"Water resistance" determines the use of the watch. According to ISO 22810:

Automatic: Watches with an automatic movement do not need manual winding, as they wind with the movement of the hand by rotating a rotor that tightens the mainspring.
Μπαταρίας: these are the well-known quartz watches – that is, watches that operate with the energy provided by a battery.
Solar: Watches with a solar movement convert solar energy into electrical energy, which is stored in the rechargeable battery and used to power the watch.
Eco - Drive: Watches with an Eco-Drive movement convert any kind of light into energy, which powers the watch. With a full charge, it runs for months even in the dark, without requiring regular battery replacement.
Kinetic: Kinetic watches use a combination of automatic and quartz movement, converting motion into electrical energy and storing it in a capacitor.

Chronograph: This refers to a time-measuring mechanism inside the watch that works like an independent stopwatch. It is activated, stopped, and reset by pressing special buttons, offering practicality for everyday or more demanding use.
