Great tutorial...changing my GGH-100 green strap band's battery soon. At last, today I manage to secure a pre-loved Burton edition (like in the video) from Japan. Can't wait.. to restore and use it.
Dang, wow, after seeing this,, don't take this watch to the mall watch shop to get the battery change, they will jack the watch case up trying to figure out how to change the battery. Do it yourself for sure 👍 Thanks for this PSA!
I heard every one saying , Solar this , Solar that! Man you sold me on getting this watch. My only concern was waterproof after changing battery. Thinking it needed chamber testing and all that, but the gasket seal , just like a car is needed to maintain pressure and waterproofing.
Absolutely, detaching all the bands before opening the back cover of a watch is a smart move. It helps prevent any accidental damage to the bands or the watch itself, and makes the process smoother and safer. Plus, it can give you better access and control when working on the watch. Just make sure you keep track of all the small parts and screws!
Thank you. This video surely simplifies the battery change. Also noticed by removing only one side of the band, I will be able to change the battery. Thanks for this....👍🏾
Thank you very much for the very details strip and resemble, save time and money only 1.99 $ for battery vs almost 20 $ at the watch shop to do the same things.😊
I learned that the Rubber seal sometimes sticks to the case back don't trust the Rubber seal to stay in the same position definitely remove it and install it in its little Trench sometimes a little vaseline with a Q-tip to replace the lubricant that was on the O-ring they lubricated the seal to keep it pliable and not dry up and crack
Thanks for showing yall. I have the same watch out here in Mizoram and no servicing centre is available out here. My question is that, after replacing the battery, will my watch still be waterproof??
Great video loved it made simple. But one question what size o rings/ gaskets/ seals do you need for this watch as I have same watch but cant get a answer anywhere m8
The app will alert You about battery, but only after connecting with the watch. BUT You probably will get this from the watch itself first, as the second hand will start beating every two not one seconds. Cheers.
All true but also the led light to see the time will start to flash instead of a steady solid light. Then the watch will show a battery symbol for dead battery
Thanks for showing how to do this. I took my watch to a watch repair shop and after they charged me $40 to replace the battery my watch now is fogged up. They said it's because the gasket overtime is dried out and old. I plan on ordering new gaskets and replace it after watching this video. But how do I remove the current fog that has built up in my watch?
I sent mine in to get the battery changed. When I got it back it didn't look like the back plate was sitting right. I took it apart and there were two gaskets. Can you confirm if it's supposed to have one gasket or two???
If I buy the energizer CR2025 battery I won’t get charged by Times Square for the battery replacement just $5.28 to put a new band or bezel on my other ones I have a GD-X6900-1 that runs on that battery as well
Casio claim it can last for 2 years, and depends on how often you use all the features, let's say you only use your watch just to tell the time and not using the ABC function, maybe you'll get an extra 1 year.
You need to show everyone the step that ensures the Humidity stays out when replacing the back cover. You just need to use a heat Gun to warm up inside ( not burn shit out of it) then place back cover on and drive in the 4 screws. Since it’s a air tight seal the Temp needs to no vary when replacing battery or it will start to show condensation while wearing it and your heated body temp.
i have the blue tooth carbon core in the uk i went into hinds watches to get a new battery and they said £ 59 quid for a new battery with fitting my watch went flat after 9 months ill never buy another one...
Hi, I have the same watch and now I have a problem with it.The electronic display disappeared and a SEC message appeared for few days and also disappeared??? I tried to change the battery but still nothing If someone knows where to buy the little screws from the back of the watch please leave a comment, thank you
Just one question, why do you sell all your watches and for such low prices?? And Are you a watch dealer of some sort (just asking due to the sheer amount of watches/boxes you have)??
Can you show them how to make it better and still be tough and water proof? I’m sure they could use another great engineer on the team designing new models.
@@catlady8324 Sure! Hey Casio As this is an expensive watch! Kindly put in a Tough Solar panel, like the one's you put on your mid to high end watches so we don't need to suffer with battery replacements every 2 years on this watch like anyone would on the low end Casio models. Alright where is my Cheque?
if yu are going to change your 0wn battery's - get a container to put pieces in - pieces that are smaller by just laying them on a cloth and or a surface can be blown away by your own breath -
