Last time I needed my battery replaced, the guy charged me $50 USD and told me only a professional could do the job. Today, my wife & kids found your tutorial, then bought a $4 USD battery and did it ourselves in less than 5 minutes. It was easy. Your tutorial was perfectly informative. Your english was clear, correct, easy to understand, THANK YOU!
Thanks to you I have fixed my beloved watch which i thought i had lost!! people like you using the internet for sharing knowledge are making the world a better place, Many Thanks! And by the way your english is excellent :)
Thank you. I could not figure out how to get the battery to release. Your tutorial was excellent! FYI, to release the piece holding in the battery, if you do not have sharp pointed tweasers, you can use a stick pin to release the holding strap.
I didn't count the operations for changing the batteries in my G-Shocks, but your Video looks the same than my procedure and that feels good. You're professional! :)
Many, many thanks. I replaced the battery in my 17 year old DW-5600E tonight, when my watch didn't work with the new battery I looked here. You taught me about the AC reset - it was easy to locate and my watch is perfect again. Great tutorial!
Thanks for showing the AC reset. just did this for my TGW-10 and it worked just great. AC, all clear, never knew that! Thanks again, and your English is fine.
I had a strange anomaly with my 2548-module G Shock: it seemed to be in a coma--deep sleep, as the Casio technical support person said, but that's all she could say. So I searched some more, wandering in despair, and resolved to look inside. Your tutorial and your calm approach gave me the confidence to try. Once there, or in the back of my mind: "Let's try a reset--the AC". Sure enough--from blank display to Japanese as-manufactured display--press "set" and I was "good as new". Thanks.
great little video. I have a (very?) old model Gshock which I just pulled out of a drawer tonight. Your video was definitely good enough for me to put a new battery in and resurrect this great classic! Thanks!
After trying to fix my watch/battery change it still wouldn't work. I was so bummed. Then I found your video, and she works like a charm. Great Instructions!! Thank You! After Following your instructions The G shock works again. :) A+
Thanks for this, it helped me change the battery on my Casio Protreck 1471. The trickiest part was getting the rubber seal ring to sit properly in its groove - it kept popping out. I set it as well as I could, then replaced the back panel. Part of the ring still protruded. I pushed this back in with a screw driver and felt it 'pop' back into place. Also, the Protreck has two batteries and two latches. The latches open on the bottom ends.
Thanks for the tutorial! Very informative. I'm glad you showed us how to service a G-Shock - they tend to be more complex than standard watches and necessitate more steps. Well done, sir.
Thank you very much for posting this. I thought my Casio SGW-300H had died, all the buttons didnt seem to work, and all the icons had become visible and screen seemed to be locked.. I thought about sending it away for repair, but cost was going to nearly as much as the watch. So took a chance on that it was just the battery...I followed your video, which is very straight forward...and now the watch is going happily. Thanks Again. :-)
thanks man for the video. I was having trouble touching the ac to battery's + terminal. I thought the back of cover had ac. Thanks a bunch for making it simple.
Thank you for the excellent tutorial! That tiny spring you discussed was lying horizontally under the back bezel; with high magnification I was able to discern which hole to place it in (mine has a nylon barrel) by locating the tiny mark it had made on the piezo disc. If the past is prologue, the new battery should last ~seven years.
Great video! Now I know where the small spring goes that I found on the desk. The AC was a great point that I would not have known about. Your english is perfect, thanks again.
Thank you again. Second battery change on my gshock dw004 that I have returned to you for absolute clarity. The ac point is labelled on the inside of my watch as you said, and the contact point is like a little brass bit down inside the watch. I used a straightened steel spring to make the connection as my tweezers didn't have points. Watch is 22 years old and still going strong 😁 mind out for that tiny spring too 😁
Thanks for sharing this even I have just watched it in 2017. Your 2008 tutorial still works, especially the A/C part. I would have never been able to figure it out by myself. Thanks very much.
Sjors, Thank you for taking the time to post this video, it has been very helpful, as I'm just about to change the battery on a 10 year old DW6600. Your english is very good, by the way!!
Thank you very much for your help, i actualy as a child opend up my casio baby g watch in an atempt to change the battery losing the tiny little spring in the process... apon watching this tutorial i have discoverd my error and have created another means of making the contact where the spring should have been by using a small piece of wire that slots into the hole and doubles over at the top making the contact with the "beeping crystal" therefore fixing the problem.
Thanks for the great video! The AC had me stumped as to why my watch wasn't turning on after a new battery! Never woulda guessed! Now its working perfect :)
Thank you so much. All of it is very simple except knowing that you must reset via the AC button. Without that little piece of information, the rest is useless.
Thank you for a very helpful presentation. The video is a little out of focus but I was able to follow your excellent instructions and I now have a working watch again. : )
when placing back the o ring seal down into the groove make 100% sure the rubber seal is in the groove they have a tendency to spring out ..I push mine down very slightly allowing the lubication grease hold it for a few seconds,untill you can clamp the back down.
My Casio dealer is also an authorized Casio Service Center. He has a air conditioned room, but there is no over-pressurized room. We are talking about 20 Bar water resistance. A slightly higher or lower air pressure won't harm as it is only a fraction of the withstand-able pressure.
Awesome video, thank you! I had a little trouble figuring out how to get the battery retaining strap unhooked, but once I got that figured out, all went well. Thanks!
Great G-Shock service video!! Your efforts are greatly appreciated!! I have a GW-330A and so do my 2 sons and my father. (4 in all) Knowing how to service these is a big deal. :-)
I absolutely love my G-Shock DW--6900 which I've actually had for more than 24 years! I've had to replace the rubberized band once and of course the battery maybe 4 or 5 times.
Admiro os relógios G - stock, são muito bonitos e resistentes. A Casio deveria fabricar celulares e notebooks, computadores. Isso é uma sugestão apenas. Os relógios da Casio são top. Adoro a linha G- SHOCK.
Get some extremely fine conductor metal wire. I used 0.2mm [0.011"] conductor. After resetting watch place rubber backing sheet over the rear. Then put wire into the spring location. Bend wire 90 degrees so it sits flat on top of the rubber. Cut the bent end, leave 4 or 5 mm to contact the speaker ceramic. Carefully place the metal back onto the watch and test that the sound works. Buy wire in Maplin or ask an electronics friend for some. Must be fine wire to avoid steam ingress.
hey, bedankt. Heb niet dezelfde, maar een GW-700-E. Toch wel wat aan deze video gehad. Heb wel naast dat ene veertje voor geluid een ander veertje dat eruitviel toen ik m opendeed. Ong. even dik als het uurwerk zelf, maar 'k zou niet weten waar het thuishoort =) Maar alle functies, geluid, licht, ... blijken toch te werken... dus thanks!
Thanks so much for this clip bro. I bought me a riseman from 1999. i changed the battery. First it doesn`t work. then i found your clip. I don`t know the AC Button. Now it works. Thanks so much for this clip. Look at my channel. We see us in the GSI. THX bro

