I treated myself to a nice Rolex Submariner 5-6 months ago. I only wear it when I'm going out or on special occasions. This can lead to me not wearing it for 2-3 weeks at a time. I find it a real pain in the ass when I want to wear it and have to sit and wind it and wind it so the date is correct so Ive decided to buy a watch winder. I have a few battery powered Casios and this is the only automatic I'm ever likely to own so I need a watch winder capable of holding one watch, I don't need a massive display case. As this is my first automatic watch, I dont know what to look for. I dont mind spending as long as it is decent. So what to look for? And how long do batteries last in a watch winder?

I've checked out the evo cube. It's pretty expensive but nothing compared to the watch.

So what's the difference between a £30 watch winder and a £300 one?

Honestly I have no idea, this is all new to me.

Relax guys, I just wanted some information from someone who knows more on the subject than I do.

I haven't bought one as of yet, been too busy with other things. I do however find the point of increased wear interesting. It's something I hadn't considered. But then again a watch is meant to be worn all the time so parts will wear out anyway. Which one is correct or is it all subjective?

Thanks to all who replied.
