ACC-W4DBCRC Remote Control and Japanese Mabuhci Motors Wood Watch Winder

here is the review i wish i had before i purchased this winder now don't get me wrong i believe this is a good winder out of the box the quality seems very good the construction seems very sturdy looks great as well first of packaging is very good comes double boxed with Styrofoam protecting the inner box and the winder being placed inside a draw string fabric bag. first impressions are the door has actual glass not plastic with sturdy hinges and a tight latch inside the door you will find touch controls not buttons which i like feels very high end all controls and display are back lit with a blue led light as well as the being a blue led to illuminate the inside of the winder the winder also comes with a remote control as well now as far as the winders this is where i have an issue the watch holders are not your typical cushioned spring load types these are actually foam pillows in the general shape of an egg and DO NOT snap into the winder this is strictly a tolerance type of fit so if you have a heavy watch i would not buy this winder i put a 47mm Invicta grand diver and it seams to be pushing the limit i put a 50mm and it kept sliding out i tried a bolt zeus it would not even go in. i was hoping to replace my spin-r winders as i'm having lots off issues with them i hope someone will build a inexpensive sturdy winder that will last and hold the newer over sized watches i have come to enjoy.

I just wanted a watch winder that works. Unfortunately this one is not it. Stopped working after 8 months.

On the plus side it seems well made and has a nice design, the LED displays your watches nicely. The controls and remote control are nice and intuitive. After 3 days it seems to be functioning properly except the watches keep falling out of it. It has very cheap cushions that hold the watches in the pockets and if you have a heavier watch like my Omega seamaster or my Doxa dive watches the cushions don't hold the watches in the pockets... even my fairly small and light watches start to loosen and flop in the holes. Why they didn't spend a couple more bucks per pocket to use the much better, much more positive mechanical holders like diplomat uses i'll never know. I'd send it back but this problem didn't become apparent till after i had it for a few days and I threw out all the packaging.... Oh well i'll just use it for lighter smaller watches. Update, emailed customer service explained the problem and they explained that they knew it was an issue and were designing new holders for the watches. After about 6 months I received the first of the new holders and they work well. The replacement watch holders worked when I received them 6 months later but then at 18 months one of the motors stopped working... ironically one that held a mid sized light watch.

Looks and works just as advertised. Its a big box with lots of presence. Its very silent, i put it on my night stand and it works at nights and I don't hear it one bit. The instruction manual is a little short ie. doesn't explain how the 12 hour cycle is activated, that's why mine is working at night. I guess the cycle starts from when you first set the winder cycles and turn types. Very satisfied overall.

I love - looks very nice and fit other wooden funiture. Works realy silent! I placed it in my bedroom, no sound at all! However (I can't understand now) seems that it stops sometimes and not starting over. Or maybe it should have some pauses in operation over the day. In case someone from the manufacturer reads this, could you please contact me? The manual is just a 1 page and minus one star is for the manual.

This watch winder IS NOT worth the money. I liked the look of this product and asked for it for Christmas. Upon opening it I was pleased to see how well it was packed. This, obviously, invoked a sense of reassurance as to the quality if they are going to ensure it is so well protected in packaging. That is where it ended. After unpacking it one of the winders was falling out of its enclosure. Upon inspection I realized how cheaply this $300 winder is made. As you can see from the pictures the winder that fell out is keyed so as to prevent rotation in the housing, however it's only method of attachment is a thin layer of hot glue; $300 and they cant afford to use a couple set screws to secure it? No wonder it fell apart before I even got a chance to plug it in. I intend to return this for a full refund.
