Best Automatic Watches

Self-winding mechanical watches — no battery, no solar, just pure watchmaking.

An automatic watch is powered by the motion of your wrist — no battery required. The rotor spins as you move, winding the mainspring that drives the movement. Every watch here is a genuine mechanical timepiece with a self-winding movement, ranging from Seiko's workhorse NH35 to Swiss ETA and in-house calibres.

Automatic vs. Quartz — Which Should You Choose?

Quartz watches are more accurate and require less maintenance. Automatic watches are more interesting — they're mechanical marvels that connect you to centuries of watchmaking tradition. The 'tick' of a quartz watch fires once per second; an automatic movement oscillates 6–10 times per second, producing that smooth sweep of the seconds hand. For most people, an automatic watch is the more satisfying choice.
