XTELARY Lockable Automatic Watch Winder - 4/6/8/12 Watch Storage, 4 Rotation Modes, Quiet Motor, Backlight

The watch case with winder does a splendid job of keeping my automatic/Seiko Kinetic watches wound and running. It’s rather stylish and fits in nearly any decor. It looks and functions like a nicely made piece of furniture. The front glass door closes with a magnetic latch and is fairly solid when it shuts - it doesn’t feel cheaply made or flimsy.I’m not entirely happy that the light switch has to be on for the winder mechanisms to run, but the light itself is fairly subtle; almost more decorative than functional, therefore not really bright enough to keep me up at night - it helps that I keep it on a low shelf, below my sight lines while I’m in bed. The motor is truly quiet - ambient noise in my room is louder; I’ve honestly not heard the motor run even once. If your hearing is better than mine, there is a setting that you can use whereby it runs for three hours out of twelve - yes, there are four selectable settings for how and when the motor runs.The left and center spinners operate together, while the right one is independent - has its own switch for mode selection. This is good; if you don’t have six automatics yet, you can leave the spinners you don’t yet need switched off. An imbalanced load (winding just one watch instead of two on a given spinner) doesn’t present a problem or impede the motor function in the least.The extra watch storage spaces are convenient. I think it would have been even more convenient to make the cushions in those spaces match the ones in the spinners, for easy watch swapping, but it’s not that big of a hassle to switch the cushions on a watch to get it wound up.One thing they didn’t mention is that the case comes with a few nice extras. There are large rings for the winder cushions, in case you have a huge wrist and need to secure a larger bracelet to the winder, there’s a lint-free polishing cloth and a nicely-sized brush with very soft bristles - I’m guessing the latter two are for keeping your watches clean and free of debris and dirt. They’re nice little extras that I wasn’t expecting but I’m glad to have.In short, it’s a great accessory for people who collect automatic watches and want to keep them ready for use while also not spending a fortune on something fancier. It does the job well. I thought of it like an investment - it’s not that much more expensive than getting a replacement capacitor for a Seiko Kinetic drive-powered watch, and it keeps all my automatics going.Before I bought this, I used to leave the other automatic watches stored with the crown pulled, to stop the mainspring from unwinding so the watch always had power and only needed to be reset to use it. I don’t recommend you do this: it leaves the delicate mechanical works inside exposed to the ambient air in your room, allowing moisture from humid air to degrade and destroy the watch components over time. Better to invest in a winder like this than pay for refurbishment and repairs.

This is a nice home for my automatic watches and I appreciate not having to reset them anymore.

Did not include the key. Pillows are too small. I had to switch them with the ones from a previous watch winder I had. Good size.

I looked at a lot of watch winders before I settled on this one, mostly for it's aesthetic. Clean modern vibe and what not. I like that it is wood toned and all the surfaces are matte and it doesn't scream for glossy attention to itself. It's also ridiculously quiet. Looks good on my dresser and fits with my preference for uncluttered, unobtrusive stuff.Having never owned a watch winder before, I find that by the time I unscrew the bezel, attach my watch to the pillow block, stick it back in, and screw the bezel back on, I could have probably just wound it and reset the time manually. But it is my understanding that letting the watch run down regularly isn't all that great for it. My watch is a reasonably stout Sinn, and this thing keeps it spinning and wound without any apparent struggle or issue.Looks good, does what it says on the tin. 5 stars.

The box is very pretty, and it runs quietly and effectively, but the rotating mechanisms are not great. Heavy watches literally fall out as soon as it starts spinning. I had to add self-adhesive silicone spacers to all of the pillows to get my very expensive watches to stay inside the housing. Didn’t return the box since I got it working with my homemade modification, but the design could be better. It’s a decent product for the price, as other watch winders are much more expensive than this one. Just add a pack of spacers to your cart as well!

The media could not be loaded. Watch box came broken, one of the watch winders is very loose. On the hand love the look and it runs very quite.

Looks great on my desk

Bought on sale but two winders didn't wind. Returned.
