My problem is I have a number of different watches, some cheap, some not so cheap and I have no idea what battery Is needed in each case.
So, I guess it's a two step process. I will carry on, thanks again to all.

BTW, I do have the tools.
It turns out that most watches call for only 3-4 different sizes. Once you get stocked with those sizes, you will be fine.

As noted above, I get them off e-bay. It only takes a few days to get them.
