MOZSLY Watch Winder for Single Automatic Watches with Quiet Motor 12 Rotation Mode Setting Leather

Affordable Winder!
So, I recently purchased a nearly identical winder to this, from a manufacturer, Critiron. It was about twenty dollars cheaper, and, as far as I can tell, is basically the same product, with the exception of having the orange material glued to the outside, as opposed to the black aluminum finish of the Critiron. Sadly, the Critiron seems to no longer be available anywhere, but, since this looked to be an identical make, I went for this one.Obviously, the deal with cheaper winders is how long they will, or won’t last. I’ve been burnt on the Boxy winders a few times. They are inexpensive, but not when they have to be replaced every year, or sooner. But, since I’d rather spend my money on watches, than pricey winders, I tend to look for a less expensive winder that still gets the job done, when possible. I’ve had great luck with Belocia and Heiden, and, of course, with Wolf. Winders from Boxy/Diplomat and Versa have not lasted. Newer models from Chiyoda seem to be reliable.On this one, what makes it great is that it is totally silent, and, more importantly, has plenty of options to set the TPD (Turns Per Day) as well as direction of rotation, which is far superior to cheap winders that only give you a few pre-sets. With the options here, you can suit it pretty directly to any watch, once you learn the proper settings from a winder database or the watch maker. This one is for a Powermatic 80 Tissot diver.It comes with a very simple holder — no special clamp or fancy locking system — just a spring pillow that slides into a chamber. The tight fit of the pillow inside the chamber is what holds the watch in place, against the chamber walls, but is actually better made than the Critiron, which used the same principle but less successfully and, in this winder, my watch stays in place just fine. The acrylic window “lid” screws on like a jar lid and, again, nothing fancy, but it works, keeping the dust out and making for an acceptable display of the watch.Power is by battery, by included power cord (USB into a provided adapter) or by connecting to another winder of the same kind, piggy backing off of that power source. In my case, since it is identical to the Critiron, I simply used the connecting power cord to power it from the Critiron, and this one is stacked on top of that one. So, no need to source a new plug space for this one. Very handy.Operation, as mentioned, is absolutely silent, which is pretty impressive considering there is really no sound isolation in a winder this small. And, the small size is a blessing, taking up very little room, which is what I needed here, for my watch collection which already takes up too much space, lol.Overall, it would have been nice if the nearly identical Critiron was still for sale, at only $49, but, even though having to spend more here, the holder mechanism is superior, it gives an interesting look with the orange covering and it is still one of the cheapest solutions I’ve found for a well-featured watch winder. Chiyoda seems another reasonable option. I have several and have reviewed them, when possible (seems many low priced items on Amazon lately are refusing to accept reviews, which is frustrating, but I do post reviews where possible to do so).Summary is that if you’re looking for a cheap solution for a winder that still gives the same performance as a higher end device (just in terms of silent operation and many TPD/Rotation options) you can’t go wrong here. It’s nice to see companies providing these lower priced options, since it frees up the bucks for another watch.A good find here, and definitely recommend. Will update if it suddenly expires, but, at this point, I’m very pleased.Hope this helps, and thanks for reading.

Perfect for winding new watch
I purchased the Mozsly winder for my new watch. It has an attractive case with a screw-on cover. The winder is ultra quiet and appears to work as advertised. It was easy to open and insert the watch. Hopefully, this winder will last. I purchased the Amazon warranty just in case it stops working. This product is worth buying.

make sure they send you a new one
originally received one that didn’t work that clearly wasa return. no wrapping, no instructions, and didn’t work. returned and had a new one within 24 hrs. clearly brand new in wrapping, instructions. works great thus far and looks good

Update!**I was contacted by Mike from Mozsly who wanted to help with this issue. He indicated it could be either the motherboard or the motor and said he would send both out and if it’s just the motherboard, i can keep the spare motor.Both replacement parts were shipped and delivered within a couple weeks which is good considering Black Friday and Xmas shipping is picking up now. The replacement of the motherboard was extremely simple and took less than 10 minutes. Plugged the unit back in, turned the power on and the unit is working perfectly again. It’s easy to complain when something goes sideways but it seems harder to offer praise when something goes well.I really want to thank Mike and his team at Mozsly for stepping up to help with this. I’m happy again and looking forward to many years of use, knowing if something stops, there are parts available to replace if they should fail.**My wife purchased this unit as a Christmas gift last year. Initially it worked fantastic and as described. It has bi-directional rotation features so you can select clockwise, counterclockwise or both. I’d like to say while operating, the unit is as close to silent as you can get. It was sitting on my fightable and i never heard the unit while in operation. It worked great until it didn’t.About a month ago it just stopped working. The instructions are very clear that the unit needs to be turned off before you remove/install a watch into the winder. This was done every time so motor damage as a result of not following the instructions isn’t the case. I tried moving it to a different wall outlet and still nothing. It has just stopped functioning. Now it just sits there and looks great but doesn’t work and that is unfortunate. I’m giving 2 stars because while it was working, it worked great.

Very good product, does the job, wish I had bought the orange one but not to worry
