CR2016 batteries

I want to buy some CR2016 batteries (at least 5) for several watches that have been dead for years, in shops they are £10 each!! but if I go on Amazon some marketplace sellers are selling 12 for £2.50 (Panasonic ones to boot) are these legitimate batteries? I only would want branded non fake ones.
It seems absurd that the 5 batteries in the shop would be £50 but I can get 12 for £2.50 on Amazon, is it a case of too good to be true?

I think I'll go for them then, the reason I wanted legitimate ones was to minimize the risk of any leaking or corrosion since they are going in watches, but it looks like that the cheap ones are legitimate and it's a case of just large mark-ups in the shops, it's not like they are batteries that people buy frequently like AA.0