im assuming it cost way more to have somebody else do it cuz mine was nasty the second time around. lol. im assuming they give it a scrub for 25 bucks. lol.
Think so? It’s fairly easy. The watch is a bit complicated to use. If a person can learn to use the watch, they can learn to change the battery. Much easier process lol
Well this ain't ordinary quartz watch where you just pop open the case back and change the battery, with this you need to strip its armor first.. And if too complicated I think employee at Casio official store are able to help you
Ok that sounds like you either didn’t sit the rubber gasket appropriately or didn’t tight the screws enough. I would open it back up, remove the battery, dry the inside with a microfiber cloth and let the module dry throughly. Then replace the battery, do an AC reset and seal the watch back up.
Good day..everything is ok with my watch...but sunrise/sunset is not working it gives me ...:...🔅 do u have any idea how to fix that....my home town is cairo ,Egypt thanks
and btw video creator shame on you for posting this, you are going to give hundreds/thousands of people problems with their watches. You miss out crucial instructions that are essential for problem avoidance, 3 of them to be precise, delete this video, learn how to do it properly, then remake the video
Still trying to figure out why you wouldn’t take off the straps first before removing the back of the case. And using a push pin instead of the spring bar tool you had right there? Awkward.
Get on with it ffs. That was painful to watch and sooooo drawn out. That isn’t how you calibrate the time as you showed at the end. All you do is press the connect button briefly until “time” is displayed and that will sync the time when it connects to your phone.
I think this video just shows how stupid you can be and have a watch repair business. I went 3 places to try and get mine done, and was forced to come here to TH-cam. Looks pretty trivial to me. As it happens, I was right. It took me 1 hour, including 15 minutes to run to the store for batteries, and 10 minutes for a clean, dry nitrogen purge inside a plastic bag to eliminate atmospheric moisture. (Which, BTW, the factory didn’t do on mine. Several times I rolled out of a warm sleeping bag into a 0 or -1C campsite, to find water condensing on the inside of the crystal)
DID IT! lol. used a paperclip to do the ac reset and had to peel that sticker off to get the battery out. but its one of those stickers that can be restickied. so make sure you guys do that or you might tear the metal clasp out with the battery because thats how the batteries locked into there. didnt know this thing had receive set to off on factory reset i went with it on for 2 years. i guess your just suppose to turn it on if you might have time to catch the next reset if its close to 630 or 1230 and your near the phone with bluetooth enabled.(if you want to be further than 2 meters away from your phone). hahahahaha. ect. thanks a ton for helping me out with the replacement. i just so happened to have a set of glassesscrew drivers and they are totally necessary. when he says size zero. they mean it lol.
@@BroAriq I did the change myself. it wasnt too tough. but you do need eyeglasses tool screwdrivers because the screws are THAT small. and theres a sticker on the battery that has to be peeled back or youll rip the metal out with the battery itself.
Great video. Just bought this watch today and saved this video for when i need to change my battery years from now .
great video! to be on the safe side, i bought some plastic tweezers for a small price so you don't accidentally short out the battery.
Great tutorial...changing my GGH-100 green strap band's battery soon. At last, today I manage to secure a pre-loved Burton edition (like in the video) from Japan. Can't wait.. to restore and use it.
Dang, wow, after seeing this,, don't take this watch to the mall watch shop to get the battery change, they will jack the watch case up trying to figure out how to change the battery. Do it yourself for sure 👍 Thanks for this PSA!
They are great at stripping screws and breaking parts from over tightening.
My thoughts exactly
Where I live the mall watch repair place would give it back to you in broken pieces 😂and tell you after it was broken already
Estas tecnologías no las conocen los de las tiendas normales
I would personally replace and lube the gasket with some silicon grease after every battery change.Great tutorial
Thank you kind sir was going to be charged £60 to replace the battery did it myself for£6 after watching this again thanks
Thank you my brother from a different mother . . .
Thanks for the video! For everyone who finds this video... the Hex head is 3/32.
I heard every one saying , Solar this , Solar that! Man you sold me on getting this watch. My only concern was waterproof after changing battery. Thinking it needed chamber testing and all that, but the gasket seal , just like a car is needed to maintain pressure and waterproofing.
That’s it... simple process. I’m actually selling one if you’re interested. It’s listed in my latest for sale video
@@GiShockGo I’ll go check the video out, thanks!
Yes I'm also thinking about waterproof and concern about Tough Solar.
What do you think about there facts?

