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.
I knew a vacuum was use at some point. It's been a few years since my Movado worked. The first battery I let the pros replace. The second one I did myself.
