how many watch you actually have? because if ou only have 1-2 you dont really need a watch winder..its just a wate of money..but if you insist..Orbita is really excellent...wolf design also is good for more affordable winder..and for an expensive one scatola del tempo is the Roll's Royce of winders...

i really need a winder for convenience coz i dont wear my watch evaryday,and i dont want to set the time and date everytime and wear it coz its a waste of time and to lessen the wear and tear of the threadand crown. im just looking to buy 1 single winder,low budget. eilux has good reviews and reasonable price and it also has 1 year warranty and has a bi directional setting which rolex needs. But i havent tried one. im just asking if anybody has tried?im looking to get the cylindrical eilux single watch winder. thanks for your reply

I've only heard (second-hand) that Eilux winders are value-priced but break after a certain amount of use.

I have a eilux (4) watch winder. Had no problems. I recently picked up another watch winder from Brookstone. I swear it's made and runs just like an orbita ........... for the good $150.00. It accomodates 2 watches.

I've had four Eilux winders. the two oldest have given no problems and are 5 years old. The two newest have both been returned under warranty for repairs. The first for a broken latch and the second, one of the winder motors stopped.

I had a single for the longest time. No problems. I now have a double. Had it for atleast 3-4 years. No problems. Good bang for the buck winder.

i have been using a 3-head eilux winder (black, non-leather) for possibly over 6 years (perhaps 7) and it's still running fine. it's quiet and looks pretty nice too.

I have had two of these running on batteries for the last couple of years with no problems at all. Nice and quiet too.

I have Orbita and Wolf, both run great....
I will buy another Wolf soon! (too many watches!) The wolf is a better winder than Orbita from my experience.
