I welded a crowbar to the back of my Rolex and it got the back off so easily. The only downside is the watch movement and dial and glass need replacing now and the case and the strap.

As long as it's a basic quartz watch with a back that is the same size as the watch face. If it's a "minimalist" style watch with the back being smaller than the face you have to use compressed air through the crown hole to pop the crystal out. Which sometimes can be done by using a piece of painters tape as a seal with a pin hole for air to get through and then holding a ball pump needle against it. But I wouldn't do that for an expensive watch. The jewelers knife is the tool you use to pry off the back. It looks like a knife but when you touch the blade you find it's not sharp, so you won't injure yourself or damage the watch with it. If you have never completely disassembled a watch before you should probably watch a video on quartz watch disassembly and assembly. You will need to identify the crown release on the movement for your specific watch. After you get the face out be careful not to damage the hands. Make sure they aren't bent to where they could hit each other when you reassemble.

Not all watches will have backplates that pop on so easily. A neat trick, to be sure, but as a guy who replaces watch batteries for a living, I have to say, if you're not the the type that is comfortable with learning new technical skills and getting some tools for said skills, definitely just take your watches to someone else who knows what the hell they're doing. I even have a watch I'm taking to a jeweler...
