It is a watch that uses an oscillator based on a quartz crystal to electronically keep time. Older watches used gears and an escape mechanism to govern the speed. In a quartz watch, a precision cut piece of quartz is used in part of a circuit to generate a specific frequency. A quartz clock works similarly, but the quartz oscillator is used to control the speed of a motor.

What do the different movements of watches?
The two main categories are mechanical and quartz. Mechanical watches are split into two categories: manual and self-winding (aka automatic watch). Mechanical watches are powered by a wound spring that drives the gears. Automatic watches have a small spinning weight (called a rotor) that helps wind the spring which powers the watch. Manual watches rely on the watchwearer to wind the crown (knobs on a watch). Quartz watches are mostly powered by batteries and use the fast vibration of a quartz crystal to keep time.
