Double automatic watch winder

Reasonably-priced (under 70-bucks including mailing) for double watch winder. Double-winder (with only one motor) has 4 settings on its IC-chip. The chip does work -- knows the differences between the settings, (e.g. rotate 10 minutes/rest 90 minutes or rotate 1 hour/rest 3 hours.)I am using Setting-C: rotate 30 min, rest 3 hours, and it does the job for my Concord (thin dress-watch, about 8mm thickness) and Omega (dive-watch thickness) which were firmly held in place during rotations. [The manufacturer provided a square attachment to the watch holder. This is necessary to keep a thin watch taut and snugly attached to the watch-holder.]The winder's housing is similar to that used on computer speakers, not as pleasing to the eye as my previous winder (in cherry and had three layers of lacquer). My previous winder ($150 more expensive!!) also had 2 motors the extra cost still resulted in both motors burning out in less than 16 months!!!This double-watch winder is fit-for-purpose. [It appears it can provide service for 2-plus years. I will post an update if it does not and the motor burns out before Dec 2009.]

This is an excellent buy for anyone requiring automatic winding for one or two wrist watches. The unit is silent and efficient with four optional settings for operation. However, it took me awhile to figure out how to load the watch. More complete instructions are necessary. Also, on the negative side, the unit has the appearance of "molded plastic." The case, the watch holders, the rotating table all are made of plastic giving the impression of "cheap" -- which, of course, it is. Some further attention to improving its cosmetic features would certainly help. All-in-all, I recommend the unit for the budget minded.

Love this winder. Got it set on the ten minutes every hour and a half interval.Seems to run better IN the winder then my own damn wrist.Has a somewhat decorative look that fits nicely on our kitchen counter.And people get a kick out of it when both watches spin.So the crazy thing is.....I hardly wear EITHER of my automatics now.Go figger.

The unit works as intended. I've only had it for a few weeks, so I can't comment on reliability, but it successfully keeps my two automatic watches wound. While it's quiet, it's not silent, so I keep it in my closet. If it was totally silent, I'd give it a 5, but based on the mixed reviews for other watch winders, it's difficult to beat for the <$40 price tag.Update - almost 2 years later, its still going. It even winds my Seiko Kinetic. Success with this winder may depend upon a bit of experimentation with the switch settings for some watches.

I was quite skeptical with the product at first. However after reading the reviews, I gave the product a try. I have it for a month now and it's still running great. It is a good buy for the price. I keep the winder by the bedside, and both wife and I do not hear any noise from the motor. I'll provide an update if the motor is dead. Cross my fingers.I gave it a 3 because the face cover of top winder is a bit loose, but the winder is working fine - just a little care to remove the watch, otherwise it is 4 star. I didn't bother with the hassle to ship back for replacement. The unit comes with 1 year warranty.

I like this watch winder except it breaks down and stops working every 2-3 years. I'll have to order a 4th one as the one I purchased back in 2013 (now 2015) just malfunctioned (bottom slot stopped rotating). I wish they were cheaper or sturdier to get the best ROI.

I use mine on setting 2. turn for 10 min then rest for 90 min. this setting seems to keep my two automatic Seiko watches in tip top shape. And ever other turn session is in the opposite direction of the prior session..easy to set up and use.

for the money this is a very good quality watch winder.it is fairly quiet,i own some other winders that are really noisy and cost more.i like the upright design,takes up less space than the horizontal designs.materials used are quality and it looks sharp.the switches give you many operating modes for any self winding watch.all watches wind different and if you dont know use the setting that winds both ways-that way you will keep your watch wound and ready to wear.
