There are people who won't wear *any* watch outside on Shabbos, unless 
one would wear it even if it weren't working. But that's because of 
issur tiltul.  It's got nothing to do with any issur connected with the 
watch itself or what it's doing.  They'll wear watches where there's an 
eruv.    But afaik nobody has a problem with a self-winding watch.
