How do you start watch?

On a battery-powered watch, just replace the battery and it'll come on. On a solar-powered watch, just let it sit in sunlight or some form of bright ambient light, and it will charge itself. On automatic and "kinetic" watches, just shake it for about a minute and it will have enough power to run for a day or two to a week.
