It sounds like a problem, I would take it back to the AD immediately. I own a Visodate and have no problems manually winding it.

 

Yesterday I tried turning the crown again and I found that it does turn. But just winding it is abit difficult such that my fingers are pain from winding. Anyone would like to confirm if there is really a problem?

 

I already told you it sounds like a problem and that I own a Visodate and none of the things you have describe happen with mine. Bring it back before it is too late.

 

No way should winding make your fingers hurt. Take it back.

Yep. Take it back before you really break something. A crown shouldn't make your fingertips raw.

 

I have never own an automatic. Should winding a watch feels like winding anti clockwise? Could it be because of the spring being fully wound? I do hear clicks when I wind my watch. I would like to avoid a trip to the AD hopefully.

 

Anyways can someone just confirm also how should winding an automatic watch feels like as compared to turning the crown anti clockwise?

 

Huh? You should feel slight resistance turning the crown clockwise. Counter-clockwise you will hear clicks.You can just shake it to spin the rotor. If you can't turn the crown I would still definitely bring it back.

 

I read about a guy once whose nutz hurt. He waited until they were the size of grapefruits before having them checked out all along the way making excuses and telling himself "it's ok". Don't be that guy. Go get your watch fixed.

Okay thanks everyone. I will bring my watch to swatch group today to have it a check. Will update you guys again thanks

 

The Tissot and most watches have a clutch to prevent over-winding... should not bind if you keep winding it.

 

One thing that has been talked over and over again on this forum is how the 2824/2836 mechanism is not meant to be manually wound constantly. Just to play safe, after you get this straightened out, whenever the watch runs out of power reserve, shake it up a little bit, then wear it constantly. Even if the deal with not hand winding it is an urban legend, this can't hurt the mechanism.

All the best, and hope you get your Visodate back in good order. It's a stunning watch.

"shake it up a little bit", been winding the 2836 in my Rainer Nienaber going on 14 years now and everything
is just fine.

 

The resistance when winding it clockwise will be a bit more than when you wind it anti clockwise but both will only be slight, certainly not sore finger stiff so it sounds like there is a problem. Take it back PDQ.
