I wear an automatic watch.
Anyone know what that is?

Like a mechanical watch that tightens its spring with a ratchet and the natural movement of your wrist instead of by turning the crown

I feel like everybody should know this. Maybe it's different in the US but here in Europe I expect all middle class people to have learned at least this much about machinery in school

I feel many people dont understand what an automatic watch is.
Many think it has a battery.

Here in Europe I expect most people to have learned about the mechanical mechanism (wrist movement + ratchet + spring) in school. Do you not?

reply

Im not sure that we did.
I think that is a topic you learn if you are interested in the subject, not really something that is specifically taught.

No, a seiko pogue.
I think it is a nice movement.
