Who uses an automatic self winding watch?

Whats wrong with this $30 winder? looks? Does it not work as well?
Amazon.com: Black color single automatic watch winder: Watches

Like most things in life, cheap stuff ain't all that hot.

I bought a $160 quad watch winder and it lasted five days after the warranty ran out.

I like automatic watches, and have a Seiko dive watch that I keep as a backup. However for diving I prefer my 300m Citizen Ecodrive dive watch. It keeps excellent time and never has to be opened for a battery change, with the resultant need for resealing and pressure testing.

I have 3 automatic dive watches, 2 Seiko monsters (one orange, one black) and one Citizen Titanium dive watch. I use the Citizen when I dive as a backup (though they don't like to be dropped on pavement, the winding mechanism is currently not working ).

Just realize that they will get beat up and you may need to adapt them if you are diving a drysuit (especially with dry gloves). I use 2 long velcro strips to make a band for my Citizen, works great with any size suit.

YMMV.

Another vote for the Seiko Monsters, I love these guys especially the orange one. Their hand glow really brightly in the dark and they're pretty tough too. Got one on ebay with full support for $100.

Breitling Aeromarine Superocean. Been all over the world. It is rugged and flawless. Last service was five years ago: still keeps perfect time.

I voted for BREITLING COLT OCEAN AUTOMATIC CHRONOMETER DIVER WATCH because Everything you need is there.
