A button cell used in watches functions as following
$$\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{Zn}(\mathrm{~s})+\mathrm{Ag}_2 \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{~s})+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{l}) \rightleftharpoons 2 \mathrm{Ag}(\mathrm{~s})+ \\
& \mathrm{Zn}^{2+}(\mathrm{aq})+2 \mathrm{OH}^{-}(\mathrm{aq})
\end{aligned}
$$
If half cell potentials are
$$\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{Zn}^{2+}(\mathrm{aq})+2 \mathrm{e}^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{Zn}(\mathrm{~s}) ; \mathrm{E}^{\circ}=-0.76 \mathrm{~V} \\
& \mathrm{Ag}_2 \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{~s})+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{l})+2 \mathrm{e}^{-} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{Ag}(\mathrm{~s})+2 \mathrm{OH}^{-}(\mathrm{aq}), \\
& \mathrm{E}^{\circ}=0.34 \mathrm{~V}
\end{aligned}
$$
The cell potential will be :
