This product is a great way to ensure that your favorite timepiece is always correctly set and ready to be worn.
This watch winder arrives in a sturdy box with sufficient foam to prevent damage during transit. This item includes the watch winder itself, a USB power cord, a USB power block, a polishing cloth, and an instructional booklet.
Once opened, this watch winder looks and feels to be of excellent quality, with all pieces intact and no damage noted on the finish. It has rubber feet on the bottom, which keep it securely in place while also protecting your furniture from scratches. This item can be plugged into any outlet and I appreciate that a USB power block was included rather than only the power cord.
After the device is plugged in, you have the option to set it to wind according to four different modes (called gears), with the blue LED light turned on or off.
– Gear 1 turns the watch clockwise for two minutes, stops for six minutes, and then repeats.
– Gear 2 turns the watch counterclockwise for two minutes, stops for six minutes, and then repeats.
– Gear 3 turns the watch clockwise for two minutes, stops for six minutes, turns counterclockwise for two minutes, stops for six minutes, and then repeats that cycle.
– Gear 4 turns the watch clockwise for five minutes then counterclockwise for five minutes, repeating continuously for three hours, followed by nine hours of no movement.
My watch requires a bidirectional winder and can run at any time of day so the third setting works best for me.
This device turns smoothly in both directions and stops gently when changing directions. It also runs so quietly that you really need to be right next to it to hear the internal motor whirring. If this will be kept in a bedroom, there is no chance that it will disturb anyone’s sleep.
Overall, I am delighted with this watch winder and while I am pleased that my watch will no longer have a dead battery when I haven’t worn it for awhile, I am possibly most looking forward to never having to wind through half a month (or longer) of time to set the date ever again.
