Haha, a bit of a tongue-twister title! biggrin

But anyway. I have a lovely Omega Seamaster automatic watch. I bought it in 2002, and it is still going strong and keeps amazing time.

Up until a couple of years ago, it was a daily-wearer. It's my only watch, in fact.

However, my new career of late deems that I must avoid wearing anything from my elbows down for infection control (Paramedic) hence my Omega sits at home for several days at a time, unworn.

Of course, the power runs out after a day or two - and when I am on back to back 12 hour shifts, remembering to wind up my watch is one of the last things on my mind....sleep is normally the first thing on my mind! Hence, when I do pick it up again when I am not working, I have to wind it up, change the time, change the date etc. etc. Not an onerous task, but I guess an 'annoying first-world problem...'

So - I think I need a 'watch winder.'

I had a look on Amazon, and by Christ, there are about a million different ones with a million different prices yikes

I don't need one which caters for more than one watch - so, who has one, what is it, and what do we recommend, on a budget?

Cheers! biggrin
