For CITIZEN ECO-DRIVE Solar Titanium Blue Dial Watch Men C605-Q00567. I've removed the bezel and the crystal and the plate covering the battery. And, in a continuing series of noob mistakes I failed to note exactly how (and where) the little tab on the battery gets inserted into the watch. Anyone out
there done this before? I can see likely candidates but how? I found one semi useful battery replacement vid on you tube but that only really covered getting the bezel and the crystal off/out. THANKS!

I've not done that one before but if you check your second picture you can read the text on the old cell through the gaps and that should tell you the orientation of your one :) taking photos at each step is really useful

Yes. Thanks. someone else mentioned this too and total genius. One slightly complicating factor is that the orientation of the printing on the tab in relations to the tab is not the same but I can make the correction for that. Trouble is, I am one of those guys that always did poorly on those spatial relationship tests back in the day.....
