physior said:hello!
how is it called the mechanism that makes watches self-charged by the movements of the wrist?
where can I find more info about this?
thanks!

Self-charging kinetic watches use the natural motion of the wearer's arm to power the watch. Inside the watch, there is a small rotor that rotates with the movement of the arm, which in turn winds a mainspring. This stored energy is then used to power the watch's movement and keep it running.
Self-charging kinetic watches are just as accurate as regular watches. They use the same quartz crystal technology to keep time and are regulated by the same standards. The only difference is the method of powering the watch.
A fully charged self-charging kinetic watch can last for several months without any additional motion. However, it is recommended to wear the watch regularly to keep it charged and running smoothly.
No, self-charging kinetic watches cannot be overcharged. They have a built-in mechanism that prevents the mainspring from being wound too tightly, which could potentially damage the watch.
Self-charging kinetic watches do not require any special maintenance. However, it is recommended to have the watch serviced every 3-5 years to ensure its accuracy and longevity.
