Place the watch face-down on a clean towel to protect the crystal.

Gently unscrew the backplate from the watch with a small jeweler's screwdriver and set it aside.

Locate the battery compartment and remove the screw holding the cover in place, using the screwdriver. The battery is a small, round silvery button.

Make a note of the battery polarity before you remove it. Is the battery positive (+) side up or negative (-)?

Take the battery with you to a watch shop or electronics store to buy a replacement.

Step 1 - Minimize the Moisture If your watch is exposed to moisture or falls into water, the first thing you want to do is move it to a dry location. Dry off the water on the outside of the watch with a soft rag. The glass on the front can be easily scratched, so be sure to use a soft cloth to wipe clean.
Step 2 - Remove the Cover Open the cover on the back of the watch very carefully. Often a small flathead screwdriver will help in turning the cover. Pour any water out that remains. Be careful not to touch any of the gears or parts of the watch as the watch may become irreparable.
Step 3 - Air Dry Lay the watch face down in a warm room to allow it to air dry for at least 24 hours. After replacing the cover, the watch will often return to normal use. However, it is still recommended to have the watch repaired by a professional watch repair shop. They will be able to seal the front and back properly to assure no future leaks. Have them run a pressure test to ensure there are no potential leak areas.
Standard Upkeep Proper maintenance is imperative, especially on delicate mechanisms like timepieces. Even before your watch fills with moisture or stops working, it is a good idea to maintain it on a regular basis. The inside of a watch is filled with tiny gears and sensitive parts that must be installed perfectly to work properly. Under normal use and regular maintenance, a good watch will work for a lifetime.
It is important to minimize wear and tear when possible. Even though you may not see a crack in the seal, there very well may be one that could ruin your timepiece. Water, especially salt water, can be very damaging to a watch. Find a reputable repair shop to recommend a maintenance schedule for your timepiece.

I am not sure about prices in US, but over here in England we charge £15 - £25 for mineral glass (depending on size, thickness, e.t.c.) and £50 - £120 for sapphire glass. As for today: £1 = 1.60$. Doesn't matter how you name it - glass or crystal, both are right.

Place the watch face down on a cloth, on a firm surface such as a table. find something the same diameter as the watch back and press firmly. Agentle tap may help

Remove the four screws that hold the battery cover on the back of the watch. Remove the 3 very small screws that hold the battery in place. Remove the battery from the battery holder. The piece that the 3 small screws were removed from seperates from the 3 volt 2016 energizer battery. Replace the battery with a new one. Re-install the battery holder to the watch. There is a small tab on the lower left part of the battery holder that needs to be depressed to activate the watch. Depress it and look at the face of the watch to make sure it is activated. The watch will need to have the time, date etc reset but you should now be able to see that the battery is working. Replace the battery cover and reset the time and date as needed.

I used to work with jewelry. !!BEWARE!!
This method is for face crystals that are completely FLAT! Any convex crystal will shatter without proper tools!!!
Any method of putting the watch cover back with the watch remotely near water/moisture is a mistake. The watch will rust sooner or later.
So if you don't want to pay a jeweler five dollars to put it back on, this is what I did to my sister's watch cover when I could not snap it back.
I took my cushy 1/4 inch mousepad to a vise. You may not have a vise. If you don't, stop reading now and take the watch to a jeweler --one who replaces batteries.
Inside the vise jaws, I used a 5 inch square piece of wood, then my cushy mousepad, then the watch facing the pad, then the back in the right place for restoring.
!!!!NOTE: Not having the back in the right place will smash the stem and damage can/will result!!!
To push the back on, I picked a 12 point socket out of my socket set that was the same DIAMETER as the watch back and placed it CENTERED behind the back.
Recapping, inside vise:

• small board
• cushy mousepad (to avoid scarring and crystal breakage
• watch crystal facing mousepad
• watch back in correct position
• ratchet socket the same diameter as watch back centered behind cover

Slowly I positioned all these items with minimal pressure. Then when I was sure that I was ready (and prepared to hear the crystal break) I put as little pressure closing the vise that I could. The I heard a snap, and to my relief, it was the back going in!

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO WHAT I DID. People with broken watch crystals become very IRATE when "all it needed was a battery"!

A screw clamp would also give adequate pressure. Any unsupported direct pressure over the crystal will shatter it!

Hope this helped.
Good luck!!!!

On most watches, if you get condensation within the face, means that there is a small crack on the glass/plastic covering. Some watches you can take apart from the back and pull out the workings and replace this casing, on others, you have to take it to the jewelers to have it replaced. Depending on how much you paid for the watch, you are better off buying a whole new one.
