By 'automatic', do you mean self-winding? And do you mean in a state of weightlessness? I believe it would, as long as someone is wearing it. Wrist movements cause a self-winding mechanism to work based on the inertia of the weights within the watch. Inertia is a property of mass, and it does not go away in the absence of gravity. Battery powered and ordinary manually wound watches would also work, I believe.

"The fully-wound mainspring in a typical watch can store enough energy reserve for roughly two days, allowing automatics to keep running through the night while off the wrist.

Does a rolex run on your pulse?

No, all current Rolex models have "automatic" movements which means the watch is wound by hand and stays wound through the movement of your wrist. A half-moon shaped rotor inside the watch moves inside as your arm moves, always pointing down. This slight movement is all it takes to keep the watch's mainspring wound. Although if one isn't very active, the watch will still require hand-winding every 24-72hrs depending on the model.


does a wrist watch uses energy?

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.
