Interestingly, I was going to type that as well but I know Colin and he told me it hasn't been called that for nearly 20 years!

you can buy a set of watch and other batteries from the squid shop and change it your self.

Learn something new all the time. Never knew that.

I bought some from the pound shop to do my watch, only to find it needed a special tool to get into my watch, had to take it to the shop in the end.
if your planning to replace your own battery in your watch, make sure you can take the back off yourself

Also find out what battery it takes, (I used to work for the infamous G Ratner) there are a lot of different types. Boots used to be a good bet, the micro batteries they sell for hearing aids are decent quality but used to be cheaper as they didn't qualify for VAT (I think)

im not going to do it myself, did that trick last year and ruined my watch, cost me £50 that watch, when i took the back off something broke off while i was trying to get the battery out, so i never touch em now...i leave that to the experts

If you're worried about ruining your expensive watch then you might as well just take it to anywhere. That one in blackburn is probably good, the one that used to be at the top of the escalators thats now next to argos and stuff. Thats the only proper watch specialist place I can think of and its been around as long as I can remember. Wouldn't have lasted so long if it was a crap place.
