A new kinetic watch should wind enough just from normal daily arm movement. If it keeps running out then it can be wound manually by hand by taking the watch off and holding on to the band, shaking it into a semi circular pattern for a few minutes. An older watch will run out sooner not because of less movement but because the battery loses it's charge quicker. ( the winding charges the battery) There are also watch winders on the market, which are just a small box that you put the watch in and a electric motor rotates the box. They should be inexpensive, but they aren't. A two place winder will be around 100. and a one watch winder around 60-75.00$ They are used at night to wind the watch while you sleep.

A compass on a watch typically works by utilizing a magnetized needle that aligns itself with the Earth's magnetic field, pointing towards the magnetic north pole. The watch also includes directional markers to help determine the cardinal directions based on the position of the needle.
