Quick question. I was looking to purchase a automatic watch for the first time and I was curious If the rotor winds the watch too much, lets say for instance if I wear it out for a run, could it damage the watch? Would it then be recommended to leave it off the wrist if we are very active?
@@christopherdsuza324 On modern automatic watches, you cannot overwind the movement. You do not have to worry about that.
@@vintageradar Awesome, thanks for the info.
You are welcome! I hope you get a lovely timepiece!@@christopherdsuza324

I actually was wondering about the rotor on the back
So glad we could help and make it more clear.
Automatic watches are actually classified as mechanical btw. I think you meant to say “manual”.
Yes.
Hand manual winding is deprerence than Automatic self winding thru Rotor,in accordance of hand movement to maintain the self winding
Both automatic and manually-wound watches are mechanical. All the rotor does is wind a mechanical watch without the wearer having to wind it - if it’s used almost daily - depending on the power reserve.
Yes.
As a watch repairman here in the Phillipines I agree🤗🤓
I thought it was just for looks thank you so much for this information
You are welcome!
Badass Presage homie.
Yes, amazing piece. I get a lot of compliments for it.
if you move your wrist, the rotor will move in random direction right ? to wind it, should it be moved in specific direction ?
When you move your wirst the rotor will move freely and wind the watch. When you wind it manually, the rotor does not have to move. On some movements the rotor also rotates when you wind the watch.
@@vintageradar No that’s not what he meant. The question is: does the rotor only wind the mainspring when it turns a specific direction or will it wind the mainspring regardless of which direction the rotor turns? I was wondering the same thing.
@@Omlet221 There are a lot of movements that can be winded when the rotor rotates both ways (they have 2 ratchets). However, there are movements that only work in one direction.
All seiko automatic watches have what they call a "magic lever" that allows winding of the mainspring regardless of which direction the rotor spins. Other brands may or may not have them
@@uncle_cezar Awesome answer. That goes for vintahe Seiko watches as well?
Just bought a Bulova skeleton automatic watch. I love it.
Interesting. What model?
Talk about the Magic lever who reserve the power only for one direction's rotation
For both directions. I will make a video about that. Yes.
As a watch repairman here in the Phillipines,it's both direction can wind as long the fulllever(they call magic lever) is still sharp or not wear😅😅after several years🤗
@@michaelparreno5391 Yeah.
wow very informative, thanks..
You are welcome! Enjoy your watches!
Tell me about fossil automatic mechanical ME 3218 watch works and its stop working when We put in the wrist AFTER some time
Maybe it needs some winding if you do not have enough wrist movement.
Does the rotor spin 1 direction only?
On most watches, they spin in both directions. There are watches where it winds only in one direction. It depends on the watches. You should not worry about that when wearing it.
İ have automatic Seiko watch. Problem is that, it moving faster than normal. How can i fix it ?
If it's stopped for long time so again do we need to set the time.?
After shaking off watch its automatically set GMT timeline , how it happen . Are there any type of gps mechanism work ?
The GMT is something you must set.
That mean is useless n bullshit need to set again, just stupid paid for this stupid watch
One question, I bought a 1986 Carnival watch with Seagull st2525 caliber, also called Seagull ty2525. I would like to know if my model 8670g has a unidirectional or bidirectional movement (its rotor and its gyratory load).
I just went to flip my phone back over when this video ended.
That is a side effect of the rotor😁
I would love to but this watch seiko passage. How much is it for ?😊
Here is the watch on amazon: amzn.to/3MwOolp
Sir, how many minutes do you loose +/- in a month once you set time? Just wondering.
If u don’t wear it or move it does that mean it won’t be the specific time?
Yes, exactly. It will stop and stay at that exact hour until you take it and wear it again.
i always just take mine and give it a good shake to get it started then put it on for like 5 mins then set the time lol
Yes, that is the most simple way.
My watch isn’t moving anymore someone plz tell me it isn’t broken. It’s movements is the same as the watch in the video
@@lukecage4997 You need to visit a watchmaker in order to check that and fix if there is an issue.
Sorry to ask,i didn't know anything about it,so if we didn't use our automatic watch for a while, anything there we should do to work the watch properly when we wear it back after an enough brake of using
Sorry for my English as well
No, everything should be fine. You can set the time, shake it for 60 seconds, and then put it on the wrist. That should be just fine.
I will keep this one for ever
It is a beautiful watch🌛
Thenk you so much😊
You are welcome! Enjoy your watch!
If the rotor spins opposite direction will it wind the spring?
On modern watches yes. There are some older ones that only wind one way, but you do not have to worry about that.
