People always ask which should I go with?
Battery or Electric?
Well with the watch Winders we carry there is no compelling reason for either one. Most Cheap Winders only last a short time, 3 months on batteries if you are lucky! But all the winders we offer are quality watch winders and they will last at least 6 to 8months using standard "flash light batteries".
The best compromise of all is the Orbita Sparta Battery Powered Watch Winder. They guarantee the batteries will last for 2 years in an Orbita Sparta Watch Winder! 2 years! I tell people change the batteries at New Years, and put the old 50% good batteries into your flash light!
Is there any reason or time when one choice is better than the other? Why yes. If you will travel, then batteries will work best, no problems with converters and of course while in transit the winder still can operate.
If you are using a safe without a power source a battery powered winder is a must.
If you are hiding your watches and winders in a closet, of course a battery powered winder is a must. If your bedroom is maxed out on plug space, then a battery powered unit is a must. Do not be afraid of battery life with a quality watch winder.
People feel that AC Adapters, or transformers are the trouble free choice, but if you are in an area of prolonged power outages this certainly is not true. Keep in mind if you fully wind the watch before placing it on the watch winder and the power goes off, your watch will not loose time for 24 to 48 hours, so this is a trivial concern, except if you live in parts of Virginia serviced by Virginia Power. With the ice storms we get in Virginia, some remote areas are without power for days.
Me I hate cords, my office is full of cords, so I prefer the battery powered choice.
The Sparta is the best choice battery powered winder if you hate changing batteries but an Eilux Watch Winder also has good battery life as does Wolf Designs and Orbita Sienna Series of Watch Winders.
