Is the battery of both the watch and the chest strap replaceable by user?

Yes, you can replace it and I've read you can send the watch to Polar and they can switch them out but at a cost (not sure how much). On there website there is a tutorial on how to change them out based on which product you bought.

I don't remember what I paid for mine but this one did come with the monitor strap. Word to the wise- don't change the battery yourself. I did and then went on a beach vacation where I promptly realized that saltwater is not a good thing for the guts of a watch. I guess I didn't get the little gasket in exactly the right place when I put the watch back together? It's trash now.

It seems to me that the battery can be replaced. I wouldn't do it myself, though. At any rate, the instructions do not mention replacing the battery. About cadence, there is no cadence sensor. This is a very spartan, but functional, gps watch. If you want the frills, buy a Garmin. But if you are content with tracking yourself (mileage + pace), this is a great little tool for you. A Garmin costs $300, this is approx. $70.

The watch did not include a replacement battery. I happen to have the manual sitting on my desk and it reads:"Battery replacement will be required from time to time, and should occur whe:-The display fades in part or completely- The Heart Rate function will not activateThe battery life will vary depending on usage of the light and hear rate features(which have high power consumption.We recommend the battery replacement be done by a watch repair service to ensure the water seals are not compromised during the process.The watch uses one(1) standard lithium replacement battery: CR2032."

Yes!! They are individually programmed and will not interfere with the others, like wise you can not change the chest strap to use it with a different watch. Although two pieces they will only work with original set. Hope this has helped.

The battery is not easily removed, but with some jewelers screwdrivers you can dismantle the battery compartment and insert a new battery. One tip, please take photographs of every step so you can refer to the photos when re-assembling. It is tricky otherwise. The other issue of course is getting the O ring back in it's slot so the watch has some degree of being waterproof. That will be an important issue. I believe it is very difficult to pressure test a plastic watch. Probably not worth the exercise.

No it's not replaceable but the battery won't stop holding a charge for many many years. By that time you will have moved on. Also It has an internal overload shut off so you won't fry the battery.

Both are replacable although the wrist watch battery should be replaced by a dealer.

Yes it is. There is a little battery compartment on the back that can be opened to replace the batteries. I have not had to replace them yet so do not know what kind of batteries it takes. Looks like the little watch type batteries.

I've used it for practice and testing and never had to replace the battery. It's the same as any other watch...I'm guessing probably once a year for changing batteries and then just take it to a jewelry repair kiosk in the mall and have to them change the battery for $10 just like any other watch.

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

This watch is only rechargeable with a special USB cable that should have been included. The battery is built in and not replaceable.

Yes; the chest strap is the only way this watch can monitor your heart rate and calories. Without it, it's just a watch with functions you can't use

There does not seem to be an easy way to change the battery. I expect the battery to last similar to the old LCD watches but use of the alarm function will shorten the life of the battery.

The battery is easily replaceable. It is worth noting that the watch opens to a 90 degree angle, not 180, so that the time is inconveniently seen when the watch is placed on a surface. It is, of course, easily seen when held.

Im out of town at the moment but seems like it had a standard watch battery in the back you could easily remove.

There doesn't seem to be any way that an owner/user was intended to easily replace the battery. Having said that, I hadn't had to replace the battery so far. Its been my experience that most any battery can be replaced regardless of whether or not the manufacturer planned for that contingency. In this case, the base appears to be removable which "I assume" will give you access to the battery. Once you have the battery in hand, it becomes an Internet search to find and purchase a suitable replacement.
