Battery Replacement Gone Wrong!

As the watch ran until the -ve battery connection came away and you have now managed to remove the circuit, surely the easiest and cheapest option would have been to solder the old connector (or a fabricated replacement) back to the stud on the underside of the circuit board? Nothing to lose......... However as you have managed to obtain a replacement movement the easiest option is just to fit the circuit from that to the original movement or am I missing something here?

As before. I would do that and keep the rest of the new movement safe for later if required.

Agree with testing new movement first

Hi  If you are just going to swap the circuit block onto the old movement the out of case testing still applies. Nothing worse than getting it all back and finding its a non runner.
