I bought a watch which died on me three times in the 10 months that I had it. Annoying. The issue? Poor batteries provided to me by the retailer who kept replacing the battery for me (never going there again!).
I finally got fed up and figured out how to open the darn thing myself (from the Almighty Master Internet, of course).
Now this will only really apply if you have a screw-on watch back like mine (see below). The others I believe need to be popped open, which can also likely easily be done with a slim screwdriver -- like one for a pair of glasses.
The battery itself costs about $3 and the other materials you likely have at home. Compare this to spending $10-$20 on a battery replacement service. Feel tempted, yet?
