Best watch winder on batteries?

[Murph7355]

Does anyone run a watch winder on batteries? And if so, how long do they last?

I have a Rapport Quad winder, which is a lovely bit of kit. But it only seems to last 3-4 days on batteries (2 watches in it. Set for non-constant winding. Empty spaces turned off). It's quite an old unit which may not be helping, but am keen to find something that will go a chunk longer.

I've heard Orbita winders last over 6mths...

Anyone any experience?

A good winder should last 9-12 months on batteries. I'm shocked at the performance of your Rapport.

I bought a single Eilux winder from Jura a few years back and it lasts about 9/10 months on one set. As it goes I'm thinking of sticking it on eBay soon so if your interested let me know.
