I have a S610i and have just changed the battery - despite the new battery the screen is very faded. It is slightly stronger when I use the heart rate monitor and there is no problem or further fade when using the backlight. When setting the time it flashes from faded to normal strength. Can you help?

Hello,
It sounds like most of you have the heart rate set to display in % of max heart rate. Most Polar products have the option of heart rate in BPM(beats per minute) or percentage of max.
If you look at the display during the exercise, you will see a % icon. You can turn it off in by hitting the back button and go down to HR view settings.
Hope this helps.

This is really easy to do yourself. Get a CR1632 battery, unscrew the four screws on the back (dont tip the watch as there is a small spring in the watch), unclip the metal band holding in the old battery noting the way 'round the battery is in (minus side up), pop in new battery and push clip back down, when re-fitting the back make sure the spring mentioned earlier lines up with the white sticker with a hole in it on the inside of the watch back, screw down the back. After you have re done all your settings you may need to re-aquaint the watch with the strap, to do this put on the watch and strap, set the heart monitoring going, bring the watch up close to the 'Polar' logo on the chest strap until the time is displayed, should now be all set up.

Like most makers, they recommend that you have batteries changed at one of there service centers (to retain the waterproof seal.
Some people have problems when refitting the backs of watches and come onto this site to find out how they can get their watch going again. The cost saving does not seem worth the risk of damaging your watch. If your watch is still under warranty, then it will be invalidated by unauthorised repairs.
To find your near service center, go to Ploar.com and click on "support" and then "service" and "retail finder.
