An automatic watch is powered by the energy of the person who wears it. Wrist movement enables the mechanism to run. The Powermatic 80 movement boasts 80 hours of power reserve, which is enough to continue telling time accurately even if the watch is not worn for three days.

Generally speaking, 80 revolutions of the crown are enough to fully wind most automatic mechanical watches.

Tissot, as one of the main users of the movement, states that the accuracy is usually in the range of a deviation of -15 to +15 seconds per day.

Tissot Watch Movements: A Hallmark of Quality

Depending on the models, the power reserve ranges from 40 to 46 hours. Note: Accuracy is influenced by the way the watch is worn. TISSOT ® Quartz watches benefit from the incomparable precision of quartz. Their power reserve usually enables them to operate for more than 2 years in continuous use.

The short answer is no, you cannot technically overwind an automatic watch. Unlike manual watches, which require the wearer to wind the crown to store energy in the mainspring, automatic watches utilize a rotor mechanism that winds the mainspring through the motion of the wearer's wrist.
