As a confirmation, always look if one battery port bottoms out with a sharp corner compared to the other. Sharp cornered side is + down, side with a chamfer/curf/bevel in the corner is "-" down. Sometimes it's the only clue. And depending on the design of the contact, tht bevel in the bottom can stop a battery put positive side down from make fatal contact if put in the negative[wrong] port.
PRobably 90% of watches, when viewed frgom back with 12 oclcok up(away from you), will have positive down on the right, negative on the left. Contrary to the old plumbing saying of," hot on left, cold on right, stuff goes down the middle".
