OK, so this is probably a gift you would give someone who has almost everything (as personally, I have never had the need to automatically wind my Seiko watch), or maybe someone that has two automatic ‘self winding’ watches.
The principle is that you take your self winding (the ones that automatically wind as you move your arm during the day) and place it in the winder. Set the desired timer duration and walk away. The watch winder ensures that your watch is always ready for use.
This Belocia model accommodates two watches and will rotate clockwise, auto swap or counter-clockwise that should meet the needs of most automatic watches. The watch has 4 different settings:
Rotate 33 seconds, rest 12 minutes: 300 approximate rotations/day.
Rotate 10 minutes, rest 90 minutes: 660 approximate rotations/day.
Rotate 30 minutes, rest 3 hours: 940 approximate rotations/day.
Rotate 1 hour, rest 3 hours
Holiday Gift Rating: 2 Stars

Never be late Never be Lost Watch from Timberland
Not sure if I can say that this is a nice looking watch. But the Timberland HT2 will make sure that you will never be late and never be lost.
Obviously this watch is designed for sports crazed folks with its offering of; analog and digital clock that can display different time zones. You also get an altimeter, thermometer and barometer, plus analog and digital magnetic compass (so you won’t get lost as long as you can read a map). Finally there is a 1/100th of a second chronometer and a tachymeter. I also forgot to mention the glow in the dark hands (so no torch needed) and its waterproof to 100 feet.
The HT2 comes in three versions, ranging in price from $295 to $345 USD

The G-Shock Gulfman features water, shock and rust resistance and its titanium case and screw pins penetrate the band joints completely, making the timepiece rust and corrosion resistant. The Gulfman’s deep waved band releases stress from the tight fit that can occur when the wrist gets wet.
