Today we review a watch you guys have been asking me about ever since it came out, the Bluetooth Mudmaster - GGB100
As the latest addition to the Mudmaster line this watch is placed between the "entry" level models GG-1000 and GWG-100, and the top of the line GWG-1000.
With it's advanced functions and combination of the full ABC sensor package, this model seems like it is better equipped than even the top of the line model, but the lack of self charging technology makes use of those functions somewhat a guilty pleasure, as you know each press of a button shortens the battery life!
This model is also the first Mudmaster to utilize the Carbon Core Guard confirming Casio's slow switch to this material instead of the regular plastic.
With bluetooth connectivity and a whole range of functions, this is my favorite member of the Mudmaster line.
Wnjoy the review and as usual, a detailed tutorial is coming soon...

I always have batteries for all my watches and tools. Even hikes I go prepared to take care of my watch. Just makes life easier if I prepare a a plan when going anywhere. My wife thinks it foolish until she needs something she forgot. She hated how I hate defeat and will never give up until I complete my goal. When I got cancer she was happy I prepared for everything and fought like hell even when I come close to dying I knew I was good and not going anywhere. Being prepared for anything is extremely important.
Nice story there brother! :) I hope you're doing well there, attending your follow-up check-ups and finally cancer free. Cheers to those people right now in the world fighting cancer. Lost my Dad from cancer on my birthday. I hope other people won't go through the same thing.
Great job overcoming cancer, man. Fortune favours preparation.
You're an inspiration man! Keep up the good fight!!
Victory loves preparation.. Your spirit and attitude for sure will inspire others.. salute..
You sound like my dad.
I have this watch, the G-Squad GBD-H1000, and the Mudmaster GWG-1000 and I have to say that I really like the GG-B100. Yes, solar power is a bonus however I don't miss it on the GG-B100. The price for the GG-B100 is fairly "low" compared to the solar/atomic watches however you still get a big ass watch with quad sensor AND most important of all you get the quality of Casio. Don't pay attention to the solar/atomic babies, this watch is amazing!
hi, is the watch still working properly? I heard somebody having some problems with the hands
I know it’s been a few years but would love to hear your thoughts on the watch over the past 3 years. How has the battery held up? What kind of usage? Was waterproofing a problem when replacing the battery. Anything you didn’t like or loved? Thanks for any feedback.
I have this very model, it's an outstanding timepiece by any standards. The fact that it doesn't have solar charging makes no difference to me how it's used. Marvellous, amazing watch.
Where do you go to change the battery 🔋 or is it simple enough to do it your self
@@rogerportillo8904 I have this ggb100 watch. To change the battery you just have to take one band side off and unscrew the back and change battery no problem at all. I have the Jay's and Kay's band adapter and a Barton watch band so I don't have to remove the bands to get to the back plate, takes maybe 5 min to replace the battery
@Rich T thanks for that info, i finally got mine, its a awsome watch
@@rogerportillo8904 awesome Enjoy! I liked the 1a3 so much I bought the ggb100btn Burton watch 🤣
The solar charger doesnt work well under a cloth or during dark month anyway. Cheers.
Thanks for reviewing this model
Thanks for the overview. Regarding the lack of solar power, I see your point, but you talk like the watch is a toy with gimmicky functions meant for playing around at the coffee shop when you're bored, and not an actual tool. I'd assume buyers of this model either almost never use the functions (because they buy the watch for the looks) or they actually do use the functions but only when they need to - and these are functions nobody "needs" to use constantly, even if you're a hiker, fireman, soldier, etc. Besides, the battery replacement is not difficult on this model and the battery type is pretty common. A solar-powered watch will also die after some +/- 10 years and will require a more expensive/complex battery replacement. In fact, most people probably ditch solar-powered watches when the battery dies and just get a new one.
Finally someone who makes actual sense....
I've been using this beast now for a week and use all functions twice a day maybe three times depending. I work in the forestry cutting trees down, so using the barometer to keep an eye on the weather, compass for mapping an area and the location indicator helps me find my lunch and fuel for refilling my chainsaw. And I also brought a spare battery to replace if need be later on. So overall I love this watch, and recommend it to anyone who's work is a more tougher lifestyle and don't mind the watch taking a beating.
