We have had different (smaller) watch winders over the years, mechanical/electric. This one is a winner. It is actually quieter in my opinion than others we have had in the past, I used to think there was some kind of machine on with previous watch winders, this one is quiet and can fade into the background as white noise.
The watch pillow holders are easy and convenient to use when taking a watch out/putting back in. I have had others that were not very flexible and it was tedious to take a watch out. I also like the way that the watches are spaced out and displayed in it. Some watches have larger faces etc so you want to have adequate space for those pieces, again, easy to take in and out without hassle. The extra watch pillows were nice as well.
It does take up some considerable counter space so just measure your intended space, and also allow for some space behind it for when you open the glass top.
The two knobs control the direction of the winding, one controls one set and the other controls the two others.
I can see how that can be useful for placing a watch inside that doesnt need winding. The LED blue lighting feature is neat, but pretty bright, if you want to have it lit up at night, we never use it.
If you are thinking of buying this for yourself or as a gift, it is definitely a great value.
Beautiful and functional watch winder
