Not really input related, but is it remotely plausible that winding could charge the battery?

Absolutely not.
1. The dynamo would take up too much room
2. Pinching a tiny metal shaft is ergonomically awful
3. have you seen the tiny wind-up flashlights? they're huge, and they require quite a lot of winding, and that's just to power an LED for a few minutes.
4. groundbreaking features like a wind-up piece of personal electronics, are *flagship* features. If this thing had a 1 week battery, or was windup, or whatever, that would be a *very high visibility* part of the ad campaign.
