This watch winder will rotate your automatic watch to set direction and set Turns Per Day (TPD) to keep them wound. It has five different TPD settings: 650, 900, 1200, 1500, 1800, with intermediate rest cycles to eliminate potential stress on watch movement. It rotates clockwise counter-clockwise, or alternates in between. The winder will repeat its cycle every day, without intervention (as long as it is on). Functions: LINE: Indicates active turntable. MODE: Indicates rotation direction. TPD: Indicates to number of Turns Per Day, Numbers displayed indicates active turntables. Left and right arrows will let you navigate between functions. Once a function starts blinking that function is active. Up and down arrows will let you change settings for selected function. Center button will turn the turntable on or off. If a number is showing in the numbers display section that turntable is active. LCD display for settings. Touch control board. Powered with Optimal 8 turns per minute Japanese Mabouchi Motors. UL approved AC power adapter. A watch winder is an essential accessory for anyone who owns an automatic watch. These types of watches contain an internal weighted rotor which rotates inside the watch to keep the mainspring properly wound. When the watch is being worn the movement of your arm keeps the rotor in motion, but when the watch is taken off this system is inert, which may affect the time-keeping accuracy of the watch. Using a quality watch winder will prevent your automatic watch from losing its accuracy.

So far, so good!
I've had a few of these cheaper winders before and most all of them are pretty cheap looking and even worse working. This one seems to be holding up well so far.I like the design, the faux crock pattern is at least decent looking and the build is sturdier than I thought it would be as well. The tiny drawer at the bottom is barely large enough to hold two smallish watches, at least it has a removable divider in case you just want to use it for one larger one. As for how well the watches fit, that will vary greatly depending on how large your watches are. I use cheaper, larger Chinese automatic watches and it does require a bit of fiddling around to get two to fit side by side...but they do eventually fit well enough to not flop around.Honestly, for the low price, the quiet motor and decent build are well worth it. Recommended!

great value
I got the 2+2 (reviews for different models here), 2 on the motor, box below. The motor is quiet, its on my nightstand and I can't hear it. I have a 44mm Oris Aquis and it fits just fine on it, and I could get a 2nd next to it, they just couldn't be perfectly lined together, one watch face would have to be higher than the other. The drawer beneath fits my Tissot seastar (old model, 42mm, plus a 2nd band, and my Luminox. The divider wall can be removed. That's it tho in the drawer. Its depth is about half that of the entire box (no idea why, when did storage become a bad thing?). Overall for $50 I don't know what more you could ask for.

Seller was very prompt and courteous to correct the issue I was having.
Edit- I sent feedback back to the seller and he immediately called me. Was very courteous and explained what the issue was and gave me a couple good options to fix my situation. Very appreciated when customer service is at such a high level.At first I was excited. It's a gorgeous looking winder. Each slot operates with its own motor. Now that I've had it for 3 months I am noticing cracking noises when it turns. it was super quiet at first. Then the next issue is it's resetting itself. I had it set where all 8 motors turn at the same time then it resets to where just slot 1 turns and then all of my other watches get out of synch so I had to reset them all back to the correct time. I was real excited but now I'm sending this back.

