So far this is great. Love it and now my watches are always ready to wear. I will keep this review updated as we go. OK two months in and I still love it! Absolutely no issues, love it.
UPDATE 2. New box arrived within a couple of days, and works great. EXCELLENT customer service.
UPDATE. Impressive customer service. I emailed to inform them of my problem, and they promptly responded and claimed they would arrange to deliver a new one to me. I will let you know how that goes.
The motor stopped working after only five months. After four months, it began to slow down significantly. Now, it has stopped rotating completely.
It is effective at keeping automatic watches functioning / but it also tries to be a stylish accessory when its actually a heavy, clunky hinged wooden box with way too many switches.
Very nice aesthetics, with some flaws. The smooth piano black finish attracts fingerprints and dust. Product came with a small crack on one of the corners. Motor movement is quiet, and with a ceiling fan on, with the winder about 7 feet from my bed, it is unnoticeable.
The major flaw that I noticed, however, was the angle of the winder. As it sits, specifically on my Hamilton watch, the angle of rotation is not steep enough to cause the rotor to move. I currently have the winder propped up in the back to increase the angle. I realized this as my watch has a skeletonized Open Heart design that allows the rotor to be slightly visible through the watch face. Not sure if my other Hamilton watch also exhibits this issue, but decided it was easy enough to elevate the rear of the winder. I would not recommend this for anyone that would have an issue with doing this. Right now Im happy with my 2 automatic watch collection, but if I do decide to expand in the future, I would likely replace this.
Additionally, if my math is correct, this winder has a TPD of over 2,800, with no option to adjust, which may be an issue for some people.
These appear to be well made and are nice looking, but dont wind a couple of my watches. I think this has something to do with the angle of the winding platform. My Versa winders WILL wind these very same watches.
I searched for a long time to find a winder, and finally chose this one, mainly for the price. I can say that, as a very picky person, this is an excellent winder. Its solid and well/made, silent, and has several winding selections. So far, neither of the watches I have in it (a Tissot and an old Seiko automatic) have lost a minute. I consider this a great value for the money.
I did not know what to expect when I bought this product for 74 dollars. I have seen two watch winders in stored for hundreds of dollars. Well this is super nice, especially for the money!! I am very happy with the overall quality and build. Very pleasantly surprised!
I have large watches and this winder works great with two of my nicest watches. I have 8 wrists so the stacked watch pillow rings just barely keep the watches fully locked into place but it all works fine. My carbon fiber trim model is all black, which is what I was hoping for. Muliple watch rotation settings are nice.

Effective but heavy, and it takes too much space.

Works. possibly

Very nice looking, but wont wind a couple of my automatics.

Great product
It works as described and looks great on my dresser especially with the blue light on. Also operating noise is very minimal.
Doesnt work
Received this today, unboxed, plugged in, turned on, set my rotation preference. Nothing. The Led light works though. Junk
Great winder for large watches.
