If they wear a mechanical watch and it's not a Rolex, high chance they're into watches.

What’s a mechanical watch? Aren’t all watches mechanical apart from smartwatches?

When it doesn’t need a battery, then it’s commonly referred to as a mechanical watch. A further distinction is an automatic watch, when it also doesn’t require manual winding to function and uses the movement of your wrist to stay powered.

Spring Drive is a category on its own.

Spring Drive does not have a battery, though.
