An excellent watch winder

When my wife's watch winder's motor gave out, it was time for a new one. This winder looked to fit the bill perfectly. When it arrived, I found that it worked perfectly on battery (not included) power but stopped when the AC adapter was plugged into the winder. A quick check with a multimeter revealed that the AC adapter was defective. I contacted the seller and a replacement AC adapter was quickly sent. Great customer service and great product.

Pros
  • Works well great value. Extremely quiet.
Cons
  • Winding speed is not adjustable

At first, the company seemed responsive, but they have done nothing to help me fix the problem. I have been very patient with them, now I am outside of the warranty coverage (according to ebay). I spent $75 on this very nice looking box that does not work, and I cannot get a response from the company.Don't waste your time or money on this if you want to keep your watch wound. Try another brand.I started having trouble after a few months, and it took me a while to verify the problem, but now…

Pros
  • Thus far it's working like it was advertized. Workmanship and overall looks is excellent.
Cons
  • AC power cord not included

A Perfect Machine good for me

OMG!I bought this piece with much doubt. My wife's Rolex stops every 8 hours. I had it fixed, it lasted a couple of years. To spend another $1000, I was hesitant. Then I found this marvelous watch winder! I got it about 10 days ago. I set it up, very easy and till today, the watch is running perfectly. It is worn during the day, no hassles; it runs perfectly and in the night, it goes into the winder. At first, I thought it was not running till I read it runs twice and stops for nearly an hour…

Pros
  • I love the quality. I use it to wind one of my watches.
Cons
  • The winder may take up valuable outlet space

When it works its great. But stopped working in 3 months

Edit: customer service was very prompt with replacing my unit. Seems to be working nowThe finish of the winder is beautiful. And when its running you can barely hear it, if at all. There are multiple settings that work with just about any type of mechanical watch. It is easy to get the watch in and out of the winder. Overall I was very happy with my purchase up until it stopped working. I hope they offer a solution otherwise I'll have to try something more reliable.

Pros
  • Designed with the utmost care to detail
Cons
  • The winder may not be suitable for all types of watch collectors

Alarm or warning sound?

Seems good, first winder I’ve bought.But it is now making some sort of intermittent high pitched squeal or alarm sound. What is causing this? If I turn it off and back on, noise stops.

Pros
  • Comes with a one-year warranty for peace of mind
Cons
  • The winder may not be able to accommodate watches with unique dial designs

Exactly as Shown best in my review

Watch winder has a great appearance. Well put together in fit and finish. Veneer is nice and controls on the back are gold colored. Switches for setting rotation and duration work smoothly. Have run for one week now in bedroom and is very quiet.

Pros
  • Doubles as a stylish watch display case
Cons
  • The winder may not be suitable for all types of watch bands

Update: Happy customer due to good service! [Stopped working.]

Update: Seller saw this review and quickly sent a replacement. Thanks! Glad to change my review. 4 stars for clean simple looks and very quite motor, 1 more star if it lasts more than 2 years.This was my favorite winder, the wood is pretty, very simple, was working great. Ordered in August 2018, dead as of today. Now it’s just a display case with a cord.

Pros
  • 7.8 x 7.2 x 6.97 inches; 2.76 Pounds
Cons
  • The winder may not be durable enough for frequent use

Great winder.: my feedback

This watch winder runs all the time and works perfectly. The Motor is quiet and has never quit. To add to this my time pieces are always on time and don't have more than a few seconds difference from real time even after being on the winder for months.

Pros
  • Anti-magnetic design protects your watch from damage
Cons
  • The winder may not be compatible with all AC power outlets

Amazing Winder on my review.

I love this watch winder, it looks very modern and elegant. I love that it’s very quiet, and it has nice turn per day setting, so far I only use setting 4 which is 650 turns per day. I checked a lot of winders and this one had good reviews, and the customer service seems fairly well from when other people had problems, plus the price for it is such a great value.

Pros
  • Provides a secure and safe place to store your watch
Cons
  • The winder may not accommodate watches with larger casing sizes

Nice looking - my new review

This product looks great and is made really well. My only real problem with the Chiyoda is that I own a Rolex and they have a wrist band that you set to your wrist size then leave alone. They are not adjustable like "belt” style of wrist bands. In order to fit your watch properly to the watch holding pillow on the Chiyoda - you would need to adjust your band each time you placed on the pillow. If your watch is not strapped onto the pillow correctly it will flop around and hit the edges of the…

Pros
  • Compact and lightweight design makes it easy to move around
Cons
  • The winder may be prone to dust, dirt, and other debris buildup

Perfect gift for watch collectors

One of my sons is a watch collector and frequently complains that they are not staying wound when not being worn. My troubleshooting search lead me to this watch winder. I had no idea such a thing existed!. The box is beautifully crafted in black and wood grain, making it a wonderful gift. It is working as it should - no more complaints from my son about his watches going down. It runs very quietly and has different settings. Wonderful gift!

