What is a quartz movement?

"Watches and clocks with a quartz movement are driven by a battery. This sends an electric current through quartz crystals that will vibrate. These vibrations are passed on to the movement. Because the vibrations have a fixed frequency, watches and clocks with a quartz movement are extremely precise."

Hello, my watch stops the second every so often, I press the top right button when that happens and the second hand activates but again a few minutes pass and it stops. What should I do?

Dear Sir or Madam, I received a very nice wristwatch from you. I would find it much nicer if I could get this watch to work. I tried to download an operating manual from the Internet, but unfortunately it only worked in English. I couldn't do anything with it because I live in Germany and I don't speak English. I read that every watch comes with a German operating manual in the package.

I no longer have the manual in Italian. How can I reset the function of the chronograph and the related hands?