Would you suggest a 9400 rangeman, gwg100, or ggb100. I like the look of all, but don't need the functions. Also I looked at the ga700 as a cheaper alternative
I have been using the same Pro Trek PRG-50 for 18 years, since I was 12-13. I had to change the batteries once and it cost me something like 40 euros. Not changing a watch like that for just the batteries.
@@Kenar.E I'm pretty sure many people will, and do. Probably most people. 40 € are a nice help paying for a new Pro Trek or G-Shock that will last you another 18 years. I'm not trying to diss solar (I love my solar watches, actually), I just don't think it's that perfect, nor do I think regular batteries are that terrible.
... great review!.. great quality images!.. great watch!
At first glance, I fell in absolute love with this watch. It's great for unpredictable Texas weather and camping. I don't give a shit about solar charging on this model, I got a MTG- M900DA for solar charging and atomic time keeping.
great review as always!! ordered one!!!
You won't regret it!
My wife gave me the G-Shock Master of G GWG-1000-1A3ER as a gift and I had already ordered the Mudmaster GG-B100-1AER black myself. Nice, Thursday I expect 2 Mudmasters. Play time for me, I guess. Thanks for the review, it made me decide to go for the GG-B100 as an affordable Mudmaster.
I have worn this watch everyday for the past 2 years and it has never failed me. Its the best watch Ive ever owned which was gifted to me by my mom. I guess moms know best because she definitely smashed it with this gift! Quite literary actually since this watch has protected my wrist from impact in the past!
Any feedback you could provide regarding battery life? Replacement? Waterproofing after change? Anything you didn’t like? Maybe ergonomics or comfort? Thanks for the help. John
@@John_Hoover
Battery lasted around 2.5 years but I have the auto-light feature turned off all the time so that might help. I have owned 4 G-shock watches and this is the first one that none of the lettering have worn off in the 2.5 years of wear. Also the watch doesnt have any scratches despite heavy use. I take my watch to a watch specialist to change the batteries (there is 2 batteries in this watch), and since I spend a little extra for the replacement, the specialist guarantees the waterproofing. Havent had any issues since the battery replacement. This watch is a great watch so its hard to say anything bad about it despite the expensive battery changes and frequency of battery charging (2 years doesn't feel like a long enough time) but my other G-Shocks are tough solar or have a 10 year battery life so that might make my answer a little biased. I guess the only thing I would change about the watch would be that I'd add the tough solar features so users aren't dependent on the battery as much. Its a big watch with a lot of features, so its understandable that battery life is only 2 years.
@@John_Hoover Awesome watch, highly recommend. Goes well with everything as well.
Great video and model. I do think that the Bluetooth is a great addition which helps make it a modern day timepiece. Battery use not a problem personally for me, watch told me when it was getting low, but everything was still working fine a few week later. It took less than 5 mins to change, and batteries are inexpensive (4 for £5). Remember that all tough solar models still use a battery, it's just rechargeable via the solar panel. This will ultimately degrade over the life of the watch, just like a phone battery does, so it will still need to be ultimately replaced if that model of watch allows it?? - probably a Casio job. Great addition to the team 👍
awesome as always.
I love the videos. I just purchased this on Amazon. I have no problem replacing battery, and worry about solar batteries. I've got watches 49 plus years old and battery replacement easy . I do have a bunch of mechanical watches, but like the sturdy G Shocks
No we need yr videos yr review and toturials are pretty good and the way u speak clears everything.☺️
I just bought one today! From Dillard. I like and thanks, for your video and I subscribed
nice review dude and seems many peeps here are complaining about your points on the solar power, I totally agree with you; my frogman is solar and I haven't had to open for nearly 10 years and it works perfectly!!
I have/had 10 G-Shocks (digital and anadigi’s)… but I keep coming back to this exact Mudmaster. An analog watch with bright white ticks and hands is just so easy to glance at.
The GWG-1000 is nice as well, but is just too busy for me. I even swapped the green band on my GG-B100 with a black one and swapped the bezel with writing for the dark bezel without the writing, to make it even more minimalistic.
Mate you are not alone there! I own 3 shocks but I have always wanted a negative display gshock and the GD350 has been on my list for many years and the only reason I have not pulled the trigger on it is cause of it not having solar charging while my other 3 shocks are solar charging
Nice looking Mudmaster watch. Deal breaker with just a battery and no Sapphire .Thanks for the review.
Your reviews and tutorials are GREAT! Will you be doing one on the Frogman a1000?
