Replacing Apple Watch Battery SE (2nd Generation)

If I get my watch serviced for a battery replacement, do they give me a refurbished watch or just replace the battery? I'm in Sydney btw.

Apple Watch SE, watchOS 11

By paying the service fee for the battery replacement, Apple will replace the whole watch, not just the battery.

Your watch will also have a new serial number and IMEI.

My old Series 5 looked and felt brand new when I had to get the battery replaced a couple of years ago.
