If there is little helium entering the watch, then the pressure within the watch would remain closer to atmospheric. In the high pressure decompression chamber, the pressure would tend to push the crown in.

The HEV is a one way valve. It wouldnt work so well if it let air/H2O in!
Whats the pressure in the chamber now? And why are you in it if not decompressing?
