How do you change the battery
The back cover does not screw off. You'll need to pry it open where the narrow slots are next to the watch bands. See video J2KkDFXEEJ4 on youtube for how to do it.
You don't need that special tool, I used a pick hook tool from Harbor Freight #66836 to open it up and it worked fine.
To replace the battery, there are two very tiny flat head slotted screws that you need to loosen (don't need to remove them) to remove the battery hold down (carefully note how it goes in, the two sides of the hold down are different), then you can pop the battery out and replace it. It uses an AG1 or SR621SW or 364 battery, not the 379 battery someone mentioned above.
If the battery leaked you can use a q-tip dipped in white vinegar to clean the battery crud off, then use other side of q-tip dipped in iso alcohol to clean that up, then dry it with another q-tip.
To put the battery hold down back, first put the side that is U-shaped in first, then slip the other side under its screw. Tighten that one down, then tighten the other side down. Put cover back on and off you go!
I used the Harbor Freight #38896 magnifier (without the built in lights, used a better light) and it worked great. Those screws are really tiny and they are hard to see. You'll need a very, very small precision screwdriver for them.

Get a #0 1.6mm precision Phillps screwdriver (these are brittle) or similarly strong, thin piece of steel.
Hold the watch upside-down across your index finger while gripping the straps tightly between your index finger and thumb on one side, and index finger and middle finger on the other (ie. squeeze the strap around your index finger).
On the underside of the watch, stick the tip of the screwdriver under a square slot where the watchband is connected at an angle perpendicular to the strap. Firmly pry upwards on the cover on one side, then the other, until the cover pops off.
The battery is a Renata 379.
To put the cover back on, align the square slots precisely with the ends of the straps (keep these out straight), then firmly push the cover straight down until it "snaps" shut.

Most watches are either screwed on and typically have a series of small notches around the circumference of the case back. A special tool is generally called for. Otherwise they are "snap back" . These are simply pressed on. To remove you can carefully use a regular knife in the absence of a "case knife". There is usually a small gap/groove/notch area to insert the balde and lift the back off.

Thank you for contacting FixYa.
After a battery is replaced, some watches require new gaskets, or O rings, etc to keep the watch water resistant. Prob the case with your watch. I would check with a qualified local watch repair or try Gucci at following link:
