Any watch winding device priced below hundred dollars is considered to be cheap as normally retail watch winders are much more costlier. Retailers and manufacturers who want to sell old or surplus stocks offer huge discounts on their products to make them affordable to low budget users. Cheap watch winders are sourced from countries where the cost of manufacturing is low. Manufacturers in these countries use less expensive components and expenses on research and development are negligible.

Used, refurbished, and wholesale watch winders are also included in the list of cheap watch winding devices and are usually priced below the hundred-dollar mark. Some of these are priced as low as fifty to eighty dollars. The concept of selling cheap watch winders is a win-win situation for both the buyer and the manufacturer as the buyer gets the benefits of low prices and the manufacturer gains from increased sales.

Cheap watch winders are usually stripped down version of high-end watch winding devices. These do not have advanced features but have all the basic features available in retail watch winders such as such as standard winding mechanism, cushioned interior surfaces, and grasping mechanism to firmly secure the watch.

Cheap watch winders can be purchased from stores that specialize in selling cheap watches and accessories. Users can also purchase cheap watch winders from any of the numerous Internet websites that sell cheap products. However, it is better to conduct a comparative study analysis to find out the best deals available in the market. It is also important to study customer feedbacks to evaluate the quality and performance of a particular watch winder.

The demand for cheap watch winders has increased over the years. Some people consider the concept of selling cheap products as a marketing gimmick but some deals can really be very cost effective. These watch winders do not have long-term warranties but the price difference does attract many customers.

Any winding device manufactured prior to the sixties is considered as antique as these generally did not have advanced functions such as automatic shutdowns and restarts. The winding mechanism was made from small electrical motors that provided simple circular rotations and had to be manually shut off after winding operations. They generally had a wooden framework or body with fine engravings and polished surfaces.

The type of wood used in antique watch winders and its finishing add a lot to the antiques market price. Winders made from Mahogany provided a fine grained, reddish brown texture to the device and made it resistant to swelling, shrinking, and warping. Walnut wood based winders were also resistant to shrinking and warping and provided and excellent finish when coated with varnish or other glossy chemical.

Oak wood with its strong and good bending qualities was used to provide durability and reduce moisture absorption that could damage internal components of the winding device. Other types of wood used in antique watch winders include maple, cherry, rosewood, and teak. Antique winding devices were completely hand made and are excellent examples of fine craftsmanship. The interiors of some of these winders are covered with soft calf hide to prevent scratching.

Antique metal watch winders are also available in the market but only in a limited supply. These winders are available as single, dual, and multiple capacity winding devices and some of these can wind up to twelve wristwatches at the same time. Some of these have the lid attached to the body whereas others are available with a removable lid and a separate body.

People interested in buying antique watch winders should make sure that the device they have selected is genuinely antique as cases of faked antiques has become very common in the present era. The customer can contact the manufacturing company if its still operating to verify the serial number of a particular antique watch winder.

Branded watch winders can cost anywhere between two hundred and eight thousand dollars, which may prove very expensive for low budget users. People who have a knack for designing and making their gadgets and gizmos can create their own watch winding devices that serve the purpose of winding watches and are relatively inexpensive.

The things required for making a watch winder include a small electric motor, a few pieces of wood, leather, and drive components such as shaft collars and washers. Apart from this, users also need to have an appropriate toolkit and other nuts and bolts required for the purpose. The intended device will not mimic the complex motions of commercially produced watch winders but will generate simple circular motions that are enough to wound a self winding watch when not in use.

The electric motor should provide about two to three RPM and should have automatic shut down functions that will give the motor an opportunity to rest and cool off. The body of the winding device is made from wood as it can easily be altered using household toolkits.

The motor is placed inside the wooden box and secured with the help of screws or fast acting glue. After this the drive shaft is joined with the motor using rubber rings or other gear mechanism as preferred by the user. It is important to put some Vaseline or other lubricating material on the shaft for easy removal of the assembly. A washer is also placed around the shaft to provide a nice base and enable unrestricted and smooth circular motion of the shaft collar.

After making the basic rotational device, it is necessary to test the device and make sure that it is functioning as per design objectives. After this, the interiors are covered with cushioning material and a gripping mechanism is installed to firmly secure the watches when placed inside the winding device.

Certain types of automatic watches contain a self-winding mechanism that automatically winds these watches when they are strapped on the wrist of the user. The mechanism contains tiny weights that move in clockwise and anticlockwise direction due to the user's arm movement. The mechanism keeps functioning in the same way until the watch is completely wound up.

Mechanical devices such as dual watch winders are designed to mimic the action of human arm movement to wind self-winding watches when they are not worn. Dual watch winders are designed to accommodate two watches in a single watch-winding device, which allows users to save costs related to buying two different single watch winder devices.

These types of winders contain small electrical motors for providing angular and circular motion which is used by the self winding mechanism to convert kinetic energy into micro electrical energy required to keep the watch running. The circular motion of watch winders also helps in even distribution of lubricating oil present inside self-winding watches. Watch-winders are available in different shapes and are made form different materials such as wood, metal, and other synthetic material such as plastic and carbon fiber. The inside of these winders is covered with a layer of cushioning material to prevent scratches that may occur on the watch due to the circular motion. It also contains a grasping mechanism that firmly secures the watch inside the winding device.

The cost of commonly used watch winders ranges from hundred to three hundred dollars. This variation in prices is due to different additional features installed in different brands of watch winders and also due to the final finishing of internal and external surfaces. High-end dual watch winders are also available and are generally priced beyond one thousand dollars.

Dual watch winders are targeted at users who own more than one self-winding watches. They are also used as gift items during weddings and Christmas celebrations.

German precision watch winders ware originally manufactured to wind complex mechanical watches that normally contained around two hundred to one thousand components. These mechanical watches contain a self-winding mechanism that automatically winds these watches when they are strapped on the wrist. The mechanism contains tiny weights that move in clockwise and anticlockwise direction due to the user's arm movement and keeps functioning in the same way until the watch is completely wound up.

German precision watch winders produce the same effect of a human arm movement to wind self-winding watches when they are not in use. They are available as single, dual, and multiple capacity winding devices that can wind around eight to twelve wristwatches at the same time.

These types of winders contain small, noiseless electrical motors for providing angular and circular motion in both clockwise and counterclockwise direction, which is used by the self-winding mechanism to convert kinetic energy into micro electrical energy required to keep the watch running. The circular motion of German precision watch winders also helps in even distribution of lubricating oil present inside self-winding watches. Modern German precision watch winders can be programmed to operate with breaks at appropriate intervals to ensure that the watch is not over wound.

The interior surface of these winders is covered with a layer of cushioning material to prevent scratches that may occur on the watch due to the circular motion. It also contains a grasping mechanism to firmly secure the watch inside the winding device.

A number of manufacturers have copied German watch winding technology to produce inexpensive replicas of German engineered watch winders. However, buyers should be careful while purchasing these devices as quality of components used in some of these may affect the durability of manufactured watch winders.
