Many makes and models of electric watch winders can be powered with D batteries or with the included AC adapter.

The D batteries can be installed in the device by lifting the battery cover.

Electric watch winders are powered on and off using an "On/Off" switch located on the back of the device. Users are encouraged to choose a winding program for their watch before putting the watch on the winder. Most models of watches can be wound both clockwise or counterclockwise. Once the program has been chosen, you can flip the watch winder switch to "On." The winder will stop automatically when the program has been completed.
