I also have an Orbita Sparta. Mine's a 2-watch winder. No complaints here. If it makes noise, I can't hear it but then my hearing's not what it used to be. In any case, I keep it up in my loft above my bedroom so it would have to be pretty loud for anyone to hear it.

Orbita makes a wide range of models in a wide range of price points. The Sparta is probably towards the lower middle of the line. It's just your basic black box with two winders on the front and two battery compartments in the back. Nothing about screams "cheap" or "expensive." It's a fairly straightforward device.

I was hoping to get the 2-watch Orbita Tourbillon model, but the price went from $1,500 to $2,000 before I could get one, so I decided to bag it and bought the Sparta instead. I think I paid around $200 to $250 for it. I remember I got some sort of discount because the Orbita traveling roadshow was in town.

No one really needs a winder, but they're kind of cool and it beats winding and setting your watch every time you rotate.