@bzkyvl Most G-Shock models use a little spring that makes contact with the little piezo speaker in the back plate. Some however have a small metal piece, that have the same function. It seems that your pre-G-Shock DW-290 has a similat metal piece. Kind regards, Sjors
Please note that it is a good Casio dealer. There ar many horor stories about jewelers and specially department stores screwing your G up (demolising the battery lock, loosing the alarm spring, etc). Cheers, Sjors
Hello! First of all great video. Unfortunately I didn't see it on time and while trying to change the battery of my baby-g I totally disassembled it. Except from the loose alarm string I found another string that is a bit smaller and in a gold colour. I was wondering if you know where did this string came from. Thanks a lot.
hi. i find your video very helpful. i have a G schock model G2300. it needs strap/band replacement. i have already the replacement strap/band. i just need the guide how to replace the strap/band. i would appreciate it a lot if you would show me how to do it. Thank you very much
Great tutorial.Helps a lot and very descriptive.My Casio G 7710-1DR has new battery (same model number as original) and shows time with factory default.While holding module [3095] out of the case it is no problem adjusting time, alarm, stopwatch, ... , by pressing the metal connections with plastic tweezersAfter the module is inserted back into watch and outer metal back plate is put back on case and tightened with screws, then only mode button works.Checking for any mistakes, I have taken out the module many times, done a reset, and put it back again.Same problem.It seems four buttons is no longer in contact with time module.No reaction by pressing down. Possible help wanted.
@Pankomputerek I had this two or three times. First try one or two AC reset procedures. If it stays dead, or does strange things (EL stays on with blanc screen, strange digits in the display) take out the battery and leave the watch for several hours (I recommend about 24 hour). Then instal the battery and try again. Good chance it works flawless.

Perfect! Thanks very much. It was getting the AC to work that I couldn't work out. You're English is great - I had no difficulty in understanding you.

