Edited: I have returned mine for this service in 2016 and 2018 and it was time again, but I wanted to ensure that they would replace the battery and sensor. I called, spoke with a sales agent and she advises that complete service is actually $69. The sensor has an expected life of 3 or 4 years, and the technicians will replace the battert on the $49 service anyway, but not the sensor.
Rather than mailing mine in and not having for a few weeks, I opted for the easier replacement with a new one at $96.75 as I got her to extend the holiday 25% discount for me. It'd be a little cheaper to mail mine in for the total $69 service, but my laziness has a price.
About Sensor Drift: She checked again with an engineer and they claim that their sensors have built-in software to adjust for that for two years. They recommend calibration every six months, but it sounds like it's just not needed. Maybe they suggest that more so for legal liability reasons.