Probably
@@WatchGeek I’m getting mine delivered next week and would love to know how to use it hahaha
One advantage of the mineral crystal display is its ability to mitigate damage to the watch due to impact. The more expensive models featuring the sapphire crystal is more scratch resistant but loses its impact protection.
Sapphire watch glass works fine on impact resistant watches. Seiko's engineers explain it in detail.
Best watch ever ❤
It looks even better in person
Thanks for the informative video. At a glance I really loved this one, its unique pattern as a result of carbon material that they used really looks tough. But then I looked back and decided to purchased the GWG-1000 simply 'coz of its tough solar , vibe resist and sapphire crystal...
excellent review!
Too bad about the lack of solar charging. Otherwise, it is a beautiful and useful watch.
Yup, a beast
The lack of tough solar is an automatic no from me, I understand sooner rather than later they'll probably bring out a new GWG-1000 replacement with a new Bluetooth module, but in this day and age when I can buy a GW-M5610 for buttons with tough solar and multiband 6, no tough solar is unforgivable.
You guys are forgetting the watch is sub-$500, has 4 sensors, and bluetooth Low-Energy(BLE). BLE syncs are minute in the amount of power they need, and unless you're constantly hitting the Connect button, the syncs don't occur. My steps are *only* transmitted, or updated when the Connect button is used or the app is opened. Baro/Alti/Thermo/Compass data is not synced.
The white LEDs use less energy to iluminate the face in comparison to my GA-1000-1A's UV led, and I was getting about 2 years for that watch with two sensors.
I changed the batteries the day I got it (November 2nd) in under 5 minutes and with the low-battery warning functionality there really isn't a reason to worry. If you can afford the watch, you can afford installing new batteries the day you get it and keep the original ones as a spare.
GPS, multiband both use WAY more energy than BLE, so in a matter of point of view the solar functionality is an example that some g-shocks are overburdened by features and therefore can't rely on lithium batteries. Solar is their workaround.
@@hopper131 how much are the batteries anyway
@@cream8701 2 years
Just bought this watch and loving it
hotmandead1 what made you pull the trigger on this one compared to the gwg-1000? The price point is a huge factor for me and changing the battery isn’t the biggest deal. Thanks in advance for your response.
@@kevinhayden9030 The price really didn't need solar
I want to make a little argument against solar: it adds another failure point, from a longevity standpoint. Yes, rechargeable batteries usually last >10 years on basic models, but so sometimes do standard batteries. I still have a g8000 from 2007 on its original battery. The problem with rechargeable batteries is finding a compatible spare, when it inevitably loses its ability to hold a charge. 2025 coin batteries are common as bread, the exotic lithium rechargeable ones used in solar watches are not.
just got mine now !!! fricking banging watch sorry a brick !!!! absolutely smashing design and great functions !!!
Hi! Great video! Can you change the battery by yourself?
The #1 channel for Gshock info!
Thanks
I can totally relate to the feeling related to not having solar.
I haven't changed the battery on my GD-400MB since I bought it in 2018, but I still prefer the solar ones I have..
Love mine! Great video, too!
Nice review, could u tell me tje circumference of your wrist? I likes the watch but i have quite thin wrists
Nice solid watch. I LOVE G-Shock watches.
Thanks for sharing this one.
Hello! How can I activate "Phone Finder" to find my smartphone with this GG-B100? Thanks!!
IronKlei hold down the connect button until the display says “find” and the second hand makes 3 rotations
Have had mine 3 years and love it. Don't know what to do with all the functions, but it looks badass. Changed the battery twice, once by a "professional" who put in a generic CR2025. That lasted a year. This time I changed it myself to a Maxell. It's incredibly easy. However I still wished it had Tough Solar, my GST-W110D is still trucking along on the same battery since 2015.
I ordered it as a possible replacement for the GW-9300 (Japan version with radio). After a week I am back to the GW-9300. The GG-B100 is a beautiful watch but readability and operation there is nothing about my digital Mudmaster also wearing comfort at least, in the Japan version is better. And that I must think at some point to battery change and that not all watchmakers perform, because relatively complicated with the GG-B100. And since I'm also not a big Bluetooth fan. I sold them on cheap.
Great review as always. I bough this ggb100-1A over the gwg because of the price and the bluetooth conn. Yes, for most people solar is a must but for me it's not a deal breaker. Some tips for battery, i don't connect my ggb100 everyday using bluetooth. Just when i need too for auto time adjustment and etc. Just my humble opinion.