Thanks, Sjors! Did my first battery change on a G-shock, and all went well thanks to your video.
thank you for your detailed instruction, i couldn't get the darn thing going until i watched your video. much appreciated
Thanks for this guide, it saved me a fortune at the watch shop. I like.
Thank you for the video,after all these years you save the life of my DW-003 of 1997.The naughty AC !!!
Great tutorial. I changed the battery on my dw-004 watching this. Thanks.
Thanks man. I was little clueless how to remove the battery clip but found the way after watching the video.
Great video! Now I know where the small spring goes that I found on the desk. The AC was a great point that I would not have known about. Your english is perfect, thanks again.

Missed that one bit with AC, thanks for video!
Great tutorial, helped me resurrect my 10 year old watch.
Cheers mate, piece of cake with your help - i'm pretty sure I would have screwed up the watch if I had not watched your video. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing this even I have just watched it in 2017. Your 2008 tutorial still works, especially the A/C part. I would have never been able to figure it out by myself. Thanks very much.
watched this video in 2022.
just farted, it was nice.

All the videos and this one finally did it.
Sjors,
Thank you for taking the time to post this video, it has been very helpful, as I'm just about to change the battery on a 10 year old DW6600. Your english is very good, by the way!!

good one about the "AC procedure" now its working.. thnks Sjors
Thanks it was the reset thingy i missed so it wouldent start, now it works great!
Thanks for the great video! The AC had me stumped as to why my watch wasn't turning on after a new battery! Never woulda guessed! Now its working perfect :)
Thank you so much. You showed me how to reset it with the AC and battery. I didnt know how to do that as the instructions from Casio suck lol.
Merci beaucoup, grâce à votre vidéo j'ai pu changer la pile de ma montre polar
I have a similar CASIO watch and I got it going. Thanks for the tip on the AC Reset. It took several tries, but eventually it worked!
Thank you so much. All of it is very simple except knowing that you must reset via the AC button. Without that little piece of information, the rest is useless.

thanks for explaining the sound spring and speaker funtions!
Great G-Shock service video!! Your efforts are greatly appreciated!! I have a GW-330A and so do my 2 sons and my father. (4 in all) Knowing how to service these is a big deal. :-)
Wouldn't of been able to fix my watch without this thanks!!!!!
I absolutely love my G-Shock DW--6900 which I've actually had for more than 24 years! I've had to replace the rubberized band once and of course the battery maybe 4 or 5 times.
....and your English is fabulous!
great video, how to remove the battery and the ac reset are great.
Sir, i must thank you, you have just saved me about 80 dollars on a new watch
WOW. Just got my DW200 working. It's been dead for 12 years!-) big thanks sjors
Thank you. This video helped very much...Couldnt have done it without you.
Thank you for that video! It did help to find the reset connector.
I failed on my first gshock,so I had to get the dw-6900sn1 as my new gshock. But thanks,now I have learned to change the battery when I need to lol
Great tutorial. I just changed the battery. Thank you for posting the tutorial.
Nice video - your English is great actually. like the last guy said.
Very helpful tips also on the resetting.
Admiro os relógios G - stock, são muito bonitos e resistentes.

Good vid... never would have found the AC point, or how to remove the battery brace without instructions. And the english was good as any.
Wow... thanks so much for doing this tutorial. It was exactly what I needed.

excellent, i just change the battery using your tutorial. thank.
@Mohaamadq thats why you put the special grease on the little round rubber piece
Thank you so much! I have been mourning the demise of my favorite watch and now I know how to fix it. TYTYTYTYTY!!!!!
Great!!! I fanaly found how to restart the clock!
THANK YOU!
That's just worked great for me thanks! nothing wrong with your English at all!
Very clear and useful, thank you!
Thanks a lot mate! Just changed the battery on my G101. :) Cheers!
Thanks! Its really hard to pull that little clip to remove the batery but i did it.... regards from Mexico city
Thanks for the video. Needed the reset move. stupid casio
My friend, I found this extraordinarily useful, thank you so much. :)
Good job! My watch works perfectly now. Thank you!
Thank you for this tutorial. It was very interesting.
This is an old G-Shock. I'd like to see a video for the current ones.
Thank You for making that look easy
Sjors, you're awesome! Thank you very much!
Please note that it is a good Casio dealer. There ar many horor stories about jewelers and specially department stores screwing your G up (demolising the battery lock, loosing the alarm spring, etc).
Cheers,

this guy has swag
Great video. Could not have changed the battery without these instructions. Do I detect a dutch accent?
thank you, from california
