I had my watch refurbished and returned to me but it is not running... it was overhauled by a professional jewler but when i got it back it wasnt ticking and since the watch is new to me i am not sure if it should be wound, if it runs on body movement or what???

sadly this is one of the hardest watch repairs so the problem is in two parts part one is it even possible to repair the break depends on where the break actually is and 2 the tougher part is finding a jewler that is any kind of craftsman most jewelers today are just salesmen not jewlers at all so the first step is finding an old world jewler good luch and I hope it can be saved!
You need to remove the back of the watch to get to the battery. If the watch is a water proof watch then the back is screwed on. After removing the back take care not to damage the gasket. If you cannot remove the back of the watch then take it to a watch repairer, they can replace the battery and it won't be expensive.
An 'overhaul' as we say in watchmaking refers to completely disassembling your watch, repairing or replacing parts as necessary, cleaning the movement in a machine designed for cleaning watches, reassembly, regulating the timekeeping to the best of the watches ability, polishing or cleaning the case and band and possibly replacing the crystal if necessary. It varies slightly from brand, watchmaker, quartz or mechanical, pocket or wrist but generally this is what an overhaul refers to. It is a complete refurbishment of your watch.
Just about any qualified jewler that sells watches will either be able to do the work or refer you to someone that can. The crystal shouldnt have to be removed. The case back comes off and then a retainer ring of plastic or metal comes off. The crown is removed and the movement should come out. I wouldnt suggest you try it yourself as jewlers use special tools and jigs to attach hands. Cost shouldnt be too bad depending on the jewler.
remove back cover plate- inside you will need a jewlers screw driver- install new batery in reverse. install screw- and snap cover back in place.Make sure battery is new.
