Now after reading many of the reviews of the watches from Polar they make you mail them back to Polar to have the battier changed when it dies. They don't give accurate readings and so on.
My question is what brand do you use and have you had any problems and so on.

I have the F7. I love love love love love it!
As for changing battery it last for a long time, then you send it to them and get it back a week later. No major hassle really. I have had mine a year and it is showing no signs of dying.
I have the F6 and never had any problems with it. I still use it when I go to the gym. My Garmin is for running.
I recently had to change the battery, it was empty but in Holland there are stores where they change the battery while you wait. So I went there and it was ready in half an hour. Perhaps they are there too. I think I have mine for about 5 years now and this was the first time I had to change the battery.
