ANWBROAD automatic watch winder, 4 slots

If automatic watches stop when they are left unworn, resetting them before each outing can become a small but regular chore. The ANWBROAD watch winder is designed to keep four watches rotating, with four selectable modes and room to store six more. Its separate motors let you choose settings for different watches, while the built-in LED provides a lit display. The key trade-off is space: this is a sizeable organiser, not a compact single-watch unit.

Key specifications

The unit has four winding slots and six additional storage slots. It measures 13.39”L x 9.17”W x 6.69”H, so it is worth thinking about where it will sit before choosing it for a bedside table or desk. The finish is described as piano paint, and the cover is designed to stop rotation when opened.

There are four rotation modes: clockwise, anticlockwise, alternating directions, and a longer cycle that runs for three hours before a nine-hour stop. The two motors can operate separately, so different modes can be selected for each side. Four watch pillows with rings are supplied for watches of different girths, six movable pillows can also be used to organise jewellery.

The product description states a noise level of 5 decibels and identifies the motors as Japanese Mabuchi motors. That figure is useful as a reference, but without that measurement being tied to a stated testing distance or setting, it is difficult to compare directly with other winders. A Type-C adapter and LED lighting are also listed.

Who it’s for

It makes sense if you own several automatic watches and want them together, with extra space for watches you are not currently winding. For example, you could set one pair rotating while keeping other watches and a few pieces of jewellery in the same case, rather than leaving them spread across a dresser. The independent motors and selectable modes add flexibility compared with a basic winder that offers one shared setting.

It might not be a great match if you only need to wind one watch, have little surface space, or want a compact travel solution. The listed dimensions make this more of a home organiser, and the description does not give a weight or explain how to set a mode for a particular watch model. Follow your watch’s own winding guidance when choosing a setting.

Everyday use

The layout is intended to combine winding and storage, rather than just turning watches. The six additional slots give unworn pieces a place to go, while the movable pillows can be repurposed for jewellery. The cover-stop feature is handy when you need to take a watch out without leaving the mechanism running. The LED may help show the contents, although no brightness adjustment or lighting control is specified.

Before you decide

Does it hold more than the watches being wound? Yes. It has four winding slots and six separate storage slots.

Can the two sides use different settings? The product description says the two motors operate separately and can use different modes.

Does opening the cover stop the rotation? The listed design feature says rotation stops when the cover is opened.

Buying verdict

This ANWBROAD model is worth considering if you want one fixed place for several automatic watches, value the option of separate winding settings, and can accommodate its stated dimensions. Its extra storage makes it more useful than a winder focused solely on rotation. If your priority is a small, straightforward unit for a single watch, a simpler design is likely to suit your space and needs better.
