What is a kinetic watch and how does it work?
is the energy of movement. A kinetic watch uses the everyday motion of the wearer to operate. The watch stores kinetic energy that is captured by simple, everyday movements, such as shaking someone’s hand, swinging your arms while walking or turning the steering wheel while driving. The energy is captured when the movements of the person’s arms and hands causes a weight to oscillate within the watch. This energy is then stored in a capacitor that discharges slowly over time. This allows the watch to run long after your have removed it or continue operating while you are sleeping.
