I have had this winder for about two weeks. It is well made and quiet. There are four settings:
1. Clockwise turn, turn for two minutes, and rest for six minutes, then repeat the cycle indefinitely.
2. Couter-clockwise: same cycle as 1.
3. Both: Clockwise for 2 minutes and rest 6 minutes/ counter-clockwise for 2 minutes and rest 6 minutes. The cycle repeats indefinitely.
4. Clockwise 5 minutes then couter-clockwise 5 minutes repeating for 3 hours, then rests 9 hours. After 9 hours the cycle repeats
I keep my watch on option 4 because I think that options 1 through 3 may be too much work on the watch if left on for a long time.
The bottom line is that I am happy with this winder. I believe that it is well made.
