can you replace the battery yourself, or do you have to take it to a jewler?

Yes; use a "small" phillips screw driver -- do it on a flat light colored table so you don't loose the screws. Look at the clip [that holds the battery in place] carefully first: so that you will remember how it fits when you fit the new battery. The 'O' ring that seals the cover should stay in place. If not, rub a small amount of vaseline on a finger to transfer to the 'O' ring seal so that it sticks in place. Nice watch :^)

I replaced mine myself but after doing it the compass never worked right again

Sorry... Didn't get as far as looking into battery replacement and the recipient of the watch is New Zealand now!

It can vary. You might find it helpful to pin down the watch and use a wrench on the coin to get the back off. Usually sticking the wide end of a toothpick in and twisting does the trick on the battery. Batteries vary slightly in fit. Now some batteries have a sticker on the back which needs to be removed. The manual recommends professional service or at least a replacement seal if monitor is going to be used underwater.

yes, you can replace the battery. taking the back off of the pedometer is tricky, i actually stripped the screw with my first one, so i just kept the back on with a piece of tape, and that worked well. the battery is essentially a watch batt, so just take the old one that you have removed from the pedometer and you can match it at the battery display. i kept my first omron for years until i lost it. i replaced it with another omron, same model as the first one. and i was able to replace the old battery as needed

No you can not replace the battery it is internal. It does have the option to connect an audio cord to it so that when the batter no longer works it is still functional.

Very easy...turn the device over..there is a round cap with a slot in it..place a coin in the slot..turn it counterclockwise..the cap will pop off.. pry the battery out taking notice which side of the battery is facing up..replace the new battery the same way.. replace the cap. It is a good idea to check the battery in both the sending and receiving units..I own 3 of these.. and 2 of them had weak old batteries rite out of the box.. I really like them.

Very Doubtful, I would visit a watch or jewelry store for the correct battery and tools..

Yes. There is a small battery door on the bottom part of the back. with a little screw you need to unscrew to access the battery. According to the info on the battery door,it takes a AG13/LR44 button battery. Looks like you would need a very small Phillips screwdriver to open it. Never had to replace any of them yet. (I have 2). Since there are 3 additional screws on the back of the stopwatch to hold it together,I doubt if a small child would even know there is a battery in there or how to get it out.

Even though the battery is rechargeable we all know they all degrade and lose the ability to recharge. It does not appear they made this watch to be able to change the battery is the back plate is screwed together with some pretty tiny screws. I'm sure there's a You Tube video out there that shows how to take the thing apart and disconnect wires and stuff to get to it but I'm sure that would void the warranty. It's good for two years though. Better than most. That's the way companies do it anymore. They want you to have to buy a new item when the battery loses the ability to recharge.

Screwed in plate on the bottom indicates that it takes AAA batteries. So I assume they can be replaced.

If you want to get into taking the unit apart (disassemble it), then yes you can replace.. there is no 'open door' to change the batteries.. you need to solder-desolder the old (and new)-replace-- reassemble.. otherwise you can't..

I very carefully used a small screwdriver to separate the front from the back and I believe there was a small wheel or screw adjustment. If I need to change the battery, though, I'll take it to the watch/jeweler at my local mall.

If you install it with the included bracket, then you can take the light off the bracket and easily change the battery. If you install the light directly without the bracket, then you would have to unscrew/unglue the light to change the battery.

go to a jewelry store that replaces batteries for watches. they will have your battery!!!!!!-----or go to radio shack for all kinds of batteies!!!

I can't say for sure. There are four small screws on the back. It's possible that you can get at the battery by removing them, but the instructions don't say anything about replacing the battery, so you would be on your own. Since the warranty is only 90 days, if the battery dies beyond that time, you have nothing to lose by trying.

There's not a way to replace the battery. The light source is one piece. I've used this a number of times and it's still as bright as the first time I used it. I would imagine when all the ear curettes are gone, the battery would go shortly there after. Hope this helps.

I don't know what sort of battery it takes, but my battery had a very short life. I misplaced the watch before I could take it to the jeweler.
