This is my first experience with a watch winder so take that into account. Given its place of manufacture I had fairly low expectations, so I was surprised to find that this machine was shockingly well made, of the highest quality. To me, its appearance is beautiful, I would consider it along the lines of a thoughtfully designed piece of furniture. In researching watch, winders, noise was one of the first issues that came up. This winder to my ear is virtually silent. I think only the most sensitive ear will have a problem with it. The function is smooth and consistent. They even give you a sheet of masks to tape off the LED light if it is too bright for you, I thought that was very thoughtful.
How to remove the watch holder is not necessarily intuitive so I had to watch a couple of videos to get it figured out, but once I did, it makes perfect sense. I have no hesitation recommending this winder.