So if I put down the watch the watch stops working?
Why do so many people get it wrong?!
An automatic movement and a manual-wind movement are both MECHANICAL.
It's in the wording..
Is the rotor rotates both directions , if then rotor moves backwards does it effect the time ?
You do not have to worry about the rotor. There are some movements that wind both ways, some in juts one way. It depends. Nonetheless, it will wind when you wear it,
It does not rotate backward, only one direction
Thought he was just going to say “battery”.😂
Maybe next time 🤠
RATE TELL PLEASE
Does the rotor sounds a little bit when it spins?
Yes, since it is a metal part.
Hello! I am looking to purchase a Beaucroft watch. Would it be a good buy?
Hello, I have never used one so I would not be able to give any advice. If you like it, you can buy it.
Im confusion my watch is quartz because its using batteries but its also mechanical because I have to set the time with a dial and its solar powered so the battery never runs out. Super confused its the Seiko v158 0A0B rail road approved watch I had to buy working for Metro in LA
A solar watch has a capacitor inside, a battery that gets charged form the solar energy. It is not mechanical.
What is the name of this Seiko timepiece?
Here is the watch on amazon: amzn.to/3MwOolp
So if i just wear my watch,i wouldn't need to manually wind it because of the rotor?(invicta pro diver nh35 movement)
You can wind it once and then by wearing it, it should keep on winding itself. Here is a video on how to wind it: czcams.com/video/A9UvoRmexAY/video.html
@@vintageradar thanks 🙏
debor how much cost
Here it is: amzn.to/3WmO0uJ
I wonder what happens if you spin it thw opposite way
i have citizen eagle 7 can i wind it
Yes you can.
Does the watch still need conventional battery?
Automatic watches doesn't need battery.
Mechanical watches fo not need batteries.
What if it's not moving??
If you have an automatic watch where the rotor is not moving this means it will need a service/repair to sort out the problem.
Does the automatic watch repairs too costly... In india..?
Depends on the problem. You can ask a local watchmaker and see.
@@vintageradar Normally what kind of problem we facing in these types of watches..?
@@user-by1ok8dn5f It can be anything from oiling to broken gears, so it depends.
But when it goas to anticlock wise then is it unwind the mechanisum🤨
No, you cannot unwind the mechanism. The energy will be released as the watch keeps on ticking.
The rotor spin just like bicycle rear wheel, aka 1 direction.
Rotors usually spin both ways, and on modern automatic watches also wind the watch both ways.
My automatic watch stopped working one day because i didnt wear it for a few days and when i went to wind it the manual winding didn't work, no matter how many times i spun it. any answers to why?
There are some automatic watches that can only be winded through wearing. This means you need to shake it in order to start and then wear it on your wrist.
did it start after shaking it pls tell
@@PatiencePersevarance An automatic will start to move if you shake it a few times and the rotor moves.
@@vintageradar bro tell me one thing which one is better automatic or normal battery powered ones
@@vintageradar and is there a watch which runs on our heartbeat
That's what it does but not how it does it.
I will do a future video about that.
The are both mechanical. Diference is one is manual.
Yes. Just a quick short.
Seiko 5 can i wind?
If you have the mechanical one, yes.
they're both mechanical. you mean to say difference between an automatic movement and a manual winding movement
Yes.
The rotor on mye broke off.
I would suggest sending it back if you still have the warranty.
what is an automatic watch? pls tell
An automatic watch, also known as a self-winding watch or simply an automatic, is a mechanical watch where the natural motion of the wearer provides energy to wind the mainspring, making manual winding unnecessary if worn enough.
Seiko Presage uses 4R35? What?
Yes.
who has wrist move like that 😅
Just for demonstration purposes 😎
Can u over-wind an automatic watch ?
Some yes, some not. Depends
not all automatic watches can be hand wound
Yes, just had a model that does. Forgot to mention.
Battery watch is better
Depends on what you like more. Some prefer mechanical, some quartz.
Technically, yes. But I still prefer my mechanical watches 😂
WHAT WATH THIS IS
Here is the watch on amazon: amzn.to/3MwOolp
misleading clickbait title
I have this type watch...i didnt know this mech...
Beautiful one
Why my watch stops working
Hello. If your watch stop for unknow reasons you should check with a local watchmaker so that the movement can be inspected.
@@vintageradar its automatic watch it starting & stopping
@@saiyedjuned6068 If you wind it and it suddenly stops it means it needs a service.

How to set time when in jungle...how useless is this watch
This watch useless, when not moving that motor the watch is dead and need set time again
They do not need a battery, but if you do not wear them they stop, yes.
