How an automatic watch works

An automatic watch has a mechanical movement that winds itself from the movement of your wrist, so it needs no battery. If it is not worn for a while it will stop and needs winding or wearing again; how long it runs when put down is given in its specifications. The movement of every watch is named on its listing.

Where to start

Seiko 5 Sports for everyday sports watches, Seiko Presage for dress watches, and Citizen Promaster for dive and sport models. Women’s automatics: women’s automatic watches.
