I've received mine about a week ago, it looks good and does what's advertised - but on one occasion it simply didn't keep m Glycine Combat 6 wound.
I've reached out to Glycine to get some insight, this is what they had to say about this:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Concerning your question about the rewinding performance of your «Wolf 1834 single winder»,
we found the following explanation for the low charging rate you achieve on the Glycine Combat 6.
As you’ve mentioned in your mail, your «Wolf 1834» turns with a speed of 900 TPD (Tours Per Day)
That means, if I translate «TPD» correctly, in the bi- directional mode 450 Tours per direction / Day.
If you compare this performance versus an industrial winder such as an Elma Cyclomat or Cyclomotion we are using in our AS Service, we analyse a big difference and performance gap between the two models: For this reason, let’s make the following comparison:
Your Wolf 1834 : 900 TPD ( Tours per day) or 0.62 Tours per Minute (24 h = 1440 Min)
Elma Cyclomat
or Cyclomotion : 1440 TPD (Tours per day) or 1 revolution per Minute ( RPM) ( lowest speed)
Your movement you get in the Combat 6 is an ETA 2824- 2 or a Sellita SW200.
The reduction gear ratio between the oscillating weight and the Barrel / Main spring
on these two movements are about 1: 150.
That means you’ll need 150 revolutions of the oscillating weight to charge one tour of the main spring. Times max. 8 tours of the main spring are 1200 tours of the oscillating weight.
As you can see, the 900 TPD of the Wolf 1834 are not enough for a full rewind of the Watch.
We hope that our explanations were a little bit helpful to solve your Winder/Watch Problem.
If you’ve any further technical questions about your Glycine Combat 6,
don’t hesitate to contact me. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So overall a nice winder, but in this case - looks like my watch requires more TPD.

yudeleviAccording to this website: https://watch-winder.store/watch-winding-table/glycine/ your watch needs setting "both directions" and 650 TPD.
It could be that the winder is running too fast and hence your watch is not wound up correctly

Unless you have a complicated watch why have a winder? To put constant wear on your watch? Mine sits empty unplugged (got it as a gift)

I don't agree obviously. I am gentle with my watches when I set them. A watch on a Winder is getting more wear than one sitting in a box. If you aren't going to wear a watch for months or years you should sell it or gift it. Are you going to keep a watch on a Winder from months and years why?

Well I don’t c consider it a myth. To me it seems more common sense but, since I only wear a watch once every 20 or 30 days that’s 28 or so days it’s not being worn, running constantly and wound. It’s a matter of personal preference I guess. It seems silly to keep a watch running for that long just so I don’t have to set it. I don’t judge anyone for using one. It’s a matter of personal choice. I just prefer to let my watches rest between wears.

After paying so much for a watch itself I cannot imagine paying another few hundred bucks just to have it wind it for me. I have fingers, it takes me all of 15sec to set the time and spin it up.
I wear my watch Mon-Fri and spin it up Mon morning after it dies during the weekend. 15 sec x 52 weeks in a yr is 780 seconds. 780 / 60 = 13min /yr
Let's say I make $25 an hr. Lower middle class income that may or may not have allowed me to buy the watch to begin with.
$250 being the minimum price here. $250 / $25per hr = 10hrs of work. 10hrs x 60min = 600min 600min / 13min per yr = 46yrs
So after 46yrs this device will have done equal work as I would have done and I would break even on my money invested vs my time invested.
Worth? I'll let you decide.
But hey, it looks cool.

I think many people when they are new to watches succumb to the allure of the watch winder. It seems to signal you are serious about you watches...but as you get more watches and spend more time in the hobby you realize they are just a waste and mostly cheaply made - and they end up collecting dust or tossed in the rubbish.

Erik1I think I’m the guy you are talking about. I started in on a watch habit about 4 years ago. Before I knew it I had 12 watches. Had to have a winder. I bought one of the $129, 4 unit, 6 storage ones from Amazon. It seemed fine, so I bought another one. After a few months one of the double winder sections of the second unit died. Not long after that the same thing happened to the first unit. They are now essentially only useful as storage units. They take up a lot of desk space and are only winding 4 of my watches, which now number 14. I agree, don’t waste your money, just wind them yourself.

Here's why I want a winder...
I travel a lot, so if I leave my mechanical watch at home (which I usually do) I'm unable to keep it wound. No big deal, but it has a date/day function that I have to reset every time I want to wear the watch (unless I ignore the date/day, which I don't). Setting this stuff manually is time consuming, as I have to spin the hands around to figure out if it's in AM or PM, then set the day, then set the date, then set the time. I end up not wearing the watch because I don't feel like messing with all of that. This way when I'm home I can grab my watch and go.

If it is on your wrist, you don’t need a winder. If you will let it sit unworn for over the power reserve of the watch, then let it stop. No need to keep it running when not in use just to save the 40 seconds it takes to set the watch to the proper time again.
i have a few watches and some will sit dormant for weeks in between wears.

RexfordI change watches nearly every day. Constantly changing the date every morning is a pain and a bore. Using a winder allows me not to mess with the date allows me to enjoy my collection more.

IMO, the only reason for a winder is if you have a perpetual calendar watch and your winder is programmable to have pause and sleep phases so you do not have your watch wound to capacity constantly with additional winding happening. This can damage your movement. I think winders are basically a vanity item for watch collectors.

LDocNot a vanity item, but probably a luxury item. I have a two-watch winder, and I like to wake up in the morning and grab a watch and go.

Just received the 6 piece WOLF Heritage winder to go along with my previous 3 piece Wolf Heritage winder.
My automatic collection keeps expanding with Massdrop!!! I didn't check the dims and was unaware it would be quite a bit slimmer than the 3 piece... I think I will order 2 more of the 3 piece winders w/storage next time these are available and stack as I like everything to be symmetrical. But Thanos approves... :P

This is a beautiful product. I am very interested, but I find that most watch holders can't hold watches set to my wrist size (somewhere between 6.25 and 6.5 inches). Is there a minimum size for this? The description only states up to 10 inches.
After doing some research, I found out that Wolf actually sells smaller and different colored watch pillows on their website. I just wanted to put this information out here for anyone else who suffers from small wrist syndrome like myself. Life isn't easy for us small wristers.

Gap_ShotMy wife's wrists are ~6.5 inches and her watches compress the standard Wolf pillows only ~3/8" more than do my watches (7-inch wrists).

AUTigerFanThis is not good as it puts a lot of stress on the spring bars. You should 'spring' for the shorter pillows which are a bit expensive.

I wanted to place an order but something's wrong with price of single winder. Only -$50 discount is applied (it's supposed to be -$150). Please, solve it. Thanks.

GromMaybe they'll figure out they made a mistake and jack the price by 100$ like with the Wolf roadster a year ago...
