Automatic watches are self-winding ie. they need no battery and are wound by the slightest movement of the owner's wrist. Rolex invented the modern automatic back in the 1930s.
A quartz watch is powered by a battery - it keeps time by pulsing electrical current through the tiny quartz crystal, which oscillates at a predictable rate and hence keeps very accurate time. Quartz watches can have either an analog dial with the traditional hands or have a digital display - or both.

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.
