The battery in my polar s725, after 4 years of sturdy service decided to expire, 4 days before our trip into the Alps. I posted it off to the service centre, with a note pleading for speedy service but thinking there would be no chance it would be back in time for the tour.
It came back today, fully serviced with a new type of heart rate belt.
Thanks Polar.

I had a similar experience last year.
After having used my RS800sd for a year, the spring on the red/lap button was “slow”, making it difficult for me to take accurate lap times.
So I sent the watch in, thinking I would get it back from repair weeks later with a hefty bill, as the guarantee had just run out. And because I cannot live without this watch, I would have paid for it without blinking too.
But instead, less than a week later, I received a brand new watch, no questions asked!
