I had a cheap automatic in college, sadly lost it in a move.

But I loved it so much, kept itself wound up without issue, and it was amazing to look at all the tiny parts that made it work.

There are some good enough automatics out now at very reasonable prices.

Of course there are also crazy expensive ones also, but they all do essentially the same thing - convert your movements into time measurements ๐Ÿ˜€
