In some watches it is necessary to turn the crown wheel (usually anticlockwise) before pulling it out. (This is to give added water resistance).

Try turning it left before pulling.

your watch module has to be cleaned that's why it stucks.

mcdevito75 here, Battery usually lasts 1 year and longer, even if you did change the battery yourself now, you"d forget for a year or even longer next time battery needeed to be changed, I know I did. Add to this you can easily destroy your watch with in-correct handleing. BEST BET, look for a small watch repair shop in your area for this battery change $10--$15.00 and peace of mind.

Thank you for contacting FixYa.
First of all, unless it is stamped or it is in the manual, I cant tell you what size battery, nor can a watchmaker unless they take measurements of the watch area.
You have a nice watch. My BEST advice is to take to an authorized Geneve watch dealer or to send direct to them (contact them first).

You can send it via instructions given above, or take to a local jeweler. They will be able to pull out the old battery to see what it takes. Usually is less then $15 to have someone else remove and replace.

There may be three number on the back of a watch.
1) The case number.
2) the movement number.
3) the serial number for the case +watch assembly.

purchase one

Your watch has a clip-on back. Open it and change the battery.

You are right, this type of watch can be opened by lifting crystal and extruding the stem. As for lifting the crystal you need a specialized tool, there is no other way then to go and find your nearest watchmakers shop. If you will try to lift the crystal using knife or any other unspecified tool, you will damage the crystal. Even if you will be lucky enough to get it out without any damage, you will not be able to fit it back, because the watch crystal setting tool reduces the crystal diameter for easy fitting.
Best solution for you is to see the watchmaker and ask for help.
