I have a watch problem. It's odd, sometimes the times shows further, and sometimes shows slower.?

Question

This is a normal Casio analog watch, with a word 'Quarts' below it, a silver colored, medium sized which I've been bought around a year ago. Until now, it shows me up this weird symptoms where it sometimes faster and sometimes slower than the current time. Let's say now the time is 8.40 pm, and the watch shows 9.40 pm. When I corrected it back to 8.40 pm, suddenly when I woke up the day after it shows back one hour late than the current time I saw on that day, like 7.30 am where the correct time should be 8.30 am. 

What's wrong? Could it be a battery problem?
The watch is just an analog watch with no date displays.
I never opened the case or changing its battery before.

It's just weird. What's wrong??

i remember many many moons ago, the mechanisms in my body, would mess my watch up.. but yes it could very well be the battery : )

It is possible that this is a battery problem but more likely the watches timing mechanism has developed a fault.

Quartz is a crystal that outputs a frequency very precise interval. This interval is then converted into seconds by a microprocessor which is used as a basis for the timing of the watch.

This circuit could have developed a fault or perhaps there is a mechanical fault with the hands that indicate the time
