JQUEEN Watch Winder with Quiet Motors

Quite and smooth motors. Beautiful woodwork, fit and finish. Holds watches securely and easily. Two 45mm watches fit onto one of the winding pods with room to spare. Truly incredible value at $140.Here is the issue! Even the most infrequent winding setting is STILL too robust. Two minutes of rotation and six minutes of rest still keeps the mainspring at a fully wound tension. This is NOT what the mainspring is fabricated to do. It is meant to wind and unwind over the course of its very long lifetime. Keeping the mainspring at full tension 24x7 will damage your watch [even though it does have a clutch to prevent over-winding]. Moreover, many watches will run fast if the mainspring is kept at full tension. Here is a suggestion.I recommend that you plug this unit into a programmable wall timer. Program your timer to have the winder off at least 8 hours a day. I have mine set to be off 12 hours each day. If you have a watch with a power reserve indicator, you will be easily able to determine adjustments to this recommendation. Remember, most automatic watches have a power reserve of at LEAST 40 hours. When fully wound, they can easily cover the 8 [or more] hours of down time and their mainsprings will appreciate the break!!

I'll be the first to admit, there is probably nothing more "bougie" than ordering, then reviewing a watch winder for your automatic watches. Definitely a "want" not a "need" issue. With this disclaimer out of the way, and since I feel like sharing - I have a "thing" for cats, coats, automatic watches and novelty T-shirts that embarrass my kids, in that order.Here's where the sob story begins - when I want to wear my automatic watches, it is really inconvenient to pull it out of the cabinet and not have it ready to go. Each time I have to set the time and date all over again, which can actually be time consuming based on my specific watch model. Since I don't wear it daily, the automatic movement does not get the arm motion it needs to keep the momentum going for the time and date. Simple fix would be to wear it every day, but I much prefer my much cheap Polar fitness tracker on casual days - especially if I am running, working out or doing something outdoors.Because my husband also has an automatic watch, we bought this JQueen Watch Winder that fits four watches - that means we have one more slot to expand into - #Squad Goals. A higher end watch winder (Volta, Orbita, Wolf, etc) can cost $500 and up, especially for one that fits 4 watches. So, this price point is much lower compared to the others I've seen, and it actually looks nice as well. More importantly, it does a great job - it is quiet, keeps the watches wound and ready for wear, I don't need more than that.Here are some additional considerations I think are worth a mention:- Dual power. This winder can run on both electric power and a battery. The battery compartment (battery not included) is hidden from view.- Watch winder motor have 3 direction settings (clockwise, counter-clockwise and alternating) and multiple Turns Per Day settings.- The outside is a highly lacquered wood (piano lacquer, apparently), which is quite lovely.-The see through case is acrylic, not glass.-Inside of box does NOT light up.-Watches are secured with adjustable storage pads. I have very small wrists, making it hard for one of my watches to fit, even when using the smaller pad.-There are two knobs on the bottom one controls each rotating wheel independently, these feel cheap and are hard to turn.If you want an inexpensive watch winder that holds more than two watches, and don't care if it is made of solid burl wood from some exotic region, this does the trick. It looks higher end without the price tag

Looks nice, is attractive on the dresser. Like the others here, I found that settings 1-3 over-wound my watches, except for the sistem51 watch, which didn't get wound enough. Setting 4 seems like it works on the sistem51. Right now, to avoid the over winding, I flip it on in the morning and then flip it off before i go to bed. Probably will get a timer like the other folks here, or maybe I'll tilt it backwards so that there's less weight acting to spin the rotor.OH, one other gripe - nitpick really - you can't push this back against a wall because the top lid will bump into the wall when you try to open it - long before it opens enough to get inside. Not a real flaw, but how much better would it be if the hinge were set up so you could push it all the way back? right now, probably needs a good 6" of clearance behind it before you open it.

This is my second JQUEEN watch winder. The first was the double watch winder which I've had since the end of 2016 and it worked very well ever since. As I got a third automatic watch I decided to get a quad one and it is lovely. In fact, it is more quiet than the double watch winder. Material and color look very nice and the packaging it came in was great. Its size is very good too for storage. I highly recommend it for its quality and reasonable price compared to other watch winders.This is an update. A year and three months later, one side stopped working. It would go around a couple of times and stop. I haven't even moved the box from it's location since I put it where it is and plugged it in. I'm currently unhappy with this product.

I haven't had this winder long enough to give it a durability rating, but so far so good. I have got to say I was very surprised at how nice looking it is. It looks great! I have a single watch winder that I bought from a jewelry store that cost three times more, and isn't nearly as nice to look at. The padding isn't quite as plush on the Jqueen but plenty adequate. Its as mechanically quite as my other, looks better than my other, holds more watches than my other and was far less expensive. I am not a spokesman nor have any self serving interest in giving this item a stellar review. But I honestly have to say this is a really nice item. I would defiantly buy it again. I hope its as mechanically sound on the inside as it is good looking on the outside. Only time will tell.

Well worth the short wait for delivery. The unit is quite substantial, and well made, its fairly heavy which means it is stable when the lid is being opened or closed. The two transports have individual controls, with a choice of four winding programmes for each. So a variety of movements with different requirements can be catered for. The motor is very smooth and virtually silent in operation. I am very pleased with my purchase and would recommend it for your consideration.

I got this at a sale price and I had a voucher to spend also, with that in mind this review reflects that. Quality was great, finish is lovely, operates without any problems. It has been busy working for the week I have had it, non stop. There are four settings, I have it set to turning both directions for two minutes with a pause for six. I have the four watch model and have had no problems using just one watch at a time on one side, when I remove one to wear. I did have to tighten the screw on the right hand winder as it was a little loose upon arrival, but this was not a big deal to do and I was glad to see how it attached for future info. The cushions provided are a little squat, by that I mean they push the weight of the watch forward, if the cushion was longer rather than deeper, watches would lie flatter in the case. This does not interfere with the function of the winder, just think heavier sports watches, like mine, will put more strain over time on the motor. I have larger wrists and have to pack the strap out to hold it tight in winder, I just used some tissue, but this to avoid looking unsightly is at the back of the cushion pushing the watch even further forward. Also I have a strap with a Panerai style buckle, the slot for the watch is not wide enough to accommodate this, would be nice if one of the four slots had a cut out to take a wide buckle. Again I am nit picking, and as I stated at the beginning, at this price I'm not going to complain, just want to share information with future buyers, that is how I choose products on Amazon, I read reviews first. The winder inserts are removable, so would be nice if various size options were available as aftermarket options, would generate extra revenue for manufacturer also.

This was a surprisingly good product and 3 months on still working very well. The humming noise from the motors are ok but noticeable. All my watches TAG, OMEGA and one PANERAI fit well. My wrist is bigger than normal and my watches have to be set to wider armband size so I have bought a watchbracelet holder (from a watch shop for £5) that I have put around the inserted cushions to support the watches otherwise these would sit loose in the supplied holder.

I have been using this for a while now but I have noticed it has got louder over time. I suspect the life expectancy of this product is limited, but you get what you pay for I suppose. Another issue getting you watch to fit around strap holders. The hold is very firm so the watch is either very tight (not good for the strap) or very loose with the out ring removed. I have resorted to placing tissue paper under the watch to provide additional support so the watch does flop about on the holder when the holder rotates.

I'm using this watch winder for about two weeks only so my experience is limited. Item arrived quickly, very well wrapped, looks very nice, rotates as it should ( the right setting button indicates one level lower than it should but works well), rotations are very quiet, engine sounds almost indetectable. So far so good then. The only thing I feel a little uncomfortable is lack of any printed invoice or warranty...
