My first question, which is probably stupid, would be: do all replicas have a self winding battery? i am not sure if thats the correct name in english.

I mean that all replicas I bought (only 3 cheap ones so far) stop at night and I need to put them on time everymorning.

are there replicas with automatic battery?


Cheers

Most good replicas should have a power reserve of at least 36 hours. In the case of an automatic (self winding) watch that means that it should still be running in the morning. You must be buying very bad reps indeed if they will not stay running over night as even the cheapest movements in our watches will do so.

Some reps are "hand wind" meaning they do not wind themselves when you wear them. A good example of these are most Panerai. Even these should only need winding once a day.
