Changing battery on the Polar HRM?

[jessnpaul]

Does anyone have a Polar HRM? I haven't used mine in 2 years so I need to change the battery in both the watch and the little black thing on the strap (I forget what it's called). I had no problems changing the watch but I cannot get the back off the black piece! I turn it to Open but it's sealed shut and there's no way to pop it open. DH, FIL, and myself all tried it with no luck. I'm assuming it's so sealed because it's waterproof but there's got to be a way to open it!

Any ideas? The closest service center is way too far for me to drive to.

You can take it to any watch battery/repair shop.  They can reseal it also to make sure it is water proof again.

This is what I did. Easy peasy
