the proper direction but not in the reverse. Is that a big issue? It seems that rotating it in the reverse damaged it in some fashion.

[@pHDouf]

I know you are not a watchmaker (I read the comments ;) ), but I was wondering if you had an answer to my problem: I received a mechanical watch which is running too fast (1.3 seconds too fast). Is this fixable? Thank you and great video!

[@andy86i]

I was completely unfamiliar with the old fashioned concept of winding a watch until today. My dad had a 1950's Swiss Made Garrard watch presented to him by his workplace, and after he died it stopped. We all thought the watch had stopped, as in not working. I can't believe all I had to do was turn the crown. It's running now. until tomorrow I suppose.

[@dartrager1571]

Thank you for this video, helped a lot.

[@agungpurnomo8]

Mine doesn't stop turning even if I have wound it up over 40 rounds. It runs ok when being worn but it stops soon after I take it off and put it on the table. Or when I am asleep or not moving hand for a while. Frustrating. I have 8 wristwatches, all but this one are on batteries. But I love this one the most. I wish it could last for at least a week before the next winding.

[@ahmed-samir]

What's your brand name first watch in review

[@hussienhussien9823]

thank you you really helped me

[@tooquacked9091]

Thanks so much keep up the gud work:)

[@bella-gt4uq]

Thank you so much! I had no idea I had to pull out the crown to change the time. I thought my watch was broken lol

[@JAYJay-gd6jx]

Does it run on battery when it comes to the automatic watch as in like will essentially run forever because I have switching out batteries on my battery powered watches over and over which one will essentially run endlessly or will not need to have batteries replaced over and over costing money and being a hassle to replace a lot

[@theinternetguy100]

No battery. It runs off springs and gears. Mechanical no battery. You have to wind it every other day or so

[@anonymousguitarist6331]

Great video! It was very helpful.

[@Abidha-df1bb]

Thank you very much🎉🎉

[@TheJair9375]

great video thanks for your help, i'm not much of a watch guy but im kind of liking them so thanks once more and hope you see this message :)

[@H4712]

What is the name of the last watch you winding? Because I had same mechanism watch like that. And again what is the name pleaseee????

[@MB-rv9dx]

My Rolex also won’t let me adjust date with the crown I have to keep spinning the time hands til I get the date I want any ideas?

[@bekzodhusenov3780]

Thank you so much 😃, your video was helpful for me

[@mikey_harvey4778]

cheers most likely just saved me £10 cheers again

[@prommiekevin1918]

For how many times do we have to wind it up ?

[@ericportillo8277]

That's so cool! Like little guts in there with a heart beat

[@ThevJayMahan]

I got my hands on a 1960s Vulcain Cricket. It was running well when i got it. After it stopped, I tried winding but the needle wouldnt budge. It alarm works fine and the time moves when the alarm is ringing. Need help with this...

[@bencoevorden6809]

What is the brand and model name of the 1st watch you are showing?

[@sergeurakhchin5497]

i literally have the same watch you show at first, do you know the make/model of it?

[@fedepede04]

It look like a chinese winner watch

[@ntsims01]

At first I thought that was inscribed with “winner winner chicken dinner “

[@henrikpersson260]

Thanks man! Very helpful

[@Ali-kp2yr]

thank you this helped so much

[@Kburd-wr6dq]

I have a stuhrling watch that is skeleton (I can see through) and is automatic, is it good? Also what's the difference bite automatic and mechanical

[@TheRoodDude]

Imma Turkey well the difference between an automatic and a mechanical is that an automatic watch contains a rotor which powers the watch as you wear it, you'll never have to hand wind an automatic as long as you shake it up or just simply wear it every day or so. As for the stuhrling I would not buy one as they are a watch that seems to fake their heritage, they are chinese made and not really a German watch. if you are fine with that then great; however, I would be worrying about being ripped off for one since chinese automatics can cost under 20 dollars.

[@ChampNike]

Thanks, should arrive here soon.

[@kasparaspadvelskis2652]

Can u wind watch if it’s still working?

[@viralpatel9364]

How many time clock running when winding around 20sec?

[@fauxhawkboy109]

What model is that first watch that you showed? it looks pretty nice

[@theinternetguy100]

In the video the watches are: ESS (mechanical watch) and the other is an Invicta Pro diver (automatic watch )

[@khoiquach]

Hello there, I have a Tissot Skeleton watch. Can you please tell me why mine said 46 hours of reserve power when fully wound up, but when I take it off, it usually stops. Does it need to be wound daily or maybe I got a defective one? Thanks much.

[@theinternetguy100]

khoiquach can you manually wind it? Does it have a gauge of the power reserve? Depends on how long you’ve worn it. How much it charged itself.

[@khoiquach]

it is manually wind, and the manual said up to 46 hours of reserve. So even if I don't wear it, it should running like 24 hours at least when fully wound up right?

[@MisterDerekDinosaur]

Hi, I was am in the midst of replacing my watch dial but i have an automatic movement. would you have any idea as to how to "turn off" my watch so that i can get the movement to shut down as i replace the hands and dial?

[@TopStrikerMaverick]

I strongly suggest to first shut off the co-axial escapement by bejeweling the balance wheel. But make sure that it's not in the reverso cycle, or else all the gears may break loose. This is mostly seen in the omega speedmaster. What watch do you have?

[@PlNKwink]

I love the skeleton watches but isnt it boring to wind it everyday? I bought one for my husband then I knew that it needs to be daily wind and I know how lazy my husband is besides it's reallu boring to fix it every often. The watch I recieved is broken so I think I will just return it.. Wont replace it

[@EseJandro]

That's soo much friend. You helped me out. :)

[@7oy.boy77]

It works thank God

[@s2w904]

Thank you very much

[@harkiratsinghguraya]

Thank u very much.

