The CHIYODA Automatic Double Watch Winder features an attractive wooden case with a high-gloss, hand-applied lacquer. It has a transparent window that allows you to admire your expensive watches in its elaborate setting.
It comes with an impressive list of features including an LCD display screen via which customizable settings may be programed for each individual watch. It is also powered by direct connection to an AC outlet and consequently does not have the option to be powered by batteries.
The unit also features a dual motor system which is belt driven and runs almost silently with the benefit of having a motor for each watch. Each watch can be set individually for turns-per-day (TPD) in the following increments: 650-900-1350-1800. Directional settings include clockwise, counter-clockwise, as well as bidirectional winding. These winding options will help maintain the lifespan of your watches.
Check Price and Availability
The CHIYODA Double Watch Winder is equipped with adjustable pillows to accommodate both large and small watches. Its large viewing window allows you to observe the winding process and protects your watches from moisture and dust. If you find yourself spending a lot of time watching your watches being wound, it might be time to get out more.

Why Buy the Product
This is not a case of being too lazy to wind your watch, even though, at first glance, it might seem as though it is to some people. The truth of it is that expensive watches have quality mechanisms, and they, in turn, require precision winding to keep the mechanism in pristine working order. Manual winding just doesn’t do it as well.
Who Should Buy this Product
Those with expensive watches would do well to purchase a quality watch winder for the reasons expressed in this article. Less expensive watches don’t necessarily warrant the expense of a watch winder as their mechanisms are not the quality of the more expensive watches – though for convenience and since this is a reasonably priced winder, you may want to indulge.
Do it Yourself or Use this Product
In this instance, it is clear that using a watch winder or winding manually are both options. However, given that the owner of an expensive watch will generally wish to prolong the watch’s life and keep it in optimum working order, the watch winder wins hands down. It will keep the mainsprings of your watch fully wound, a job that manual winding cannot do as well.
What Customers say about the Product
For the most part, customers like the CHIYODA Double Watch Winder. It’s quiet, has a pleasing external appearance, and has a high-quality build. We like the independent settings for each watch and appreciate it accommodating both large and small watches. Even though the winder is not entirely silent, we found it quiet.
Customers also considered this watch winder an excellent value and found it easy to set up and use. Some also felt it was worth placing given friends even though this is not a function feature of the winder. Presumably, this relates to the quality of the winder, the plush interior, and the high gloss woodgrain case.
On a more technical note, one customer is noted to appreciate the improved accuracy of his watches due to the mainsprings being kept fully wound courtesy of the watch winder.
Does the Product have any Minor Downsides?
Yes, although it is not a deal breaker. This watch winder does not have the option to run on batteries. It is AC power only, and the slightest interruption to power to the unit will result in the necessity of re-programming the winder.
If you live in an area where power outages are frequent, constantly re-programing your winder could lead to frustration. After all, one of the reasons for purchasing a watch winder in the first place is to automate the business of winding your watches.
Are Competing Products worth Consideration?
The answer is always a resounding yes, as marketplace competition makes the world go around. In the case of watchwirders, the following will do the job admirably and provide suitable alternatives.
