Cant figure out how to get back of watch open to get to battery to replace it

There are plenty of charts for battery equivalent on the Internet.
so open and remove battery then identify or bring to battery store to purchase new one.
opening the back you may need spanner type tool.
it may be easier to just bring to battery store for replacement.
i purchased tools and batteries from Amazon for doing watches in family. Figured saves about $80.00.
proper tools will help don't forget a closing clamp for snap close styles.

Watch backs are usually either push-fit and simply need to be levered off, or are twist-fit and need to be rotated off. If there are a number of indentations around the rim of the back then it is likely to twist off. You need to get a suitable tool or tools to remove the cover or you will damage the back of the watch. Check on amazon or ebay for watch repair tools. Getting the cover back on is usually harder with push-fit and is more likely to lead to damage without the correct tools.
Or take it to a watch shop and they will replace the battery for you!

Thank you for contacting FixYa.

Place the tip of your pocket knife in the slot on the back of the watch. Pry the back off.

Take your tweezers and grasp the metal piece that is hiding the battery.

Once that metal piece is out the battery should come out too.

Put the new battery in and cover it with the metal piece.

Put the back of the watch back on and snap it into place.

mcdevito75 here, Generally thr back is simply pryed off useing a sharp knife (steak) or with a case opener, or at times the back is screwed on, little square holes around the back of the watch require a special tool, or there may be 4 screws holding down the back to the case, even if you get the back off you may need Jewelers screwdrivers to remove / replace the battery. BEST BET, look for a small watch repair shop in your area.

Generally Diesel uses a pop off back. The pop off back will be smooth and have no indication of how to come off.

To remove a pop off back use a watch knife and press it straight into the separation between the case and back. Start at the upper right corner. Do not use a sharp knife or widdle back and forth as this may damage the surface where the seal is or make burrs. Once you have driven the knife straight in you can move around the back repeating this until the back is completely off.

Manual doesn't help. I changed the battery but the watch is still not powering up.

There is a tool that you need that adjusts to the three holes or openings in the back of your watch and it just screws off. If you don't have access to the tool, simply take two push pins and CAREFULLY insert them into the openings and unscrew the back cover. Remember that it unscrews counter-clockwise.This will give you access to the battery simply take it out and go to the store to buy a replacement repeat the process to install the cover back on.
