A mechanical self-winding watch works without batteries, unlike a quartz or solar-powered watch. Unlike a manual mechanical watch, its movement is wound by the movements of the wearer's wrist.
To make it work, you just have to wear it and have a normal physical activity. Through a set of gears, a rotor moves up the barrel spring which actuates the various mechanical parts. The movement of the automatic watch is theoretically infinite as long as it is worn.
Automatic watch operation
If your automatic watch is not worn, it stops naturally. You must then wind it manually by manipulating the crown. It also happens that wrist movements may not be sufficient to wind the movement if there is very little physical activity. This can cause the watch to malfunction or even stop automatically. In this case, you can also compensate by winding the watch manually. Make sure you also adjust the strap: if it is too loose, it will prevent optimal winding. Like all mechanical watches, an automatic watch must be regularly checked to ensure that it continues to work properly.

The life span of automatic watches is much longer than those with quartz system. They are also not subject to the progressive wear and tear of regular windings of a manual watch. You will be able to keep your automatic watch for a long time! Forget about battery problems, you won't have to change it anymore! Your automatic watch is also more environmentally friendly, since the only energy used is the energy you produce when you move. Robust, automatic watches are not affected by temperature variations or magnetic fields that disturb quartz watches.
Manual watch, automatic watch or quartz, which to choose? Simply the one that suits you best! An automatic watch is less accurate than a quartz watch. Its already very complex mechanism does not lend itself well to the complications of an automatic chronograph watch, for example. If you are looking for a high-precision timepiece with multiple functions, a quartz watch may therefore be more suitable. The high technicality of this quality watch can also be justified in its basic price, which is often higher than that of other watches of simpler manufacture. But the qualities of the automatic watch more than make up for these few limitations!
