Just bought my first breitling 44 chronomat. I wont wear it everyday. Do I need a watch winder? This is my first automatic watch. Need some advise. |

Congrats, hope you enjoy it! As for the watch winder, you don't need one, they're for convenience. I prefer to keep mine on a winder only so I don't have to set them everytime I put them on. |

I never needed a winder until I bought my second automatic. It became very useful at that point. When I got my third, it became essential. |

I don't like setting mine every time I wear it, and am OCD about the "danger zone". You don't have that problem with the B01, so that argument goes out the window. Now it's just a matter of convenience. Need, no. Want, yes? My only automatic is the B01, and it sits on the winder so it's ready to go at a moments notice. Personal preference. |

Personally, I own two automatics, and I have to set them basically every time I wear them because of the three-watch rotation I've got going on. It doesn't bother me and as far as the danger zone goes, I just set the time to noon, set the date to a day prior to the current date, and then set the time, since the date will roll over. It takes all of 30 seconds and I know the watch is nice and wound since I just did it manually. I prefer to give my watches a break from time to time, which is a heavily debated topic. However, I do wear all three of my watches basically once or twice per week, so they don't get that long of a break. |

It's safer to set the time to 6, then do the rest you described. That way there is no chance of getting distracted and mistakenly setting to midnight instead of noon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
