Single Watch Winder for Automatic Watches,Timer Shutdown,Adjustable Speed,Self Winding Turner,Rotating Device

Didnt work

Works to keep a Ventura Sparc MGS charged. This is a electronic digital watch which does not take batteries; but has a rotor like a mechanical automatic watch to keep it charged. However, I found that a watch winder for mechanical watches — even at 2,100 turns per day — is inadequate to keep the electronic Ventura Sparc MGS charged. This pendulum watch winder does; it keeps the Ventura Sparc MGS charged when run for just a few hours every other night. (And that is only because the Ventura Sparc MGS will turn itself off and lose its settings if not moved for 40 hours. Otherwise I suspect that this winder is so efficient/effective that a greater interval than running it every other night might be sufficient to top off the Ventura Sparc MGS.)

Since my watch is a self-winder I have recently retired and do not wear my watch every day like I used to. When I do put it on it had stopped running so I had to re-set it. Then a friend said to look into a self winder for my watch. I looked on the Internet and found many types from under $100 to over $500. The higher priced models were for multiple watches and I only had one. Looking further I found ones for single watches under $100. The one I picked was not the cheapest but was still under $30. When it arrived I built it pretty easily and it works flawlessly and keeps my watch fully winded. Crazy simple but perfect for its intended use.

Works great, make sure you assemble it properly take your time

I could not recommend this enough. I have a Seiko Kinetic watch, this is the only “winder” I have found with the power to charge a Seiko kinetic fully. Since it swings it needs more space but it is silent.

I have a Seiko Kinetic watch I wear a lot and am able to keep it running well but I wanted to add other watches more often into my rotation so wanted a way to keep the Kinetic running when wearing it less often. This winder seemed to be the answer and is extremely inexpensive so I decided to give it a try. This works great. While the assembly was not the best (installing the bearings gave me a feeling I could have easily broken it when putting it together) it works properly and is very easy to use. I like the swing speed choices and the ease at which I can select the winding time up to 12 hours. I was able to fully charge the watch in one day and even decided to let it go another two days to ensure it was charged fully. I then let the watch sit on my desk until it ran down completely and it ran for 11 months which is way longer than the 6 months Seiko says it should. So the winder worked and worked well. One warning - I got the version with the long swing arm and that does not work well with a much heavier watch like an Omega Planet Ocean chronograph as the winder does not have a heavy enough base to keep it from tipping over from the watch weight. So, if you have a very heavy watch, you may want the version with the shorter swing arm to keep it from swinging itself over.
