Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the watch winder and all accessories from the packaging. Ensure all components, including the power adapter and watch pillows, are present.
- Power Connection: Connect the provided 100-240V AC power adapter to the winder's power input port and then to a suitable electrical outlet.
- Watch Placement:
- Gently compress the spring-action watch pillow and insert your automatic watch onto it.
- The pillows are designed to accommodate a wide range of wrist sizes, from 6 inches to 8.25 inches. For larger watches or wristbands, an additional attachment is included to expand the pillow size.
- Ensure the watch is securely seated on the pillow and the non-slip grips hold it in place.
- Insert the watch and pillow assembly into one of the winder's modules. The pillow should click positively into place.

Operating Instructions
The Versa Double Watch Winder features independent controls for each winding module, allowing for customized settings for each watch.

- Independent Control: Each watch turner has its own on/off switch. Use these to activate or deactivate individual winding modules as needed.
- Turns Per Day (TPD) Settings: Select the desired TPD using the rotary switch for each module. The available settings are:
- 650 TPD
- 850 TPD
- 1050 TPD
- 1250 TPD
Most automatic watches operate optimally between 650-850 TPD. It is recommended to start with these settings in bi-directional rotation. Consult your watch manufacturer's specifications for precise TPD requirements. If you experience issues keeping your watch wound, adjust the TPD setting accordingly.
- Direction Settings: Choose the rotation direction for each module using the dedicated switch. Options include:
- Clockwise
- Counter-clockwise
- Bi-directional (alternating clockwise and counter-clockwise)
There are 12 different setting combinations possible by adjusting TPD and direction for each module.
- Winding Cycle: The winder operates in cycles to prevent overwinding. Each cycle involves approximately 7 minutes of turning, followed by a rest period. The duration of the rest period varies depending on the selected TPD setting. This cycle repeats as long as the winder is powered on.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: To clean the exterior of the winder, use a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that may damage the finish.
- Pillow Care: Ensure watch pillows are free from dust and debris. If a pillow becomes damaged, contact customer support for potential replacement options.
- Placement: Place the winder on a stable, level surface away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity.
Troubleshooting
- Winder Not Operating:
- Verify that the power adapter is securely connected to both the winder and a working electrical outlet.
- Ensure the individual on/off switch for the specific winding module is in the 'ON' position.
- Watch Not Winding:
- Confirm that the TPD and direction settings are appropriate for your specific automatic watch model. Refer to your watch's manual or an online database for recommended settings.
- Ensure the watch is correctly seated on the pillow and the pillow is properly inserted into the winder module.
- Unusual Noise: While the winder is designed for quiet operation, slight noises may occur if the watch pillow is not perfectly snug. Ensure the pillow is fully inserted and the watch is centered.
- Compatibility Note: This watch winder is not compatible with Seiko Kinetic watches, as their winding mechanism differs from traditional automatic movements.
- Magnetization: The winder has been tested and is designed not to magnetize your automatic watches.
