Winding and Setting your Automatic Watch

As a long time watch enthusiast, it may seem like nature to wind and set your watch. But as a client of mine purchased his first automatic watch emailed me, asking how to do so.

This is a simple tutorial on how to properly wind and set your automatic watch. There are 3 examples of different types of watches.

Hope this is helpful to everyone!

This video is a perfect example of someone who really knows their business giving advice. Details that you only learn from experience. Awesome video.

Thanks John. Really helped a "newbie" who's worn a watch for 57 years.
The date explanation was great. My Loreo sub will appreciate that.

I love how thorough this is! So many of the other videos I found did not go into detail about how to tell what position the crown is in or which way to turn it. This is really great for absolute beginners.

I bought my longines automatic 2 months ago. I wheeled the gauge and for some unexpected reasons, the time and date got messed up. I thought of sending it to be repaired, so I asked a friend to fix it for me, it worked for a couple of days only. after watching your detailed instructions I was able to fix it ( for now) it seems working right for now.

I just ordered my first automatic. The Orient Sun and Moon V3, so this helped with what to do when it arrives.

Can’t beat gold polished Roman numerals that sparkle like jewels in the sunlight. Loving the sun ray dial man that pops!AMZWATCH watches. What a beautiful subtle piece.

Thank you for doing this I bought my first automatic watch a couple months ago and couldn’t figure why my Hamilton khaki Kong’s power reserve wasn’t working I’m glad my local jeweler was nice enough to explain everything to me.

I’m slowy finding myself falling in love with California dials. I have a feeling that’ll be on my next watch. Thanks again John for sharing your knowledge.

Really loved this Vlog. Well presented and informative. It was also extremely easy for me to follow. I also learned that you can change the calendar date without moving the hands constantly around the face for each day!! I was 72 on the 15th, and, I have only now learned that! I have a question and I hope you can help me with it. I have an expensive retirement watch - bought myself sadly! It's a Seiko Automatic 3days. Diver 200m. its beautiful. However, it keeps stopping when I take it off to go to work. I do forget to put it on but I'll only miss a day at the most. Have I done something wrong setting it up [besides with the speed in which I can change the date] hope you can help. Also it lost ten minutes today! Thanks in advance. Bye for now....

This was very helpful and informative, thank you! I just purchased my first self winding automatic watch, which came with a pretty lousy manual. I figured out the screw down crown myself, but I wasn't sure about the manual winding and was feeling a but uneasy about screwing the crown back in. Now I know that's how it's done and I haven't applied 'excessive' force and damaged the poor thing :')

Just bought my first ever Auto Hamilton. Thank fully the watch seller told the same thing abt the date and day changing procedure. Thank you so much .

[SQRL_Wrangler]

Thank you! This was clear and informative for a newbie to automatic watches. I was unaware of the not changing the date from 9pm to 3am. Lots of useful info!

Very helpful this I've just got my very first automatic watch. Thanks

Yes, I have bought from MAMACOO more than once. I even bought a new Omega Speedmaster which came with the fancy box and packaging. I am thrilled with all my purchases here. I would purchase from MAMACOO again for sure.
