The best automatic watches

An automatic winds itself as you wear it, and it's where most people start to care about what's inside a watch. The movements below run from Seiko's workhorse 4R36 to Rolex's 70-hour 3235.

Power reserve matters more than it used to: a modern 70- or 80-hour automatic can sit for a weekend and still be running on Monday.

How we picked

We considered every current self-winding watch in the almanac and picked across price levels, favoring long power reserves and cases that wear well. “Fits” is the range of wrist sizes where the watch grades as an ideal fit on our lug-to-lug model. Prices are US retail and change often.
