Most hybrids are compatible with any CR2430 coin cell battery, which allows them to hold a charge for 4 to 6 months. Swapping in a new coin cell lithium battery can be done easily and in just a few simple steps, plus CR2430 batteries are available from most retailers that sell batteries.
Jennifer, have the battery changed at a jewelers, they do not charge much as long it is not a high class place. If the battery does not fix it, then it would have to be some kind of electrical fault in watch.
You are going to have to remove the battery to find out which one you need. For instructions on how to do this see: http://www.mademan.com/mm/fossil-watch-battery-replacement-guide.html. You can buy the battery at: http://shop.batterymart.com/search#w=fossil%20ch2599%20watch%20battery. Replacing a Fossil battery is delicate and tricky. Fossil recommends that you send it to a shop that specializes in Fossil watch battery replacements.
I have no idea what type, ...but having just replaced a battery for that exact watch, you have 2 options: 1.) Mail it into Fossil (cost is $18.50) you can download & print repair form here: http://www.fossil.com/attachments/en_US/watch_repair_form.pdf
2) Physically take it into any Fossil store in US or CANADA where they can do it there on site, for $10.00 even.
It is not likely that there is a protective cover over the battery itself, if there is anything on it to prevent use while not owned it is a little pc of plastic holding the stem out. It is sad to say but there is no way to tell how long the watch had the current battery in it before you received it. It is common to get a new watch and have the battery die shortly after or be already dead. Go to a local jewelry store to have replaced, make sure they are able to test the old one FIRST, if the battery is dead, allow them to replace it, if the battery is fine, return the watch to Amazon.
