No, its magic !
Since automatic watch winders are made for automatic watches, they will not work on battery powered watches. The two are not compatible. Battery powered watches are powered by quartz or ion lithium batteries.

The first battery powered watch was publicly announced on January 3rd, 1957 by Hamilton, an American watch. This watch however was a mechanical watch, which is different from the most common (and more accurate) type of battery powered watch that is used today which is called a 'quartz' watch. The first company to successfully develop, produce, and sell a quartz watch commercially was Seiko on December 25th, 1969.

Heaters for what purpose?
No, Earl Bakken invented the first wearable Battery powered PaceMaker.
This refers to a Quartz Movement which means the watch is battery powered
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.
