This is where the entire affair can go sideways if you're not careful about how to pry the metal latch off. The metal latch needs to be CAREFULLY lifted back (away from the battery) and NOT up. A study needle or pin, is a better tool than the mini screwdriver. Bigger pictures would certainly help here as well. The instructions for Step 3 come up pretty wanting.

Little nervous about applying too much pressure to release the clip, but it came up nicely and snapped right back into place after inserting the battery. Thanks alot! Great directions.

You just allowed me to replace my battery with a small eye glass screw driver we already had, and a replacement battery we also had on hand. Cost = $0 compared to the $40 I calculated just to send and replace to a polar service shop. That $40 is assuming they didn't "find" any other problems and charge me the full $75 they require as a pre-approval on your credit card. WOW it's crazy how people will just take your money...... so thank you, thank you!! I can not thank you enough for this post.

This worked for the "polar fit" style as well. You saved me from wrecking my watch, as well as repair bill. It was good to have a 5/64" flat head to get under the latch as well to flip it up. Watch out that the waterproof seal dorse not get caught in the process of reassembling. Thank you again. Thank you so much for such brilliant notes and photos.

Also no custom rollups, no measure expressions, and while we have a ridiculous MDX script - this behavior is constant with the entire script commented out. Actual measure is real and bound to the DSV which is bound directly to a table (not a calculated column or a named query).

I've seen bugs similar to this before, but always related to MDX calculations; have you got any custom rollups or unary operators here? Chris I’d say this was a bug – have you reported it to MS?
