I always thought these winders were kind of over-priced.  I saw this one and said I would give it a try.  It is annoying having to reset my auto-winder as I do not wear it all the time.  It will be interesting to see how well it keeps time now that it need not run-down from my lack of wearing it.

As another reviewer said, it is very quiet.  I cannot hear a thing.  It runs about an hour and then is off for 3 or 4 hours (can't recall) and then starts up again.  I suppose if one wanted to be nit-picky, it does rotate only one way, settable by you.  I could argue that having it rotate clockwise on one cycle, followed by counter-clockwise on another, would be nice.  Not sure if it makes much difference.  I will just remember to flip the switch the other way in between wearings.

The case looks very good and is attractive on the bureau.  For the price, this is a very good value.  I hope it holds up.  I see no reason why it would not.  Even my heavy watch seems effortless for it.
