The minutes hand stuck at a position

Check if the battery is still in good condition. If this doesn't solve the problem, swipe a magnet over the back of the watch in different directions until the minute hand moves. Take care not to scratch the watch with the magnet. It may be necessary to oscillate the magnet several times at the correct position and direction until the minute hand moves freely.

No reason to panic as your watch hands can be advanced to desired time. Her is the link for your watch users manual download:

http://www2.casio.co.jp/manual_pdf/wat/en/pdf_search.php?MODULE=4305&submit.x=52&submit.y=12

Save it on your PC and follow instructions how to set the time.
Don't forget to rate, please.

The manual explains it clearly From here http://www.citizenwatch.com/CUK/English/settingsresults.asp?caliber=e870

Press MODE until you reach H-S (e.g. A 11:00 with seconds on top)

Press and hold ADJUST for 3 seconds until H-S blinks

Press and hold SEARCH for every movement; you may wanna press LIGHT so the hands will move freely. Press ADJUST again to when desired time was reached

See: http://ftp.casio.co.jp/pub/world_manual/wat/en/qw4303.pdf
and go to the section "Adjusting the Home Position"

This is a "calibration" procedure to get the motor of the analog movement back to the home position of 12:00. This worked for me, after replacing the battery.

Note that in this procedure the hour hand does not move separately, but moves with the minute hand. So to get the hour hand to move, you have to let the minute hand spin a number of times until you get the hour hand up to twelve o'clock.
