Omega FAQ - TimeZone
automatic is a testament to the ability of watchmakers to put hundreds of little parts into a watch case and get them to work all together with close tolerances just to tell time. An automatic watch depends upon movement to power it while a quartz watch uses electricity for its power, typically a battery. It's a matter of opinion as to which is better... But all of those little parts mean that there are more things to break. See similar questions...

Why wasn't an Automatic Watch chosen by NASA?

Omega FAQ - TimeZone
One of the reasons that NASA chose a manual wind watch for space flight crew use was that they wanted a chronograph and automatic chronographs would not be perfected until 1969. In addition NASA had the mistaken belief gravity needed to be present in order to cause the Rotor to work. Newton described objects at rest tend to stay at rest unless acted upon by a force. When the watch is moved, the rotor wants to stay put. See similar questions...

Omega FAQ - TimeZone
There are two schools of thought when it comes to this subject: Yes and No... Some watchmakers will tell you that using a winder will cause unnecessary wear to automatics, and wear parts down faster. A winder is intended to keep a watch that is used periodically wound, and not made to help preserve a watch. The other option is to wind a watch by hand. See similar questions...

Why does my automatic watch stop ticking and losing time?

Frequently Asked Questions
When you first receive your automatic replica, you need to wind it for 3 minutes straight before wearing it. If you wear it everyday, it will continue to wind itself on your wrist when you move around and walk. If you stop wearing it for more than approximately 2 days, the watch will need to be reset, but will then automatically wind once you start wearing it again. The disadvantage to this is pretty clear. Your watch doesn't keep time if you don't wear it constantly. See similar questions...

Do I need to wind my automatic (self-winding) watch?

Service Center - Movado Group Inc. - Commonly Asked Question...
Mechanical watches with automatic movements have a spring that is wound by the normal, daily motion of the wearer's arm. The arm movement causes a rotor inside the watch to transmit motion (energy) to the barrel, thus winding the mainspring. In contrast, a "manual" mechanical watch does require the watch’s mainspring to be hand-wound by turning the crown. If you do not wear your automatic watch daily, you may want to use a winding box.
