Does anyone know how I go about getting the batteries replaced in my Timex heart rate monitor? I seem to remember a factor in my decision to buy it was that you did not have to mail it to the manufacturer (like Polar) to get the batteries replaced, but I can't find anyone around here who'll do it.

I assume you are referring to the transmitter, not the watch(?).
It is intended to be do-it-yourself. The back of the chest strap (the side facing your skin) should have a cap that can be unscrewed with a coin.
My model uses the same battery for the watch as for the transmitter. They are commonly available at the corner drug store (CVS, Eckered, etc.).
I have also downloaded the PDF owner's manual from Timex before. That is easier for me to store or organize than the little paper manual that comes with the watch. The manual should go into more detail.
