Hmm, I didn’t have that problem. In fact, I didn’t have to remove anything except a little metal clip that I never got back in ;-)

Works without it, so I don’t care so much.

Sorry it didn’t go so well.

I went out to look for a battery but could not find a CR2023…took a chance and got a CR 2032 3V battery.
Took apart the watch when I got home and as luck would have it…it was the CR 2032 battery. I thought it was pretty challenging to change out the battery since you had to take out the whole assembly, then lift off the little metal
cage that holds the 3 sections together to be able to remove the battery. I must have done something to the little LCD part when I finally got the thing put back together since the screen is a little funky now with missing sections. If I were to do it again, I would send it out to have Polar change the battery. Just my 2 cents on the whole battery changing experience.

Heh. That was the least of my worries (screwdrivers are so useful). Getting it back it was beyond my grasp, but it seems to work without it.

Just screw the back cover back on (you have verified that it works with the new battery?) and go with it.

Do you still have the A5?
I took my battery out, but can’t figure out how the little metal tab goes OVER it.
Any way you could snap a quick pic of it and send to me?
The user manual is useless :(
