How to Change a G-SHOCK Watch Battery

[@WatchReview]

Let me know if you are having trouble.

[@ellisjackson3355]

Having trouble with releasing dual side by side batteries from their cage on a gst210

[@senpaiweeb]

Watch Review excuse me my g shock watch cover for the battery won’t come off

[@CJTas87]

Hello, thanks for helpful video, however my cage came right off and I can't get it back in, any ideas? Ty

@@senpaiweeb Mine's too......I don't how to open it properly when the screws are covered in glue..

[@alexh9279]

I dropped one of the screws onto the carpet, looked for 15 minutes and could not find it. =(

[@GeoffreyFeldmanMA]

I would also suggest photographing the back with the back plate in place, before removing it. This can help with aligning it later. It's something I do with all sorts of DIY repair and can be a life saver if you get confused.

[@shubuak7082]

Yes , we should always photograph

[@dangalow3793]

Thank you for actually having commentary for this process. Was very unpleasantly surprised to see most other videos were just going through the motions without a single word.

[@CoolsBreeze]

Saved me $25 from paying a random dude in switching my battery.

[@producedbysmoothway]

How much was the screwdriver kit and battery? How much time did it take you?

[@5065ca]

the only suggestion I would add is before you remove the white plastic cover mark it or take a picture of how it's placed before you pull it out or your gonna be spending time playing with it

[@JuliusSDeLaCruz]

Man removing the battery was a hassle I was so worried I’d bust the whole thing thanks for the video

[@OkImJustCommenting]

Thank you for this video! It definiteIy helped!! I have the same model as shown in your video and I found out that the battery can be removed by gently pressing the battery on the opposite side of the locking mechanism. I found this out by accident to be honest lol but I hope it will help anyone who doesn't happen to have a pair of tweezers. Thanks again for the video!!!

[@topcatcoolio8807]

Thnx bro

[@BenMordecai]

Helpful video. I encountered a few problems that I was able to solve as such: 1. Mine had a sticker over the battery telling me about the need to ground the battery to reset it. I completely removed the sticker and used a knife's edge to get under it 2. My battery retaining clip was difficult to remove and I slightly bent it in the process so it would not relatch. I just bent it in the opposite direction and it latched again. 3. Make sure to observe the polarity of the battery when you remove it. Mine was + side up.

[@kaiochanx3348]

I was wondering whether it was necessary to put the white battery seal sticker back on (the one you're talking about). I removed mine though I'm wondering if I should have kept it.

[@Hippienolic2]

Having a similar issue with the clip. Sound like we have a similar model. On the model I’m working with you have to pull the battery cover to the side and then it should unlatch, rather than just pulling up

[@stephenhookephotography8669]

Perfect! Changed my battery and brought my watch back to life. Thank you!!

[@nycwhiskeyreview]

It took few tries and a little more patience than I normally have but I got it back together. Couple of tips: 1. Get a base/magnifying glass combo to be hands free. 2. Get a direct light on the watch. I used my mini headlamp. 3. When you re-assemble use a took to confirm the watch is in the case and then gently "play" with the arc'd metal tabs that make contact with the watch case and look for the external buttons to push the metal tabs. If you see this you should be level, set and ready to close the watch back up. Thx for the video Watch Review! Very helpful!

1:11　The important thing for me was knowing which side of the battery clip to lift. The answer is the side with the two prongs.

[@randypoffo4life]

1:08 how do remove the battery? It doesn't really explain.

[@kurosenpai101]

In case you still struggle, you have to use your tweezers or some really small thin blade and unhook the cage. The cage literally just hooked onto a plastic bump which is visible from the top of the cage. Just pry it undone by taking the tweezers and going under the side with the double stem of the cage. I know its actually hard to explain but easier to do when you understand. I hope this kind help

[@nweasels]

Thanks for the video m8. It's a lot less daunting than I expected.

Thanks a-lot for posting this video, it was very helpful. I just replaced the battery today and unfortunately, during the process, I broke the small 'latch' that holds the battery retaining clip. Any advice? Is there an easy way to fix this by replacing a certain part or do I need to replace the entire mechanism?

[@ChrisRogers-mb9ft]

Hi Friend. My G-shock has got a one piece band that goes across the back of the watch and seems to be held in place with 4 tiny screws near where the lugs would be on a normal watch. I’ve taken the 4 screws out but nothing seems to be coming apart easily to remove the band. Do you have any tips? I can get to the 4 screws holding the back cover on but I can’t remove the white plastic cover plate because the band is in the way. I don’t want to admit defeat and take it to a watch repairman…yet…! Thanks in advance.

hello, ive destroyed the head of one screw on my casio watch. Is ther any way how i could remove the srew?

[@chrischovanec2093]

Yes ders 2 ways to do it either get a small skrew extractor from home Depot if they got that small of a size they come in sets and the other way is to drill it out but this would be extremely hard with a watch to not damage anything ... Another way is to cut a straight line in top of bolt so u can A flat head on it...

[@chrischovanec2093]

Oh jus thought of one more way.. so this way kinda getto and not usually the best but it does work sumtimes and perhaps the first way that u should try due to it being so delicate spot and not alot of room for air... So what u do is get a rubber band and put it flat on the screw then just get ur Phillips and try the screw again. So to reilistrate the rubber band should be sandwichd between screw and Phillips .

[@gaboaaa23]

@@chrischovanec2093 Hello, Screextractor costs about 25-30 Euros. The dremel version can work maybe. But after that i will need a ticker screw i gues because the screw "shaft" will get damaged. Im thinking of the streight line version you mentioned last. Will see how it turns out. Thanks

[@gaboaaa23]

@@chrischovanec2093 yes saw that option in some of the videos ive watched now! I will get the son of a ....screw out :)

[@chrischovanec2093]

Oh good luck and let me know how it goes and ya I'd try the flat version first because you could always move to drilling it out if it doesn't. And you might need a bigger screw what you do to make it as clean as possible is start with the smallest drill bit you have and just keep moving up one size at a time the extractor would be your best bet but I get what you're saying I wouldn't spend 25 to $30 if you're only going to use it once but if you are a handyman or work with tools a lot or even here an there it's a great investment and can get you out of a lot of shytty situations
