My watch is self-winding. What is the difference between a hand-wound watch?
The difference between the automatic winding movement and the manual winding movement is the difference in the winding method. Manually wound watches require manual winding every day, while the self-winding watch has an internal automatic hammer that uses the movement of the wrist to automatically wind up. Self-winding watches usually have 40 hours of power reserve.
When the watch is not worn or the amount of activity is low, the self-winding watch will have insufficient power reserve, and the power storage energy can be supplemented by manual winding.
- Whether it is a manual or automatic mechanical watch, if you do not use it frequently or do not wear it for a long time, you need to regularly wind the watch to make the movement rotate frequently to maintain the movement of the watch movement.
