In spite of the Item description this watch winder will NOT wind Seiko Kinetic watches without modification. I know that for a fact because I have had this model of watch winder before which I purchased from a Seiko watch engineer who had modified it to work with Seiko kinetics. Rotary winders provide insufficient movement to wind Seiko kinetics. You have to take out the centre rotating mechanism and then vary carefully cut away one of the plastic turn tabs so that the mechanism free falls from 12 noon position to 6 pm position. This gives the Seiko kinetic, the jolt it needs each time to charge. My last modified one lasted over 2 years in constant use (I have 3 seiko kinetics). I have modified this new one which will last another 2 years. The Seiko engineer charges £95 for a modified one, it took me 15 mnutes to adapt it.Read full review

The unit itself is fine, and it works well, the problem I found was that the watch fits onto a leather disc which when placed into the winder is very close to the plastic cover and needs a little fiddle on the get it to miss the cover, it could touch it and then would scratch the cover or the watch face. leaving the cover off gets it dusty. I think it needs a little more clearance from the watch face to the underside of the plastic cover.. after a lot of fiddling got it going ok, and as I said found it works well .

As I become less active my watch doesn't always keep going overnight. I use this every night and I haven't had a problem with my watch since. I have a God daughter who works for a prestigious jewellers and she commented that normally these items are very expensive. This was a bargain and I am completely satisfied with my purchase.

A good price for a very simple but effective watch winder. Looks nice and works very well (I use on a 2006 TAG Link with no issues fitting / face etc) This is my second after the motor in my first finally gave up after 7 years. At this price I am happy if this lasts just as long.

Can't really say too much about it -as l have only just received it - and don't know how long it will keep working. My last one only functioned for about 2 and a 1/2 years before it gave up ( it was a different make to the Tutelary ) Only time will tell.
