Got a good reply on the battery. Further question to see if it’s worth replacing the battery - How can I clean black spotting that’s all over the rose gold trim of the watch? It doesn’t feel like it’s pitted so it seems like it s/b cleanable. The watch isn’t old and none of my other watches have this problem. There appears to be a groove on the back but the back doesn't pry off and is sunken that contributes to difficult access. A small knife blade fits in the groove but won't pry the back off.
Changing Watch Batteries
Lots of posters ask "what is the battery in my (name of watch)" with a view to changing it yourself. This is a bad idea for many reasons. You don't have the tools or knowledge to remove a rotary screw on back, or the gasket sealant for a waterproof watch. Some fashion watches have 4 traditional screw and need professional grade jeweler screwdrivers. Also, there are about 20 batteries commonly used in watches, in various sizes and internal technology, Lithium Ion, Silver Oxide and Manganese Alkaline. If you buy them, you generally have to buy 10!
Don't sweat the details. Just take the watch to your local jeweler. They have all the batteries at hand and the tools to remove the back. It is done whilst you wait for $8 to $15!
