Snap off or screw backs both need special tools to remove. Simplest answer is take it to a watch maker or competent jeweller to replace the battery and if necessary re-seal the opening.
All decent watch repairers should issue at least 6 months warranty on their craftsmanship. If the watch repairer can not resolve the problem and your watch is still stopping, you can ask for full refund. Next time save your nerves and time - find on the web where your nearest Omega dealer is and bring the watch to them. It may take quite a lot of time and cost dearer, but you will have your watch serviced at proper Omega workshop and will get original Omega warranty.
Casebacks can be attached in several ways. The most common is a snap-on type. The back will be smooth and if you look closely around the edge you should see a small slot somewhere along the edge where you can insert the edge of a caseback removal knife - it looks like a small oyster shucking knife - to pry the case open. The caseback me be very difficult to snap back on and require the use of a caseback plier or pressing tool.
If the caseback is held in place by screws, you can carefully unscrew them using a good quality jeweler's screwdriver. the real cheap mini-divers will bend and scratch the watch. Another common method is a screwdown caseback. You will see indentaitions on the edge of the case back to recieve a caseback wrench to unscrew it. If your watch is water resistant, don't forget to replace the gasket as they are only good once. Most watch shops will replace the battery while you wait for about $8 so that may be your best bet.
Most people dont have a "rolex" case opener laying around their house! :-) That caseback probably screws on...sometimes they dont! Look for a small notch on the edge of the caseback, if you find it then it will pop off with a small knife! Just be careful not to cut yourself! :-) If its a screw on caseback then you really should take it to a reputable watch repair shop!
If caseback is without grooves, it is snap on caseback and you have to insert openers blade under the lip and pry up. Lip is the tiny gap between the case and caseback. If you have groves in caseback, it is screwdown caseback and you will need special opening tool. Insert the blades in to the grooves and unscrew the caseback. You can find this tool on eBay.
There are 2 ways that Fossil closes the caseback on their watches. It is either a 'pop-off' caseback that you will need to pry off. Get something very small and thin, such as a small flathead screwdriver. There is usually a small groove somewhere around the edge of the caseback where you can insert the blade. The other type screws off. You will need to unscrew the caseback. You can determine if it screws off by looking for 6 notches around the outside edge of the caseback. You will use these notches to insert a tool to rotate the caseback off. Without a specialized tool called a watch-wrench, I suggest bringing it to a store such as Precision Time or Tourneau.
