Trying out a Winder

I can't believe I did this, but I picked up a "Lior special super-duper SWI" dual head watch winder this past weekend from tv land. Seemed like a good deal and I had a $50 coupon so I got it for around $80. I've heard that winders are not necessary, but I have a couple of watches such as my Sapphire Ghost and S1 auto that are a real pain to wind.

I thought, what the heck, I'll try it out. Should be here in a week or so I will report back on how I like it. I'm still a little hesitant about buying a winder, but it's eighty bucks... hopefully worth the gamble.:001_unsure:

I have started using them recently as well.
I read somewhere that manual winding is a weak point for many automatic movements.

I believe I read this in the horology new group, but I can't be sure.
