Quartz movement means the watch is powered by a small battery that needs to be replaced on a regular basis. A good battery will normally last more than a year, and will often last several years.
The Eco-Drive watch by Citizen is powered by light. I found the following detailed description on Wikipedia: "Most Eco-Drive type watches are equipped with a special titanium lithium ion secondary battery that is charged by an amorphous silicon solar cell located behind the dial. The titanium lithium-ion composition precludes it from being affected from the regular charge/discharge cycle of other types of rechargeable batteries. Light passes through the covering crystal and dial before it reaches the solar cell.
Depending on the electronic movement model, a fully charged secondary power cell could run with no further charging anywhere from 30 days to 3,175 days (8.7 years), though most Eco-Drive men's watch models offer a six-month power reserve.
I've owned one of these Citizen watches for about ten years already, and it keeps excellent time while looking great on my wrist.
