Yes, but I expect that a watch battery would not have anything like
the lifetime of the type of lithium battery used in the IIgs. I don't
know what current rating is required.

You pay this once, and you get to keep the clip-on mechanism, so that
when you next need to replace the battery, you can just buy a normal
one (the type used in the ROM 3, which I think Nite Owl supplied for
more like US$10).