Pretty good, but with a few caveats
I'm no stranger to watch winders (albeit not high end ones). This Belocia model is the fourth watch winder I've owned, having recently replaced a six (6) watch winder made by Official Time that I used for approximately 5 years, and a Diplomat eight (8) watch winder (also sold here on Amazon) that my wife bought for me as a Christmas present for me a few weeks ago. I have a mixed reaction to this Belocia winder, but ultimately I believe the pros outweigh the cons.For context (and comparison), the Diplomat watch winder I mentioned above lasted about two weeks before I knew I needed to let it go. The Diplomat winder shares one motor between each of the two sets of turntables (so, 2 motors and 4 turntables). That means that the turntables are programmed in pairs, limiting the winding options somewhat, but was still reasonably flexible. However, the Diplomat's motors started to grind within 24 hours of setting it up, and a couple of days one turntable had reduced to half of the rotation speed of the other three, so I realized this wasn't going to be a happy (or long-term) experience, and that I'd better look for a more suitable replacement quickly.I was attracted to the Belocia 8-watch winder because it provided some expansion space over my last 6-watch winder, and I liked the concept of having individual motors for each watch. Also, the vertical form-factor is a bit more unique than the traditional elongated horizontal ones. One item I've noticed from the previous watch winders that I have owned that held two (2) watches on a single turntable is that the turntable seemed to be stressed when only one (1) watch is loaded (definitely did this with the Diplomat described above). The imbalance of only one watch seemed to result in the turntable turning more slowly than the empty or fully loaded turntables. Subsequently, these same turntables would begin to become noticeably louder when operating. This issue would typically improve when I put a second watch on the turntable to balance it out, but would be back again when I took a watch off to wear it, leaving the turntable unbalanced again.Pros:1) Ability to set individual programs for each watch2) Because each turntable holds only one watch, there is no imbalance issues, with the subsequent motor performance problems that seem to follow3) Extremely quiet! I used to always be able to hear, albeit faintly usually, my other watch winders when then turned on. I actually have to look directly at this Belocia to see if it is running. If I shut off all other sound sources in the room and sit quietly by the winder a few feet away, I can hear a faint humming. Superb!4) Because the turntables are individually programmed, they don't all necessarily run at the same time. This contributes to the quietness of the unit, since all 8 motors are not typically on concurrently.5) The individual watch holders for the watch are much more secure and substantial than the traditional pillow type that I have used in my previous winders. They have lock tabs that snap into the motor housing, and a spring loaded "foot" to provide adjustable tension on the watch strap to hold it securing in place.6) The exterior finish is pretty nice, and the overall appearance of the unit is fairly impressive.Cons:1) There is a storage drawer in the bottom of the unit. I own additional non-automatic watches that I typically stored/displayed on the row in front of the turntables on my previous winders, so I figured I would need to use this drawer to store those watches on this winder. The drawer itself if astoundingly poorly mounted into the unit. It has no guide rails whatsoever, and its sliding movement is severely compromised by the friction of the felt-like material used on the edges of the drawer and the surrounding slot space in which it is housed. It is impossible to open or close in any semblance of smooth motion. Given the quality appearance of the rest of the unit, the drawer seems to be a complete afterthought that was executed by someone else altogether. The drawer itself is divided internally into three compartments. I am able to store a mix of approximately 7 watches in there.2) For as well made as the watch holders are as I described above in the Pros section, they had a manufacturing defect in their assembly. Five (5) of the eight (8) watch holders were assembled with the padded foot turned perpendicular to the holder rather than parallel. To me, this indicated that the person assembling the watch holders may have not been trained on what is the right way vs. the wrong way, so it essentially comes down to a 50/50 chance they will assemble it correctly. I was able to correct this problem myself, but it involved peeling back the wrap around glued on end of the felt piece on the foot in order to access a screw, loosening the screw, rotating the foot 90 degrees, tightening the screw, and pressing back down on the glued end of the felt. It literally took 20 seconds to do for each one, and the residual glue so far appears to be strong enough to hold the felt back down after the repair. Again, a simple fix, but you'd expect and appreciate better quality control for almost $500.3) Another holder issue--one of the automatic watches in our collection belongs to my wife. Though these watch holders have a compressing foot mechanism to adjust the circumference of the watch band, it doesn't reduce enough to accommodate watches for small wrist sizes. My wrist is small as well, and my metal band watches just barely fit on the most compressed foot position of the watch holder. My wife's metal band watch would not fit around it at all. I was able to rig a solution by using the metal handle off a binder clip to span the ends of her watch strap across the foot. It was definitely a McGyver move, but it actually works pretty well.4) When my winder arrived via UPS, several of the winder mounts were hanging out of their openings in the case. I'm sure the box was knocked around a bit during shipment, as I normal. Fortunately, the mounts simply slip back into the circular housing ports and rotate clockwise to lock in place.5) The felt material lining the interior of the case is also attached to the hinge area of both of the doors. This material is essentially felt with a paper-like backing. The backing is somewhat visible in the hinge seam when the doors are opened. Definitely not a big deal, but something you notice from a fit and finish standpoint that doesn't exude a feeling of high quality.With all this said, I do recommend the winder--I think you come out ahead for what you get compared to what you spend. Functionally, the individual program settings, the very silent motors, combined with a bit of a "wow" factor exterior appearance, work to offset the list of drawbacks that I pointed out. I suppose if you wanted to spend twice as much or more, you could probably eliminate those cons. So, for the price, I can live with them.

Nice box for the money
Nice box, nice leather, and good mechanicals so far. My only complaint is that my Seiko diver w/ jubulee band doesn't just fit on the provided mock wrist piece or oval pad. I had to wrap Velcro straps to increase size so it would sit securely

8 PLACE WATCH WINDER
Looks good. So far works perfect and is as described WHISPER quiet. You can sleep with this on your bedstand with all 8 motors running!For what you pay i think this is exellent value compared to other similar units. I love the look of several of the competitors but would advise anyone to avoid the units that wind 2 watches on the same motor.The reality is that these units are not balanced, exept if all your watches are exactly the same weight, the motor wears out & soon you have a very loud grinding noise like my previous unit