Thankyou sir, much appreciated! Now my mudmaster has a new battery and is calibrated correctly.
same here, thanks a lot

What is the name of that lube? Where can we find it?

third time doing this watch. dont put the pins in backwards. lol. they stay in backwards. i watch this video to do it everytime haha thumbs up
Fantastic breakdown buddy really appreciate your efforts ..valuable info ..love G Shocks
What brand of battery do you recommend to make the change or which one has the best quality?
Well, thanks alot, changed the battery like you showed, worked like a charme. :)
Wow, Thanks for the review, It really helpful & yes I have my watch repair case so I will do it.

Thanks for showing yall. I have the same watch out here in Mizoram and no servicing centre is available out here. My question is that, after replacing the battery, will my watch still be waterproof??
Make sure you install the rubber gasket in the correct place and also tighten the screws. It will be water proof.
Is the white battery seal sticker for the watch important? I chucked it but now I'm not sure whether I should've.
What type of Allen wrench tool size measurement do you need to remove the hex screws?
The one that fits
Thank you so much for this
The video has been awesome and helpful. Could you make a video about the G Shock Gravity Master GRB 200 and how to change its batteries, please🙏
“And BOOM”!!! Thank you very much!
Very helpful. Thanks 😁👍. Yo Adrian I did it. !!
What is the best battery name and other full descriptions of it to buy?
Terimakasih banyak ... Bisa di coba nih... Kebetulan batre habis ...beli original batre dimana ya ?
Thanks that really works for me
Thanks for the video !!!!!
Is there no battery level indicator in the GGB100? 🤔 For something that lacks solar, I thought they'd have it in there.
Great video loved it made simple. But one question what size o rings/ gaskets/ seals do you need for this watch as I have same watch but cant get a answer anywhere m8
That strap is sick!
Hello! Got a question, do you know if the watch gives some short of warning either on the screen or in the app that the battery is low ? Thanks.
The app will alert You about battery, but only after connecting with the watch. BUT You probably will get this from the watch itself first, as the second hand will start beating every two not one seconds. Cheers.
@@kilogram7529 I have been told that the digital screen will show a change battery icon before the second hand moves every two seconds.
All true but also the led light to see the time will start to flash instead of a steady solid light. Then the watch will show a battery symbol for dead battery

Is it still water proof after doing it yourself....
Thanks for showing how to do this. I took my watch to a watch repair shop and after they charged me $40 to replace the battery my watch now is fogged up. They said it's because the gasket overtime is dried out and old. I plan on ordering new gaskets and replace it after watching this video. But how do I remove the current fog that has built up in my watch?
Putting it in a hot car helps, just not directly in the sun
Thank you for the video. I'm now not scared to DIY. BTW what's the model version of the watch? It looks fantastic with a white arrows and digits.
Perfect video
Ima jus take it to the shop no🧢
i think its very easy to make screws slide in this carbon case when customer try to change battery at first time
Not if you know what your doing. The same participles apply regardless of what material your screwing into.Common sense prevails mate....
Thank you very much ..for the great review
th-cam.com/video/ltW4RmbH_mE/w-d-xo.html G-Shock...
Does it need pressure testing every time you change battery?
th-cam.com/video/ltW4RmbH_mE/w-d-xo.html G-Shock...
Hi, random question: Does the sensor in the GG-B100 contain mercury (for the thermometer and/or altimeter)? Thank you!
Does anyone know which type of battery we should buy?
I sent mine in to get the battery changed. When I got it back it didn't look like the back plate was sitting right. I took it apart and there were two gaskets. Can you confirm if it's supposed to have one gasket or two???
What size is the Allen key??
If I buy the energizer CR2025 battery I won’t get charged by Times Square for the battery replacement just $5.28 to put a new band or bezel on my other ones I have a GD-X6900-1 that runs on that battery as well
The most important thing what is missing in this video is changing the battery itself which is located underneath the cover!
On average, how long does the battery last ?
Casio claim it can last for 2 years, and depends on how often you use all the features, let's say you only use your watch just to tell the time and not using the ABC function, maybe you'll get an extra 1 year.
Excellent video 😊😊
great video brother thanks for the info!!
Thank you.
Thanks!
Very usefull video. Thankyou
Wonder if you can put a rechargeable one in it and charge wireless?
Surely you shorted the battery out picking it up with metal tweezers, I would never hold a button battery with metal tweezers.
Helpful. Thanks!
You need to show everyone the step that ensures the Humidity stays out when replacing the back cover.

The gasket should be replaced and lubed with silicone grease
Thank you. On order~~~~~~~!
does digital and analog only use 1 cr2025 battery?

Make sure you set your watch designed for abuse face down so you don't scratch it.
