JQUEENWatch Winder for Automatic Watches with Super Quiet Japanese Mabuchi Motor, Microfiber Leather,21 Rotation Mode Setting,Built-in Illumination

Had this item for a couple weeks now so i can add some of my favorite pieces to the rotation. So far it's been superb. My first single winder was the CHIYODA single, which I have also reviewed seperatley. Some key comparisons also in this review.Build quality - has a much more expensive feel than it is. Gorgeous in the carbon fiber PU leather. Finished very well inside and out. Has a cool sporty look to it with the red stitching and goes great with my automatics, especially with the stainless bracelets. This is larger and heavier than I epxected. Definitely larger than it appears in the pictures- a good thing since it didn't look like the watches would have room looking at the ad photos. Solid hinges and quality acrylic glass. The control knobs feels stout and a strong responsive feel.Like my CHIYODA was, this thing is even quieter. Cannot hear a thing, especially once the lid is closed. Has a good seal when closed. I will update again in 3-9 months (since my once quiet CHIYODA started off silent, but after about 9 months now makes a slight irritating noise while running). It just seems this JQUEEN has an overall better built quality to it, but time will tell.The pillows - seems to be good quality. Unlike the CHIYODAs soft plush pillow( still hoding its shape but looks a bit worn and dirty in the light beige color), this is stiffer, with the PU carbon fiber wrapping and come with an extra removable layer. This allows accommodation for various size bands. I'm about 6 3/4" wrist, so I removed the outer layer and the watch fits perfectly. Same carbon fiber finish in the inner layer. Nice touch.All in all I don't feel you can beat this at this price point. Although a have a couple of $2k+ pieces, I cannot justify spending hundreds or even more on a 'name brand' (I can buy that Hamilton Khaki Field auto instead). Afterall, these winders are only a convenience and really not necessary. For me, under $100 is worth it.

The Black Leather model looks great and has some high end finishing touches. Looks nice on the bedroom chest of drawers. Yes, it is quiet (not totally silent as some reviewers would want you to believe, but still very quiet) and doesn't interfere with sleep. I waited a couple months before writing this review to make sure the winder was reliable and functioning properly. It is.I'm deducting 1/2 star for two reasons:1. With all four settings, the winder WAY overwinds watches. The vast majority of modern automatics only need 600-900 turns per day (look it up). This winder does approx. 3000 turns. See some of the calculations in the Q&A section. I did the math and concur with their findings. Not all watches will be damaged by over-winding, but some will. I'd rather not take a chance.2. There's one design flaw. The clearance from the turntable to the front glass is inadequate. Even our mid-size watches tap the glass as they rotate unless I'm very careful about how they are placed and secured.To address the issue of over-winding, I've plugged my winder into a timer. The timer turns the winder on four times a day for a total of 7 hours run time. That provides the number of turns per day our watches need, plus I'm only running the winder about 1/3 as much as everyone else. Hopefully that will translate into a much longer life for the mechanical components in this winder and in our watches. Our two watches operate flawlessly and achieve the power reserve they're capable of with much less wear and tear.I'd recommend this winder (with a cheap timer attached).

Overall I really like this watch winder. The problem is that I have big face watches (Brietling, Hublot). After placing it and leaving it for a day, I noticed that it was rubbing the glass in the front. With careful placement on how the watches are placed, you can avoid rubbing/scratching of the glass, but I wish I didn't have to deal with it. Every time I put my watches in, I have to watch it rotate for a bit to make sure its not rubbing.

I've had it about a week now, and it's doing an admirable job. I have the black one, and it looks very nice too. It's very quiet; the room must be dead silent to hear it running it if you're standing nearby. My only complaint would be that more than one size of pillow or some sort of external shim would be a nice inclusion; if you have a larger wrist like me, you may find that the supplied pillow isn't quite large enough to hold your bands firmly; my diver on a jubilee style bracelet kept smacking into my other watch. You can mitigate this somewhat by placing the watch face nearer to the bend of the pillow to take the slack out of the band, but be careful with crown placement or it will rub the cover as it passes by. My watches sit head to toe with the crowns towards the center. The above notwithstanding, it's doing a great job keeping my two Seiko automatics wound, and for the price, it's tough to complain.Edit to clarify, 7/22/18: The pillows arrive with a shim around them, and you can remove those to accommodate smaller straps. Nothing for larger, though.

Absolutely great value, leather doesn’t look and feel too cheap, runs quiet, not sure about reliability yet. 1st unit received 1/9 winding unit doesn’t work, got a replacement, everything works but have same issues as first defective unit. None of the knobs align with turn direction and TPD, but it’s easy to take off and align them manually, while taking off watch holder, one of the holder housing came out as well. Overall, looks expensive, hold decent amount watch’s and runs quiet. Quality wise you get what you paid for, a wolf 2 watch winder costs more so ...

Physical appearance is fine, frame, glass and hinges appear solid.It never worked well, from day 1 seemed to labor turning with 1 watch and really slowed down with 2. Spinning base seems to Be seated in a way that creates significant friction or the motor is underpowered for the application.After 6 months it completely stopped working. I would not recommend this product.
