Looks great,super quiet, my only very minimal complaint would be it's a little tough getting the watch bar in the rings but I'm assuming it will become easier in the future. Great product.Highly recommended. Update: as I figured, after a few days the watch bar goes in and out much easier now.5 stars all the way
The good…<br />It looks great!I have one auto winding watch and looked forward to being able to rotate through my other watches as this automatically wound this one. It was easy to figure out how assemble, only having a base, an o-ring, watch mount and glass cover. My watch, a men’s Orient, fit perfectly and looked great on display.The bad…<br />I finally had time to set it up last night in my bedroom and ran into a problem after going to bed. It is noisy, so bad in fact that I was unable to get to sleep with it running. While they included an o-ring to cut down on vibration and sound magnification through the glass lid. It does nothing to cut down on the noise coming out the baseAnd the noisy…<br />I removed the watch and listened closely and heard what sounded like really loud motor bearings or other bearing. Taking the load of the watch off does not lessen the noise level.Placing the winder on a wood surface, like a bookcase shelf, or dresser allows the wood to carry and magnify the sounds as they travel down through the base and out through the wood. The pads on the bottom of the winder are not thick enough or sufficient to dampen noise traveling downward.I decided last night to return it and get a different winder. Unfortunately someone was really efficient at throwing away the box and packaging it came in. I am going to see if I can still return it.If not, I might take it apart, like the engineer I am and redesign it. Depending on what I find I might put a small processor in the base and use a stepper motor and better bearings instead of what they have. It might be fun to put a proximity detector on it and have it spin once and stop with the watch on display anytime it detects someone in front of it.Would I buy it again? Nope, I was in a hurry and didn’t read the reviews, I just went by looks.If they fixed the noise problem I would buy it in a New York minute, as it really makes my watch look good.
A great watch winder; very modern and different; great to look at.A great conversational piece.You’ll never have toworry about winding your watch… it doesit for you.It’s a great display case as well.A purchase you’ll never regret.A perfect gift for someone special!!
