Polar Watch & Transmitter Battery Questions

My Polar F6 heart monitor watch is out of juice. I see 4 small screws on the back of it and I do own a small watch repair kit. I also have a T-31 Coded Transmitter (chest strap) that I'm not sure if the battery is working on it.

Does anyone know how much it cost to send in the watch and transmitter to have the battery replaced on both? Has anyone sent their Polar watch and transmitter in before?

Does anyone know if the battery replacement process on the F6 is a simple procedure just like any other quartz watch? I think the battery is a standard type.

Should I ditch the T-31 and get a new version with the user replaceable battery?

Thx

    I would guess that the watch is a standard battery. Not sure about the chest strap. Again, this is an ASSupmtion
    Ludicrous gibs!
