No, the weight continues to spin on its gear/bearing mechanism, BUT once the watch reaches full winding capacity, there is a clutch mechanism that decouples the spinning weight from further winding. An automatic watch never overwinds with continued motion, it just stays fully wound. Some watch manufacturers design their automatics to wind in only one direction; others prefer a bidirectional design. Watch TIme had a nice article on this last year.

How do you keep an automatic watch moving?
You can keep an automatic watch moving by wearing it regularly to allow your movements to power the watch through the rotor. You can also use a watch winder to keep the watch running when not in use. Lastly, manual winding the watch periodically can also keep it moving.
How does an automatic watch winder work?

How does a watch winder work?

What is the difference between a kinetic watch and an automatic watch?
An automatic is a completely mechanical watch, the wearer's movement winds the spring in the watch which then powers the watch, whereas a kinetic uses the movement to add charge to a battery contained within the quartz movement of the watch. Both systems essentially use movements transfered to power the watch through weights which move in the watch. A kinetic watch is likely to be more accurate than an automatic as it uses a quartz movement, although many modern automatic movements are very accurate to +/- 10 seconds per 24hrs or less. If you do not use an automatic watch for more than 36-48 hrs the movement will usually have stopped as the energy contained within the spring is likely to have been drained over this point, and will then need to be worn / given a gentle shake to get the watch moving again, so you would have to reset the time / date at this point. Some automatic watches now show how much 'power' they have remaining on their face. An automatic watch is likely to require more regular servicing than a kinetic or quartz watch as there are more moving parts.
What is the difference between a Seiko automatic watch and a Seiko kinetic watch?
A Seiko automatic watch relies on the motion of the wearer's wrist to wind the mainspring and power the watch, while a Seiko kinetic watch generates electricity using a spinning rotor powered by the wearer's movement. Kinetic watches typically have a rechargeable battery to store the generated energy, while automatic watches do not require a battery.
What is watch winder and what is it's purpose?
A watch winder is a device used to help automatic watches remain in good condition when they are not worn. When automatic watches are worn, the moving weight inside of them winds the wind through the force of gravity as the watch is moved on your hand. However, when the watch is not worn, the moving weight cannot move around to wind your watch and lubricate the internal devices. Therefore, the purpose the of the winder is to wind the watch and keep it in condition.