Indeed. The watch has the ability to disable the auto connectivity. You can connect the watch to your phone when you need it.
You have two years to get ready! If ppl can't get their shit together and prepare before hand they don't deserve it anyway...
@@NathanChisholm041 maybe make some sense?
@@traviswalker8933 OK then ppl that run out off batteries are fucking morons! Clear enough?
@@NathanChisholm041 🤣😂👍
Guys its just one day you have to change the battery. For two years less or more you will go hundreds of adventures if you buy the watch for a porpuse and take all the advantages of the functions. enjoy the watch play with functions press the light for no reason. Not a big problem at all. There are so many more important worries on nature you have to focus 😉 don't get paranoia. Great review 👍
Very good comment.
Excellent presentation. I have the exact anxiety that you described regarding battery usage. I bought my GWG 1000 after seeing your review, and haven't looked back. I love that thing. Great review here. Thanks.
Sir rowdyron what can you say about gwg 1000 now after few months you use it? Thanks... plan to biy gwg 1000
@@dingandico4589 Still love the watch. It's my daily wear, and I have several to choose from. It is large, however if you're good with that I think you'll like it. Pricey, but a year down the road you won't even notice. Good luck!
Great review. Buying today from G Shock USA. Reason for buying by brand-name. G Shock my history: I windsurfed from Spain to Morocco wearing one in July 1981, and I wore one cave diving in the Great Barrier Reef in 1986, and rode a loggerhead turtle out of the cave wearing, and I was chased by Bengal Tigers in India, wearing one, and I wore one in the Army in 1988.
Lost mine since then, and EMT school requires a "Good Watch."
Lol. 😄😁😄🤣
hmm, this got me thinking. I was looking to buy a GWG 1000, but after seeing this, the $280 indicates that a new king will show up soon, and is not just a sale. Also the Rangeman It is not on sale so again an pointer that they need to move the remaining GWG 1000 sooner rather then later.
my anxiety triggers only on solar watches when it hits medium, more so when on low. My rangeman is still on medium despite a whole day soaking in the sun next to my window. With this, I can always pop in a fresh battery after 1 to two years which is no big deal.
Has your ggb100 battery ever died? I am starting to question the true longevity of this watch and its battery. I haven’t been able to kill mine, and I have been trying to get it to die. 😄It truly is a beast.
Today my GG-B100 depleted its second battery since the end of december 2019.
It was the 1st of May, when it started acting strangely. I replaced the battery around the middle of May.
Now today, I first got a recovery warning for about two hours and then comes the battery warning...
5 months + 4 months, 2 batteries. Congratulations and thank you CASIO...
One most reasonable watch with such a shortcoming...
And I must add, I had used it frequently before May. I used timers several times a day.
But I haven't even touched it that much since May. And the battery I used was of 2019 production and it was a Panasonic.
Your replacement battery may have been bad. I got burned on some fake batteries on eBay. Branded like legit batteries but knockoffs.
@@wonderbreadmodelsandhistor1566 You might be right. No way to know for sure. Might not even know if we are able to get our hands on legitimate ones anyway. In the (g)olden times, brands used to take action against counterfeit. Not anymore I guess. By the way, another battery replacement is due on my never-used-anymore GG-B100 nowadays. The moment I press the light button it goes into recovery then blank...
Still I'm sad every time I look at it cause it's preciously handsome yet I cannot utilize it...
Have a black version of this watch, absolutely love it.
freakincrazy6932 Some people seem torn on the battery vs solar function. What are your thoughts?
@@kevinhayden9030 I am fine with just battery power, changing battery once every 2 years is not a big deal. The look of new carbon version and functions seem worth the compromise.
Just bought this exact watch, not worried. About Solar as I also bought a GW9400 Rangeman, and have a G2130 tough solar atomic watch. I like the Bluetooth connectivity, and the Step counter as there are times I don't have my phone on me. Watch is beautiful, easy to read and use. If I go on a long Trek I'll wear the Rangeman, if I'm out on the town I'll wear this piece. Or just wear another while Battery gets replaced. Very comfortable and light, damn near perfect watch. I'll agree adding solar and sapphire would make it so, but that also adds to the price. I got mine for under $300.
David Beck Appreciate the honest review. I think I will get this watch based off your comment and the research.
