Needed a new winder for my Seiko, not a really expensive watch, but just a pain to reset every couple of days when I decide to wear it. Wanted to use the 3 hours on, 9 hours off mode, but at the 12th hour, it stopped. It's been on the 10 minute mode since( #3 position), and it actually works fine like this. Very quiet, you could leave it next to the bed if you wanted, but the classy blue light ring is bright enough to read by, so mine stays in another room. Bottom line, it works works well enough to warrant another one if / or when it quits.
