Battery Replacement in the Polar Wrist Unit
The estimated average battery life of the Polar Wrist Receiver is 1-2 year(s), depending on model, in normal use (2h/day, 7 days a week). Note that an excessive use of the backlight and the beep signal will shorten the battery life.
Many new Polar products have user changeable batteries in both the watch and transmitter.
