With some swatch watches it is impossible to change the battery. Post a pic for a better analysis

I'm not aware of any. Can you post a reference or picture?

OP: Swatch had a free battery change offer recently. Could you check with an agent if it's still active. Otherwise you need to post clear, detailed pictures of the watch.

Yes that's the battery port. If it's extremely tight you need a tool to hold the watch steady in a vice, of which there is a variety. Then turn a coin of the exact size with pliers.

Be aware that after many years the battery may have leaked, and the watch won't run. These watches are not repairable.
