Ginny has some watches she really likes. When the batteries poop out we have taken them to some guy that will replace them for about twenty bucks. Often her watches aren't worth that much new. I have resisted doing the battery replacement myself because I had a hard time seeing what I was doing. Now that I have a binocular magnifier I decided to give it a go with a watch she really likes. When I opened it up I was surprised to find a little plastic retainer which held the works and the battery in place. I got a new battery at Kroger and replaced it. Didn't screw anything up. GInny was thrilled to have her watch (the Sunday one) back in service.
