They're just words... adjectives usually

A mechanical, non automatic, watch would need to be wound.

A self winding watch would wind itself......but not without your input (or an automatic winder), so, clearly it is not self winding...Now days most are referred to as automatic.

Now, if we're talking about people....I've seen some that can wind themselves up pretty quickly..

I don't know any automatic people...
