Take it to a jewelers. Not worth the risk because of the Water resistant to 10 Ats (100 Mtrs)

watch's use lots of different batteries, the only way you will be able to find out which is needed is to take of the back casing and see what number is on the battery.
be careful when putting the casing back on, because most watch's have a rubber seal that comes out of place, a lot of people sever it when putting the casing back on.
it wont cost you very much to just take it to a watch or shop that sells the batteries, they usually will change the battery for you.
if its waterproof youll probably need to take it to a jeweler because special tools are needed to open most watches and certain skill is required not to damage the water seal when opening or to make sure the seal is proper when closing.
its not just submergent water you need to worry about, if your seals not done properly, humidity can permeate through the seal and after even mere months, water droplets can collect .
permeate btw means to kind of phase or dissolve through solids and holes too small to observe anything flow through, like a hole in a bottle too small for water to pour out of but big enough for steam to seep out of.
In short, go to a jeweler, also they will have batteries for all watches so youll be able to get it done immediately.
i advise going to one of those ones in the center of paths at malls, smaller jewelers, master jewelers might charge a bit much, since the process takes half an hour and their value per time can vary from $50-200/h
Hi so go to a local jeweller in town to get one fitted.
