Where do you take your waterproof watches to have the battery changed? The last time I had it changed, they also replaced the gaskets, and performed a leak test but it was pricey
You don't need to go to a special place to have the gasket replaced or leak tested. You can do it yourself quite easily but you might want an experienced watch guy with the right tools if you need to pry off the back.

You can buy your own gaskets and add a little silicone grease to them and most of the time they will be fine.

That said, if you are paying hundreds to thousands for a watch, perhaps it is better to let a professional do it. Don't goto a guy in a mall :P
