 15-30 seconds won't cut it for me. I often change watches at night and my Seiko's and Orient's won't make it thru the night unless I put it on the winder for 5 minutes. Or, I have to stand there and wave my arm around for a hundred count. Thanks, but I'd just as soon wind the watch in your 15-30 second window and have the watch set for the night. :):)

I'd have to say they are all pretty equal as far as reliability. But, I believe the Orient watches have proven to be a tad more accurate than the Miyota. I almost never pay any attention to accuarcy (personally) as I am always changing watches. So, I do favor the Miyota due to its ability to be hand wound.
