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.

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.
