Introduction

If the heart rate monitor on the watch no longer detects your heart rate, then replacing the back may fix it.

What you need

1. Step 1 Watch Strap
  Flip the watch over so that the face is down.
  
  Using a Y#0 screwdriver, unscrew the four 3.5 millimeter tri-head screws.
  
  Remember to turn off the watch to avoid being shocked.

2. Step 2
  Using your finger, push forward on the release while pulling up on the strap.
  
  You may find it helpful to use the flat end of a spudger to push on the release instead of your finger.

1. Step 4 Back
  Insert a plastic opening tool between the top and bottom portions of the case, and gently pry off the back.
  
  Do not insert the tool more than 3 millimeters into the case. Inserting more than 3 mm may damage the seal and electric components.

And where do you get the new replacement back? And does it just snap back on?
