Talk:Automatic watch

Omega Speedmaster
After researching a bit online I have this to contribute: Many sources state that indeed the automatic chronograph was first mass produced in 1969, so it couldn't have been available for testing by NASA for the 1962 test. I couldn't find any details on the watches offered for the 1972 test, but for the 1979 test, Omega offered 3 watches, amongst which was the 125, which is an automatic. So in view of the lack of reliable sources backing the pendulum theory, I'm removing the relevant section. --Ferengi 16:32, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Rolex manual-wind
The article seems to suggest that Rolex doesn't make manual-wind watches. They do -- they make a line of dress watches called Cellini, and many of those are manual-wind. Ifnkovhg (talk) 23:35, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Vostok
Armitron is NOT the first company to offer automatic watches under $100. Vostok.(Russia, not Europe), has long offered automatics with.17 to 31 jewel movements for.far under that price. A 31 jewel automatic Amphibia model can.be had for as low as $50 to $60. These are extremely durable watches first designed for military use. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.135.77.209 (talk) 18:59, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Early history before 1900
I previously (about May 2014) added the early history of self-winding watches, but this has been deleted.

Why????

Do we want readers to believe that nothing happened before 1923?

 * I agree that should be restored. I believe it has been removed several times.  Go ahead and put it back. -- Chetvorno TALK 03:43, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

OK, it will be updated a bit.Summerleas (talk) 04:53, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

Major Revision
I have made the following changes:

Text:
Added Early (pocket watch) history.

Added introduction to wristwatch history to link it to the pocket watch history.

Minor changes throughout to match the text with the added history.

Footnotes:
The note has been retained, but the link has been deleted because it can only be accessed with a password.

The reference has been deleted because the links are dead.

Despite some of the history being obsolete this reference has been kept. I think it should be deleted or replaced if a better source can be found.

Harwood Photograph
The text correctly states "the hands were moved manually by rotating a bezel around the face of the watch" but obviously that cannot be done with the watch in the photo. Is there a suitable photo that matches the text? Summerleas (talk) 00:18, 25 November 2016 (UTC)
