There is a weight mounted off-balance on a shaft so that it hangs down. It has a one-way ratchet connected to a reduction gear so that motion in one direction winds the spring. In the other direction the shaft just turns freely.
As you move about, walking, running, gesturing, whatever, your wrist moves back and forth. As your wrist changes position the weight causes the shaft to turn and the ratchet captures the motion to wind the main spring.
Answerman is correct. I will only add that the weight in the watch is a semicircular one that swings with your movements. As answerman says it drives a ratchet etc. This arrangement does wind a traditional spring.
For couple of days it didnt have holder that with battery no resetting.
For couple of days it would have to reset it would have to reset it would stop and no resetting.
