I have this identical Citizen in pristine condition but the power cell is depleted. I called Citizen 9n California and they said this particular model had a lifetime warranty on the power cell. This there would be no charge to replace the cell. I have not sent it in yet, but wanted to share this info with owners of this watch that may need a cell replacement. Yes you would have to pay to ship and insure, but at least I can have if fixed and perhaps cleaned and the gasket replaced. If I am daring I could just try to order a cell replacement to change it, based on your video. Will see, it 9s a great watch. Thank you again for this great video.
For the capacitor debate - It is not a capacitor. From Panasonic:These manganese titanium rechargeable lithium (MT) coin batteries use a lithium manganese complex oxide for the positive pole and a special lithium-titanium complex oxide for the negative pole. They provide a capacity which is more than 10 times that of capacitors of the same size. Typical applications include the main power supply in watches and memory back-up for pagers, timers, etc.
It is a C 650 not an E. Just mentioning it because finding C650 JR3 model Skyhawk info is a pain to search for on the internet because you always end up with Skyhawk AT results.

It's a rechargeable lithium ion cell not a capacitor. Watch your video and see for yourself.
Where did you get the replacement crystal? I have look everywhere and no has low dome mineral crystal 28.9 mm x 2 mm.

Where did you find a domed crystal for the skyhawk? they are super hard to find, let alone find a part number.
Excellent information I learned how to replace my watch capacitator for just 27 dollars
Excellent, thanks for the video.
it is not capacitor. It's LiIon battery and it is written on it !!!
I love that you posted this. I always wondered how serviceable these are!
What is the difference between Skyhawk C650 and Skyhawk E650
Hey, thanks for sharing and you got a thumbs up from me. That said, we don’t need all the blah blah blah 😂
You sound very much like Bill Murrey.
Can I use the ban lets say with citizen promaster eco drive 200 curent edition? will it fit?

Any links to how I can find a replacement crown for this model?
I'm soon to replace a crystal on mine. In other models I have done, it was necessary to use an adhesive like B700. Is it not needed on this model?
you are wrong it is a li-ion battery not a capacitor
