Smart Watches do not have Movements.
Back in the 60's a smart watch kept reasonable time during the day.
The Acutron ($$$ even in the 60's)was one of the first Electric watches that kept time for weeks.
I got a Timex electric that lost a couple of seconds a DAY and tried to have it adjusted by a Timex service. I got yelled at. '2 seconds, they are rarely that great'. Now days, the cheapest digital does better than that.
