Automatic Watches

An automatic watch is one that requires a natural motion from the wearers arm in order to work continually. Also known as a self-winding watch, these watches have a built in spring that is wound automatically just by wearing them. A simple way of explaining this is just to imagine a small rotator inside that spins every time the arm is moved, thereby, powering the watch.

If you wear these watches every day then they will not need to be rewound, and can last between 24 and 48 hours before losing power. If however they do stop then about 30 turns of the dial will restore the power. Individuals who enjoy interaction with their timepieces then are sure to love this type of mechanism. For those of you who prefer precision, it's worth noting that an automatic watch does tend to lose or gain up to 2 seconds a day, but eventually you will get to know your timepiece and its little quirks.
