How is energy stored in a wind up watch?

In a wind-up watch, energy is stored in a tightly wound spring called the mainspring. When the crown of the watch is wound, the spring is tightened, storing potential energy. As the mainspring unwinds, it releases this potential energy, which is transferred through a series of gears to power the movement of the watch hands.

When a windup toy is released the energy is the compressed spring is converted into the energy of the toy's moving part's?

When a wind-up toy is released, the potential energy stored in the compressed spring is converted into kinetic energy, causing the toy's moving parts to start moving as the spring unwinds. This kinetic energy drives the motion of the toy until the energy in the spring is fully depleted.
