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.

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.

Why does watch stop when laid down When worn it keeps time?

Most mechanical wristwatches currently being manufactured are "self-winding watch", also called "automatic watch". Some electronic wristwatches are "automatic quartz watch". Both kinds of wristwatches convert the motion -- of the person wearing it -- into the energy to run it. When set down, the energy reserve in such a watch will eventually run out and the watch will stop. (The mainspring of such mechanical watches typically stores enough energy to keep the watch running for roughly two days. The storage capacitor of such quartz wristwatches typically stores enough energy to keep the watch running for at least two weeks). If the watch is mechanical, it would reqire the user to regularly wear it, so that its spring can be wound up by mechanical movement. If it is electronic, it could be a sign that either the contacts for the battery in the watch loose, or that the battery is losing power.