@@kevinhayden9030 I'm glad it helped. The more I wear it the more I like it. It's becoming my favorite Gshock out of the 4 I now own.
Exactly. people forget about price hike when they mentioned about tough solar and sapphire crystal features..
Just ordered one and don't mind the no solar battery change is easy and takes less than 10 min. I will be using all the functions as if it were solar. It's a non-issue not only that I kinda like that it's not solar being how bright the night light is, but I do understand how some would not think like me.
So you'll buy a $400 watch, but you're concerned about a $5 battery.
It’s the hassle of changing- not the cost
Hi, I have a question. For the clock to notify me of a change in pressure, should I put it on info off?
Got this watch for the three years ,still running on original battery !
Great presentation, thank you. The solar charger doesnt work if the watch is under a cloth or if there is no sun. Its not for me. Cheers.
I own 18 G Shocks, including the GWG1000. You have convinced me to order this one as well. You're bankrupting me:-) But I gotta have this one.

The first step to getting help is admitting you have a problem. 🤣 But seriously, where do you keep them?

Favorite watch in my collection. I own 14 g shocks including the solar mudmaster gwg. Non solar does not bother me. I actually enjoy doing the battery replacement myself 😉
Is it hard to change the battery?I haven't had a wristwatch in over 20 years.
@@pinkyellowblue007 No sir, quite simple. I can change battery and relube gasket in about fifteen minutes 😃
@@tennbones i have question. what about waterproofing after self replacement? 50m no problem?
@@tennbones Please post a video of battery replacement if you can, thank you very much
My gravity master lasted about two years. I replaced the battery myself, took 6mins, whats the big deal with replacing a battery in a shock? It's not a big deal in any way. 2 yrs is along time, compass I used a handfull of times hunting heading back to camp in low light, and the light a billion times. Just use the tools they give you if you need and Dont listen to the "fashion squad. Most guys buying gshocks are military, ex military, and anyone who is an outdoorsman of any type. And then the fancy poser boys. So it's a wide swath of people who use shocks. Remember that while making a video.
👍
Yup the majority of people buying this watch are people that know how to use a screwdriver or know how to change a tire ect , I time myself I lt took me 4mins to change the battery on this watch.
Remember though you changing the battery and not authorized service does in fact void your warranty (which can be extended to 6 years for 10 bucks)
Do master g of watches have an audible tick? I can’t stand analog ticking, but want one. Thanks
This model the ticking is more audible. It´s annoying to me.
Can someone explain the deal breaker about no solar power, can’t you just change the battery
Thanks for your review. Like you, I prefer my Casio ABC watches to be solar powered (and also atomic). I have four solar/atomic Casio ABC watches so far: Pathfinder PAW-2000-1, Pathfinder PAW-5000-1, Pro Trek PRW-S6000Y-1 and Rangeman GW-9400-1.

i have read some reviews abou the watch not connecting with the bluetooth to the app on the phone.. or in another case the connection kept timing out.. not sure if this is an issue with the watch.. or was it just a defect in the watch.. also how long should the battery last before replacement with the full functionality usage like blutetooth etc.
When Casio says 2 years, it usually means AT LEAST 2 years, but more probably 3-5

I wear the straps on a watch the other way round and because of the light button having that half moon cut out i find it really had to put on i wear the long strap from the 12 o'clock mark and the buckle from 6 o'clock can you buy the straps with the half moon the other way round...
Can the ggb1000 convert it into a tough solar system and a digital screen?
I just love this watch more and more each day. I just watched it perform a calibration of the compass all on its own!
That is, no buttons were pressed and it was sitting in time mode.. totally freaked me out and thought it was my imaging playing tricks! That was until I read the manual.. it seems that the watch performs an auto calibration every 24 hours!!!!! Wow..
Little brother it certainly ain't!
Best G I've ever owned and then some.
And yes, I change my own batteries ... Don't be scared people it's pinch easy...
I just can't say enough about the watch.
Loving it to death... Best G ever...
How do you go about water proofing it after you open it? Do you have to buy a new gasket?
I just received the black version of this, and I am very happy with it. The lack of solar charging doesn't bother me, as I've had charging on a Tough Solar G-shock go bad...
Lynn Little How did you go about fixing it? I’m considering getting this one. How is yours treating you?
