An automatic watch has a rotor that winds the watch through movement on the wrist. It’s mechanical. But there are mechanical watches that are not automatic and require hand winding to power the watch, lacking the rotor that “automatically” winds the watch
Aren’t those just automatic watches? I thought most people don’t have too many automatic watches in their collection?

All automatics are mechanical but not all mechanicals are automatic.
