Batteries are quick; a service is not. Battery and band changes are usually done while you wait. A mechanical or automatic watch that runs slow, stops or has water inside needs a movement service, which takes weeks and is often sent to the brand's service center — ask the shop whether it services your brand in-house.

Good to know

How often should a mechanical watch be serviced?

Watch brands commonly recommend a full service every five to ten years, depending on the movement and how the watch is worn. Service sooner if the watch gains or loses a lot of time, the power reserve drops, or moisture appears under the crystal.

Will replacing a watch battery affect water resistance?

It can. Opening the case back disturbs the gasket, so a watch rated for swimming or diving should get a new gasket and a pressure test after the battery change. Many watch repair shops offer the test on the spot.
