Mechanical watches are usually divided into two types: hand-wound and walking-wound. Both types of mechanical watches are powered by the spring in the movement, which drives the gears and then pushes the hands, but the source of power is different. If it is a manual mechanical watch, it only needs to be wound. As long as there is a winding, it will go no matter whether you wear it or not.
What is the reason why the mechanical watch does not move?
Under normal circumstances, there are roughly two reasons why the watch does not move. The first is because of insufficient kinetic energy. The second is due to a malfunction of the mechanical watch. The reasons why the mechanical watch does not run are common faults such as bumps, movement gear misalignment, the magnetization of the watch, and the sludge that has dried up after a long time of storage, etc., all of which will cause the mechanical watch to not run. Some people think that since it is a fully automatic mechanical watch, there is no need to worry about it, but in fact, this is a misunderstanding. The so-called fully automatic mechanical watches operate under the action of an automatic winding mechanism that can be wound up when the automatic top rotates in any direction. It is conceivable that as long as the watch is worn on the hand, as the arm moves, the automatic rotor will also rotate to generate energy.
How to solve the problem that the mechanical watch does not go away?
Since the power of the automatic mechanical watch needs to be wound by arm movement, if there is no activity or the amount of exercise suddenly decreases, or if it is not worn for a long time, the mechanical watch may not be able to move due to insufficient power. To solve this situation, just put the watch back on and exercise normally. Either take off the watch before going to bed and shake it horizontally for about 2 minutes, or shake it for 4 minutes to make the mechanical watch go longer, but it is recommended to wear it on your wrist for at least 6 to 8 hours a day.
