Unfortunately, the battery is sealed in the chest, and there's no way to change this. The battery will last according to the instructions 2500H, corresponding to approximately 105 days. According to experience what I have read on the Internet, does the battery, depending on use, one-half to two years. After a service is due, which is almost as expensive as a new clock! D
In addition, the chest looked as if he would have ever used! I do not know if that is related to the recycling of the emptied chest belts to instructions.
I will not decide for a product of Polar!
