However, if the Direction setting is set to the third setting, Alternately Clockwise/Anti-Clockwise, the first 1 minute rotation will be Clockwise, the next 1 minute rotation will be Anti-Clockwise and so on, ensuring your watch gets a balanced, yet gentle, rotation. If the Direction setting is set to clockwise then the rotor will always rotate in a Clockwise manner the same principle applies if the Direction setting is set to Anti-Clockwise. This cycle continues silently until the watch winder is turned off. The length of the pause is determined by the Turns Per Day setting (a lower TPD setting will mean a longer pause and vice versa) and once it is completed the rotor turns again for just 1 minute. When initially turned on the rotor turns for 1 minute before pausing. Gentle rotation ensures a consistent movement over a longer period of time that won’t over-wind your watch.

They sent me the Standard holder and while it fits my rubber strap watch just fine cause I can adjust it. According to Barrington, their Standard cushion fits approx 70% of customers and the Flex “is preferred if wrist size is slightly smaller”. The Flex is suitable for watches with a strap/bracelet circumference of 14cm to 20cm. The Standard is designed for watches with a strap/bracelet circumference of 19cm to 24cm. Here you can see my watch on their Standard holder.
The Barrington watch winder can accommodate their Standard or Flex cushions. A good size for on top of an armoire or shelf of a closet. The physical dimensions of the watch winder measures 4.5in/11.5cm (W) x 4.7in/12cm (H) x 6.3in/16cm (D). Inside the watch winder is an ultra-quiet Japanese motor that you can barely hear when operating.