Batts are easy to change, takes 5 min and they are super cheap... id rather change a batt every year than have a solar unit that could go bad
Hi can you tell me where the gg b100 is assembled btw great vid
I believe in Thailand
If this was tough solar, it might be my perfect G-Shock!
yeah, true.
As it has Bluetooth and a Step Counter it would have been too much drain on a solar panel
I have a Tough Solar Casio and it sucks a bit. In a winter it's hard to charge it and the light is a joke.
Nice one mate.
I have a small wrist, like 16, would that watch really look absurd on me?
Otherwise, I am sold.
I have a very small wrist and it fits perfect and doesn’t look absurd at all! Try it on👍🏽
I love that one...!
I just bought one 😁😁😁 and after this video, I chose the right one! Yes I drooled over the gwg 1000 but this watch has a lot of pro’s and only one con that I can think of , or from what I listened to. It’s not solar, so what!! I’ve had to replace batteries my whole life in watches , but none of them were this loaded with features. Omg please don’t complain because of that!! It’s only every second year!! It’s not once a week. Yes I’m a poor boy (not) , but I do appreciate good things when I see them. Oh by the way nice video. Cheers!!
I love the outdoors, I frequently go on hikes and I made the same conclusion that you did... the GWG1000 its hands down a wonderful watch, but this is better in terms of what you get for the money you spend.
Bezel snaps bro
This would be next my purchase.
@BJB don't care, bro.
same for me its not solar charging and my others are but its a beautiful functional watch
My mudmaster doesn’t have this red thing where the sensor written is ... is it fake or this is more newer model ....
What wears better between this and the grb100?
I take it back! This watch is awesome!
Great review. I prefer this to tough solar models. They fog up the screen.
Where can I buy the seal to replace when I will open the case to replace the battery?
Buddy, you don't have to replace the seal. Just lubricate the gasket and put it back after replacing the battery. You can buy lubricant on Amazon.
Is there a spec on temperature resistance? I'm looking for a watch that can withstand between below freezing temperatures.
Watch the torture tests he did for a Casio G-Shock and an ordinary Casio digital. Freezing, boiling, and a lot more.

Best mudmaster yet. The ability to customize the display is the biggest improvement imho…and it doesn’t have the “stupid crown” that likes to break
How can you customize the display?
@@basselamjad958 With the G Shock App. You can remove functions from the menu. For example, i removed the world time function as I never use it. I also changed the A pusher to display a full graph barometer so I can see the weather pattern.
Yesss! Finally a comment about the important things! With this one, you set everything with buttons. I was considerig the 1000 or 2000 but to think I'd have to take the watch off to set the timer or alarm is definitely a show stopper for me. Plus I dont have to click 10 thousand Times past all the functions to get to the ones I use most often.
The sad thing is this watch cannot set location in the app. We just can go back to our previous location when we connected the app. So for me the compass is no use for adventuring, except we only want to go back to our location. Im thinking of getting one of these.
I really like the design, it's somehow eye -catching and makes you feel tough 😎
And maybe that's the reason that it cant set a location, otherwise no one buy the GPR B-1000.
Hi, random question: Does the sensor in the GG-B100 contain mercury (for the thermometer and/or altimeter)? Thank you!
Nop
Thanks!!!
I have one question about the watch, you said that it connects automatically to your phone several times a day to keep the right time but, do you need to keep turned on the Bluetooth from your phone all the time so the watch can connect automatically??
Thanks
Yup
@@WatchGeek all right, thank you for responding so quickly :D
Thanks for the review. Very useful. Have been considering trading in my Apple Watch for this.
Please make video on G shock Gulf master GA1000
Maybe i missed it, which one is like this with solar? thanks!
Try the GPR B-1000, I owned it
What permissions do the watch ask for in order to pair with my phone i heard a bad review about it
Plz tell me what is it's battery life if I use most of the functions on day to day basis
About one year. My watch is 13 months old and I had the battery die 2 weeks ago. Save yourself the trouble and do the swap yourself too. A bunch of these stupid watch repair guys in my town would not touch it, so I was forced to do it myself. It took 1 hour, counting 15 minutes to run to the store for batteries, and 10 min to purge out the atmospheric moisture from the watch with nitrogen in a plastic bag. Not a difficult repair at all, without any custom tools (other than I had to borrow a tiny Philips screwdriver from a coworker)
how do you unpair the watch from mobile phone
I am using this watch ever first time please guide me how to set date and time...
