How to change the battery on my cheap watch?

I need to replace the battery on my petite Carriage watch by Timex. Sure I could buy a new one; this one was $20. But it's hard to find an inexpensive analog watch this small that fits my wrist. I bought the battery at Target, but they refuse to actually put the battery in for customers. They suggested using a nail file or eyeglass repair kit. Bottom line, I can't even seem to find any opening in the back of the watch where I CAN try to pry it open. I no longer have any info on the watch, if I ever did.
