Question 1

How many turns per day do the settings result in ? Or how long does each turn take ?

Accepted Answer

Base on my calculation, I timed it myself and each rotates takes roughly about 8 second on my unit.  No way it is 5 second.  that's pretty fast.

Mode 1,2,3 are pretty much the same, rotate 2 minutes and rest for 6 minutes.   let say 8 seconds per turn,  2 minutes (160 seconds) will be 15 turns and it rest for 6 minutes. Which means 15 turns in 8 minutes.  One hour (60 minutes) will be 112.5 turns.  So, in a day it will be 24 hours X 112.5 which is roughly 2700 turns.   That is way too much according to the recommendation..   http://orbita.com/2010_web/NEW/Database-S.htm 
My Seiko needs about 500 - 950 TPD.

Mode 4 is rotate for 3 hours and then rest for 9 hours.  3 hours (60 mins x 3) = 180 minutes.   My unit is 7.5 turns per minute.  That's insane 1350 turns in 3 hours.  Way too much.

I wish they could have done some research before setting these timers.  What I end up doing was using a timer myself and set it to a maximum of 8 hour per day.  Using Mode 3. CW and CCW.  Turn for 2 minutes and Rest for 6.  If my math is correct, 8 hours will give me about 900 turns.  Will see how it goes.

Hope this help..

Question 2

Is it durable? I don't want to spend $100 on a winder which only lasts 1 year. Is it possible to get a replacement motor?

Accepted Answer

I had mine for 3.5 year before it stopped working. It definitely outlasted the warranty but I’d be lying if I said I’m not disappointed it died ‘so soon’. It seems like any motor designed to work automatically on a regular cadence should be cycle tested to last a lot longer than this did.  I really don’t want to have to think about buying a watch winder every few years. I don’t think I’ll be buying another from this company. I’d rather pay a few dollars more and have it last longer.
