There is a funny video of an astronaut repairing an Omega in space-the battery floats up when he pops it out of the movement.

But watch batteries don't get replaced in a vacuum. A good facility will check for water resistance after changing the battery, and properly done that will include a test using both vacuum and pressure. I've never seen a mall kiosk set up so.
