I just want to know what to expect. How much should it cost me to change the battery to an expensive watch?

I had a battery changed for $15 but maybe super expensive watches have a different battery or more parts to consider?

My watch was $400 for reference.

I have my Concord watch battery changed every 2-3 years at Simpsons. It costs about $35.

It's been 20 years and now I needed to change the movement. $200

Less than $50 for my cartier. My husband took it in and doesn’t remember how much. I have to change it so infrequently

A more expensive watch shouldn’t cost more. My local nonJewish place charges $10 for any battery fix.

What about if it’s an automatic watch (no battery) that stopped working? How much does that cost?

An automatic watch needs to be wound. You have to either wind it manually or set it on a winder. If it still doesn't work then it needs repairs and that can cost you.
