Yes, prolonged exposure to X-rays can potentially damage the delicate components of an automatic watch, potentially disrupting its movement or accuracy. It is advisable to avoid exposing automatic watches to X-rays whenever possible.

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.


How does an automatic watch winder work?

An automatic watch is operated by using the motion of the person wearing it to wind itself. An automatic watch winder emulates the movement of a person to wind the watch when someone is not wearing it.


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.


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.

Where is the main source of energy of an automatic watch from?

The main source of energy used in an automatic watch is kinetic energy, which the watch's mechanism absorbs through the movements of the wrist.

Why is lead is used in xrays and xray shield?

What is the difference between automatic watches and manual watches?

A watch's mechanism that is powered by a manual activity such as being wound up by hand or by the movement of the watch. Automatic watches require constant wearing or they need to be placed in a watch winder box to maintain the winding and settings of the automatic watch. A watch winder allows you to own more than one automatic watch and not have to worry about resetting the time on any of them. Manual watches you need to wind, automatic watches wind themselves. http://www.thewatchery.com
