Is an Orbita Winder quiet? Orbita Watch Winders are as quiet as you can expect to get in a Watch Winder.
What is more, they stay quiet!
Almost all (some cheap winders sold in airline magazines excepted) watch winders start out quiet, but it is only after 1,3 or 6 months that the gears start to grind
and make noise.
Why?
Well, the cheap watch winders use cheap gears. I read somewhere that the gears used in the cheap imported Chinese made watch winders cost like 25 cents! Whereas the gears in Orbita's Watch Winders cost 25% of the total cost of making the thing! Big difference. You really do get what you pay for! What do I mean by grind and make noise?
Noise you can hear across the room, under that pillow which is over your head! But not Orbita, they start whisper quiet and stay that way. Whisper quiet is the only way I can think to describe them. I mean, a discerning ear will pick up the slightest noise, but if you are bothered by it, well then falling leaves must wake you up at night!
I was up one night watching late night TV, I could not sleep, I had jet lag. I was flipping through the 100+ channels and nothing was on! I came across a TV channel selling watches, I watched. They had a special segment, they were offering a free winder with a watch, they were bragging about the winder and saying how quiet it was. I could here the motor over their talking!
I was aghast! I was talking to the Television. But, this is why there is such a price difference between a cheap watch winder and a quality quiet Orbita Watch Winder. Quiet is relative...they should have said "quiet, not as loud as a jack hammer in your bedroom!" That would have been truth in advertising!
But I have never once had one of the Orbita Watch Winders returned for being to loud, customers all the time tell me they bought a cheaper one, but just packed it up and sent it back because it was so loud they could not sleep.
Yes from time to time I hear a story about an Orbita Watch Winder getting noisy, or not working after years of service, and usually the guys follows it up with "and they [Orbita] fixed the thing for me!" Your mileage may vary, and I can not promise Orbita will take care of you the same way, but in my 6+ years of dealing with this company they have consistently proven them selves to be reliable, dependable and nice! (I am talking about the Staff at Orbita, not the winders! ;-) I truly doubt you would have a different experience. I have had a few people call and "pretend" to be "customers" and report this or that bad about Orbita, however when they say they were rude, I realize immediately I am not talking to a real customer, because even when they say no to a request the Orbita Corporation is not rude! Chuck Agnoff, the owner of Orbita would not stand for that, and the co-workers at Orbita would not tolerate a rude customer service rep in their midst. The Internet is such an anonymous place,but Orbita is real, they make real winders for the real world.
They make a beautifully a quiet
6 Watch Winder and a beautiful and
quiet 1 watch winder and a ton in between.
They make them quiet and dependable and nice to look at, just like the Orbita staff!
