I am new to watch winders and just purchased a wolf cub, however I have noticed these sporadic jerky movements in the rotation that I have filmed In slow motion, I have very limited knowledge about this so I was hoping someone could help me out and let me know what is causing it and if it is detrimental to my watch, thanks in advance:)

The motion is fine for your watch but I think winders are totally useless. Takes 2 seconds to set a watch and they add unnecessary wear by simulating round the clock usage.

Looks like a Wolf winder, they don't run 24/7, nothing like it. Source: I have 5 of them.

That’s not the point. The watch is running 24/7. It’s going to decrease your time between services as opposed to it being a part of a rotation where it gets to sit out a couple days a week.
