The spiny metal thing is a spring and theres no battery in a self wind watch.

A self wind watch of any make does not have a battery.

Since it is self winding, there is no battery. If it isn't working, you have to take it to a watch repair place or jewelers.

Most stores that sell batteries, have some one that can replace a battery for nothing. I have gone to Walgreen, Rite Aide, Wal Mart, K mart. Just check around and call and ask
Some times it is most helpful to have some one do it that knows how.
