Heiden Single Watch Winder - Black Leather

The media could not be loaded. It’s much nicer IRL than in the photos. Wish they had a shiny dark oak version To match my decor. I have the rosewood looking one and it’s gorgeous, as noted by other reviewers. This is really high end looking. Works well with my AP watch. Mine came with a power cord and that is all I’m using. Super quiet. You can barely hear this at all unless you’re right on top of it. You can’t beat the price, quality, looks on this one. Highly recommended.

Works well. Makes very little sound when operating.

There are a lot of watch winders out there. Do your research. I was looking for a well built watch winder for my Rolex GMT II. I needed to make sure that the winder could go both directions and could be set to 650 rotations a day. I was floored when this showed up at my door. It comes in a nice silk bag, then a cushioned box and then the shipping box, very well packed. I removed it from the box and bag and was very impressed with the quality of this product. Three different rotation settings, three different times of rotations, and battery and electric plug in adapter. Pretty much silent when running. The best part is the on/off button on the face where the watch sits, so no having to fumble with switches on the backside. Sweet Watch winder.

I bought this watch winder for Christmas in 2020. It had all the features and options yo can find in a watch winder; several wind settings, operates on plug in power our on battery, nice case etc. after several months, it began to get noisy. I could tell when it was winding by the grinding sound here in my study. Well it finally quit after only 18 months. After lots of research, I thought I bought the best. This is not the case and wouldn't recommend it for purchase.

The product was received today(11/14/2022), two days ahead of time! It was well packaged, doubled boxed,and when I took it out of its packaging it was beautiful, you could tell it is well made, and is truly a show piece, to show off your prize watch. I received a beautiful Rolex from my wife for our 50th wedding anniversary and I am proudly displaying it in this most attractive watch winder, and once I set it up and plugged it in, it is keeping my Rolex on time and wound!

So, with the Wolf winder I have, as well as a Belocia, to compare, where does this Heiden fit in? At $120, it is very close to being a very good value, and I bought it because I needed a smaller single winder, battery operated, that still had a full range of options in terms of turns per day, and choice of rotational direction.I'm kind of stuck between four or five stars, and I guess I'd be happiest to give it four and a half.It gets high marks for its silent operation, vertical design (putting the motor under, rather than behind the watch cradle, allowing for a smaller surface footprint), wide range of winding options (making it useful for almost any watch), smartly placed front on/off button, and a generally handsome (but kind of "faux" luxury) appearance.Where it falls short is in comparison to Wolf, where, for only twenty more dollars, you get glass, instead of Heiden's plastic window (was honestly disappointed in plastic, for an over one hundred dollar price that was supposedly a discount from over three hundred), an overall more luxurious look and feel than the Heiden's slightly cheaper look, and a superior holder which is larger and sturdier.Granted, since the Heiden seats the watch in a more vertical position, it can get away with a holder that is essentially a cup with a pillow in it, but the included springed pillow is small and flimsy. They do include an "expansion" sleeve, but it's just fabric covered cardboard so, again, that impression of cheapness. It does hold my watch just fine, just not in lap of luxury as the Wolf, or even, to some degree, the Belocia.So, it kind of feels like one you might see for fifty or sixty dollars, dressed up to accommodate double the price point. I could not imagine paying the supposed MSRP listed as more than three hundred. That would feel like a rip off, for sure, but at $120, it feels only slightly overpriced.It's certainly nice enough to keep and it is one of the very few smaller sized winders (although quite tall at over 7 inches), with a cover, that isn't either totally a junky ball of plastic or just totally outrageously expensive (like a Swiss KubiK). Add that it has the option of battery operation (works well because I don't have to have it near an outlet) and, as I say, for $120, it's pretty decent and it definitely gets the job done.But considering paying only a tiny fraction more puts you into a legendary Wolf winder, I'd just say to really comparison shop before making this purchase. You're paying more than a hundred dollars, even at the sale price, and there are some superior options in that range, depending on what is most important for you in a winder.For me, it was a win because of the slightly smaller size and portability, while keeping most of what a Wolf offers, but, based on the disappointing element of a bit of "cheapness" to it, I wouldn't buy it at a higher price.* works silently, keeps watch wound, full range of features and option of battery operation* slightly cheap in feel and appearance, plastic window instead of glass* acceptable value at $120, much better options out there if the price was increased* would buy again, at the sale price, specifically for the smaller size with its feature set, but would not buy if not on sale* would recommend to comparison shop before purchasing, just to be sure it's what you want, versus other options in the $120 rangeThanks for reading! Hope this helps!

Bought for my husband and he loves it! Functions as promised and is of excellent quality! Looks impressive on his dresser. Win Win!

Does what it says and is so quiet you cannot hear it. Battery option is nice. Worth the money
