GOOD QUESTION !

Hopefully …

Here is an answer ...

I also have found that a watch on a winder keeps different time to being on the wrist.

I think the reason is possibly that a winder seems to have the watch in one plane or another for a set and similar amount of time.

In real life wearing different positions are occurring all the time you are moving (Or even sitting).

Form example 12H is not measured on most watch brands because it is so rare for the watch to be worn in that position.

A machine just does NOT simulate a human wearing and winding. It certainly does not take into account “Couch Potato TV watching Time”.

The winder is solely to stop the watch from running down. Thats very useful for watches such as perpetual calendars or even moon phase watches..
