Question

Is it permissible to wear a watch that operates by the movement of a person - an automatic watch that stops working if not moved for 48 hours? Is it allowed to wear it on Shabbat?

As long as the watch is still working, it is permissible to wear it. However, if the watch has stopped working and by wearing it and moving, it will start working again, it is forbidden to wear it on Shabbat.
