Setup
- Unpack the Winder: Carefully remove the watch winder and all accessories from its packaging. Ensure all components, including the power adapter and watch pillow, are present.
- Prepare the Watch Pillow:
The watch pillow is designed with a spring action to accommodate various watch sizes. For smaller wristbands (6 - 7.25 inches), use the pillow without the large adapter. For larger wristbands (6.75 - 8 inches) and oversized watches, attach the included large adapter to the pillow.

Operating Instructions
The Versa watch winder features front-facing controls for power, rotation direction, and Turns Per Day (TPD) settings.
Control Panel Overview
The control panel typically consists of:
- On/Off Button: Activates or deactivates the winder.
- Direction Selector: Cycles through clockwise (CW), counter-clockwise (CCW), and bi-directional (CW+CCW) rotation modes.
- TPD Selector: Cycles through the available Turns Per Day settings (650, 850, 1050, 1250).
Setting the Winder
- Power On: Press the On/Off button to turn on the watch winder. An indicator light will illuminate.
- Select Rotation Direction: Press the Direction Selector button to choose the desired rotation mode for your watch. Consult your watch's manufacturer specifications for the recommended winding direction.
- Clockwise (CW): Rotates only in a clockwise direction.
- Counter-Clockwise (CCW): Rotates only in a counter-clockwise direction.
- Bi-directional (CW+CCW): Rotates in both clockwise and counter-clockwise directions.

- Operation Cycle: The watch winder is programmed to operate in cycles to prevent overwinding. It will typically turn for approximately 5 minutes, then rest for a period that varies depending on the selected TPD setting. This cycle will repeat continuously as long as the winder is powered on. The winder is designed not to turn continuously.
Once the settings are configured, the winder will begin its operation cycle, keeping your watch wound.
Maintenance

- Watch Pillow Care: The watch pillow can be wiped clean with a soft, damp cloth. Ensure it is completely dry before placing a watch on it.
- Dust Protection: Always keep the sliding cover closed when the winder is not in use or when a watch is being wound to protect it from dust and debris.
- Placement: Place the winder on a stable, level surface away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity.