[@obtmychannel4532]

Thank you bro...it waking on me

[@issamfikri4628]

عندي مثلها ايتها الجميلة😍😍😍

[@leninrob898]

theinternetguy100 how much did this watch cost and where can i find it forsale?

[@6155ish]

Do watches with batteries still need winding?? (Inexpensive brands)

[@sohammore4583]

You basically cannot wind a battery watch There is nothing to wind

[@luisaaguilarmoyeda9420]

Thanks

[@muhammadamanmasood78]

Very helpful dear.... ❤️

[@anuragsuresh5867]

I have the same watch as the first one but after i wind it thectime goes wrong over a few hours. What is the problem with it. pls reply

[@anuragsuresh5867]

over a few minutes actually

[@acetigmiranda]

Thanks men!

[@ClassicalHindMusic]

theinternetguy100 Where did you get this watch from?

[@curtis5544]

What brand is the skeleton watch

[@harshilsah3991]

my automatic watch stops when i wear it and works perfectly fine when kept on a surface. It stops even if i wind it . Any help?

[@JoFo_]

having the exact same issue, did you figure it out yet?

[@JessicaPeel]

that was really help full thanks :)

[@sulmage9926]

i just bought a quartz pocket watch but nothing happens when i wind it (clock wise), I believe it's due to me when i first got my hands on it i wound it pretty fast. help

[@theinternetguy100]

Sulfur quartz watches don’t have a mainspring. They are not mechanical.

[@benneen9738]

Will winding it once in the morning will it last for the whole day?

[@jacobcook1013]

yes

[@elchoya100]

i kept winding and winding and nothing happened,found out it was battery operated.learned something new,NOT!

[@25566]

wtf dude...

[@jenniferbotai7821]

elchoya100 your funny

[@ruen99]

Ur a dumbass

[@woke657]

hahahaha

[@_utsav]

When i turned the crown upside the spring loosened but when i turned reversed way it didn't tighten why?

[@husnaazrain1828]

which 1 did you prefer? mechanical or auto

[@theinternetguy100]

Automatics are easier if you are wearing it all the time since the movement of your arm will wind it. But for skeleton watches, mechanical ones are better since there is no rotor in the way of the movement. So it depends on what you are looking for, sometimes I prefer mechanical (for skeleton ones) but most of the time I generally prefer automatic because if its always on your wrist it wont stop and will continuously be given power.

[@thechosen1557]

Thanks bro!!

[@IGGY2099]

Thanks man :)

[@jenniferbotai7821]

Are winner and invicta related

[@gonzalesatkin]

the spring of my watch is stuck, i cant wind anymore but the one that rotates doesnt rotate anymore

[@homesbyjordan1142]

Thank you

[@haisamusman9255]

Thank You I was About To Chamge my Watch i thought Its Not Good

[@kiel6740]

Hi! Where did u get your watch?

[@theinternetguy100]

Amazon

[@KevinTerryLeung]

can all automatic watches be manually winded by turning the crown? I have a seiko 5 automatic and i dont feel any resistance when turning the crown

[@theinternetguy100]

No not all automatic watches can be wound manually.

[@KevinTerryLeung]

ok thanks, nice vid

[@jstrat121]

Kevin Leung the Seiko 5 (7S26C movement )cannot be wound manually.

[@richardsdma]

my slava automatic can be manually wound. this is due to the fact that automatic wound mechanism was just added to a regular movement.

[@hamzabenelhabib]

Thank u so much

[@zombiepunk8421]

what type of watch is the first watch you showed

[@JoshDickens850]

+ZombiePunk I have the same one, I don't know the name but you can get it on Amazon for like $12. China made.

[@dashahamal2120]

Hi, theinternethuy100. I Just bought the same ESS as the first one but it won't work even after watching your video i tried to exactly as you illustrated until the crown couldn't move anymore but still won't work NB: It briefly worked right after i put it on until i got home and it stopped. Please Help, Thanks

[@theinternetguy100]

Since it's a skeleton watch, you can see the gears. Is nothing moving? If you shake the watch and look again what do you see?

[@dashahamal2120]

I see nothing at all right now, but yesterday when i shook it...there is another inner component that was moving really fast

[@theinternetguy100]

+Dashah Amal the balance wheel was moving? (The wheel you see in the video that moves back and forth). Do you see the second hand move and/or any other gears moving?

[@dashahamal2120]

no, nothing moves anymore... even that which should move back & forth doesnt

[@dashahamal2120]

no, nothing moves anymore... even that which should move back & forth doesnt

[@Dan0rioN]

Lol wow i feel dumb & releaved at the same time.. Got this old wind up watch & it stopped ticking so I kept winding & winding & it wouldn't work.. I figured it had got gunked up & may need repair.. My dumb ass was turning it the wrong way.. Yes I tried the other way but it had resistance & I was scared I'd break it.. Hopefully all the times I was winding it the wrong way it didnt fuck it up!!

[@landuneauto]

What kind of watch is this??

[@harsimransingh7984]

thanks man

[@junixrmk5481]

I have this watch in my collection

[@vandeo3244]

thanks

[@emsafeman]

Mechanically I don't think you can overwind an automatic. If my watch has completely run down I like to give it about 30 winds and the auto maintain it.

[@hamzaa.8082]

emsafeman yes because there is a clutch which will disengage the gears..
