Re: PO winding

In Response To: PO winding ()

Like any automatic watch, you should manually wind it fully when you first get the watch. If you wear it everyday, the motion of your wrist will keep it wound while you're wearing it and the power reserve will keep it wound when it is not on your wrist (while you're asleep, etc.).

If you don't wear the watch for a couple of days, you should manually wind it again to fully replenish the power reserve. I also wind my watches anytime I reset the time, since the crown is already unscrewed anyway.

You can tell when the watch is fully wound by listening for a clicking noise as you turn the crown. This is the watch's overwind protection mechanism kicking in, which means the watch is fully wound.

Enjoy your new watch!!!!
