The trickiest part will be opening the watch case first and closing it last, the rest is quite obvious.

Some watches just pop open, others have tiny screws, others the back must be unscrewed, etc. Many of these watches only require a jeweler's screwdriver, but the ones on which the back must be unscrewed a special vise attachment and a jeweler's spanner set must be purchased to hold the watch still and turn the back (these cost from $20 to $100).

Another tricky item is a tiny o-ring gasket to keep water out. This should be replaced with a brand new one each time the watch is opened (although I've frequently put the same one back in). If you are not a jeweler you may have a hard time finding the correct one for your watch. Also if the watch was factory sealed water resistant to a certain depth, opening it to replace the battery breaks this seal and most local jewelers do not have the equipment to reseal and verify it.

Other than these things, just note the orientation of the battery in the holder in the watch, remove it and install the new battery in the same orientation.
