You can choose to visit the local watchmaker and pay him €20 / $30 to change the battery - BUT - you could also choose to change it yourself with the feeling afterwards that you actually did it :)
The majority of the men's watches and women's watches at authentic.dk has a backside of the dial that is 'snapped' on the case which does not require special tools to disassemble.
Just like in the guide ' How do I change my watch strap', Max and Mathias from detalmeneur.dk have been so kind to let me use their photos.

How to change the battery on your watch
1. Disassemble the braclet (if it's a steel bracelet watch)
To make the job easier - you can dissemble the bracelet, if the watch has a steel bracelet. There is a little split in the bracelet by the lock, and with a pointed object - e.g. a needle or the point of a pen - you can push the spring at the end of the split and thereby disassembling the braclet.

2a. Back side case without screws: Remove the back side case by prying it softly

2b. Back side case with screw function: Remove the back side case with a special tool.

3. Remove the battery and replace it

4. Reverse the operation
Remember this guide works both for men's watches and women's watches.
