A wristwatch is worn on the wrist and tells the current time. A stopwatch is held in the hand, and is used to time the duration of an event. A wristwatch is always running, telling the time. A stopwatch is started and then stopped.
The purpose of a wristwatch is to conveniently and accurately tell time. It is a portable timekeeping device that is worn on the wrist for easy access and reference throughout the day. Additionally, wristwatches can be worn as a fashion accessory or status symbol.
The item used to measure time worn on the wrist is called a wristwatch or simply a watch.
The difference in spelling is due to the evolution of language over time. "Wristwatch" likely became a compound word due to its common usage, while "pocket watch" may have retained its two-word form for historical reasons or to differentiate it from other types of watches.
A self-winding watch will have the rotor (a spinning weight) inside the caseback (the "lid" on the underside of the watch), which for some particular makes and models do not have a display caseback (a caseback with a window to show the rotor and the movement) makes it difficult to identify.

The second wristwatch was invented by the Swiss watchmaker Patek Philippe in the late 19th century. This marked a shift towards wristwatches being seen as fashionable accessories as opposed to just timekeeping instruments.
The first wristwatch was made by Patek Philippe in 1868. He deigned it for Countess Koscowicz of Hungary, more as an attractive piece of jewelry than a way to tell the time.
The first wristwatch chronograph was invented in 1914 by Heuer. It was a pocket chronograph adapted to be worn on the wrist. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TAG_Heuer

David Jones invented the first DIY wristwatch that can be programmed in C (when?), and moved development of the firmware to SourceForge in 2008. ''However, wasn't there an earlier non-DIY computer wristwatch?''
Yes, a wristwatch is considered to be a piece of jewelry because it is a decorative item worn on the body.
