A wristwatch is worn on the wrist and tells the current time. A stopwatch is held in the hand, and is used to time the duration of an event. A wristwatch is always running, telling the time. A stopwatch is started and then stopped.
The item used to measure time worn on the wrist is called a wristwatch or simply a watch.
The difference in spelling is due to the evolution of language over time. "Wristwatch" likely became a compound word due to its common usage, while "pocket watch" may have retained its two-word form for historical reasons or to differentiate it from other types of watches.
A self-winding wristwatch, also known as an automatic watch, uses the movement of the wearer's arm to wind the mainspring and power the watch. You can typically determine if a wristwatch is self-winding by looking for a rotor (a semi-circular metal weight) on the back of the watch movement that rotates when the watch is worn. If the watch requires manual winding, there may be a crown to wind the mainspring.
When the spring of a wristwatch is wound, it tightens and stores potential energy. This energy is gradually released as the spring unwinds, powering the movement of the watch hands and allowing timekeeping to occur.
