Best Answer

No. A wristwatch is a device used to monitor the passage of time, popularly referred to

as a "clock" or "timepiece".

It has no kinetic energy while it's lying on the dresser. It acquires a small amount of

kinetic energy when you put it on your wrist and walk around. It acquires a greater

amount of kinetic energy if you take it off and throw it at somebody.

When you wind a watch you use mechanical energy, which is then stored in the watchspring