Pros
  • Optimized winding program ensures your watch stays wound and ready for use
Cons
  • The winder may not work with all types of watches or watch movements

Works well for intended purpose.

No complaints. feels like decent construction. This holds my automatic when I won't be wearing it for a day or two. My only trivial complaint is it's a bit large for one watch, they should have added a drawer for cufflink/ rings with all that space at the bottom.

Pros
  • Durable construction ensures long-lasting use
Cons
  • The winder may not fit in with the decor of all bedrooms or living spaces

Looks nice, but didn't make it a year. UPDATE (1 star to 3)

I was impressed with this winder, but noticed my watch was stopping with some frequency. Not even a year into ownership, it's a brick.UPDATE: The product supplier reached out to and offered to send me a set of new internal components. I accepted, and upon arrival swapping them out was fairly straightforward (they sent detailed instructions as well). Everything seems to work better than before, and some internal improvements have been made. I'll revisit this review after I've had a while with…

Pros
  • Brings an added sense of sophistication to your room
Cons
  • The winder may be prone to malfunction over time

Nice looking good for me

This is a nice piece of wood that looks great on the dresser. Once we experimented with settings it is working well. The directions don't exactly explain how to set the watch in but we figured it out. This is real wood. It is very quiet but yes you do hear it very slightly. If the watch is low on battery, it takes a long time to charge it. We have had it on the charger for a month and without wearing it, the charger will maintain the level where your watch is when inserted. It is more or so…

Pros
  • Stopped working in a few months
Cons
  • Watch may not fit perfectly in the winder, causing it to slip or move around

Nicely made and reasonably quiet

Very nicely made and reasonably quiet. Materials appear of good quality and craftsmanship is good. It's too soon to comment on durability/longevity but quite satisfied so far.

Pros
  • Versatile enough for home or office use
Cons
  • The winder may be too expensive for the value it provides

Quality Control Issues?

There appears to be quality control issues. The edges of the case lack paint. Almost looks like an effort wal made to touch up the errors post production. Bare edge very noticeable. Additionally the pivot hinges are binding. It requires some force to open and close the door. I expect the door to break over time. Not sure if these issues are a fault in manufacturing or shipping. Generally the winder appears to mechanically function. The door hinges however are a significant issue.

Pros
  • Mother in law likes it
Cons
  • AC power source may not be reliable in all locations, limiting the usability of the winder

Nearly ideal - my new review

This watch winder looks great and overall seems to be made very well. After owning for a few months my one complaint is that the motor has become louder over time. It started totally silent and now makes a low whir while winding. This is not the end of the world as I don't find it particularly bothersome, but it does concern me about the long term durability and integrity of the winder. I guess we will see.

Pros
  • B08ZN5TMHT
Cons
  • The winder may have a limited lifespan compared to other products

It’s quiet - my new review

So far I’ve had it a month and it’s working just fine. Keeps my Breitling Evolution on time feels nice to not have to wind my watch when it’s sits for a long period of time.

Pros
  • Dual power options (battery and AC) provide flexibility
Cons
  • Battery life may be short, requiring frequent replacement

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Keep a screw driver handy

the Power cable will not plug into the back of the unit because it was either broken off, or came loose In shipping. I will try to take the thing apart to try to fix it. Hopefully it’s a simple fix, it looks like it screws into the metal washer that was loose in the box when I opened it. If I am unable to fix it, I will send it back and order another watch winder from another company.UPDATE,The company quickly sent me a replacement unit. It arrived with a loose power connection. Same issue as…

Pros
  • LED light illuminates your watch in low-light conditions
Cons
  • The winder may not be suitable for all types of watch collectors

Finally, a winder that works for my Oris!

I went through two different winders that didn't work after my original one died and neither of the two new ones would keep my Oris automatic wound. This one does!I use the bi-directional setting for 700 rotations a day per my watch manufacturers recommendation and this winder has been keeping it running perfectly. so glad I did the research and that ebay allowed me to return my previous purchases that didn't work with no questions asked.this is a really nice winder, very elegant looking and…

Pros
  • Can help extend the life of your watch
Cons
  • The winder may require frequent adjustment to accommodate different winding needs
