OK, so I swapped out the battery, however after hitting the “Reset” button I get a “Memory Failed” message and the watch does not function?
Any help would be appreciated.
So far, I’ve tried to remove and re-install the battery a few times, but get the same result…
I know this is not want you want to hear, but please send it to Polar. Do not jeopardize a $300+ unit. I would not get it wet. For those of you who visit Boston or NYC Marathons, you will the that glass bubble chamber that all watches go into to insure no possible leaks. I know it is 4 screws and an “O-Ring” but you are closer to destroying your watch than repairing it with a Radio Shack battery.
Is Polar coming out with a replacement for the S625X?
I just sent mine back to Polar this week for battery replacement. I took it to a BatteriesPlus store here and they said that it needed to go back. I couldn’t even tell how to get inside the thing!
I really miss it and my foot pod…
Closest would be the RS800 SD Don;t know if it has bike sensors.
I know the 8’s series does not have a function similiar to the S625X when it comes to biking. The S625X is truly a 1 piece tri watch.
You never know what’s in the Polar pipeline in Finland!! AS for the RS800, with GPS you could switch the RS800 from min/mile to mph and ride with it. Since it is a running unit and not a true tri unit, it will not switch from mph to min/mile without stopping it
