An automatic watch is a mechanical watch.
Did you mean hand-wound?
Definitely mechanical. On long office days spent mainly on a computer, I tend to use up more power reserve than I replenish, so I end up winding automatics most days anyway, and never know how much power reserve I have left. I have four hand wound watches in my collection, and more of them would be if you got the depth of choice you get with auto watches.

Yep, hand-wound or self-winding.
Wouldn't have a hand-cranker, I'm clumsy and have already broken the crown off my Seamaster 300 (expensive fix!), & I'm forgetful so it'd probably be stopped most of the time, + I'm lazy 🤣 (had a Chris'Ward handwound, was always forgetting to wind it, didn't enjoy winding it & flogged it after a few weeks)
So no, Automatic only for me.
Quartz.
Automatic.
But the hand winding movement is totally ok for special occations. Like dress watches.
Yes.
All automatics are mechanical. Not all mechanicals are automatics.
All oranges are fruits. Not all fruits are oranges.
Either. there is Something that clicks about Hand Wound Movements.
