How to Replace CASIO G-Shock Battery DW-5600E

Change G-Shock Battery DW-5600E

[@Harleywindtherapy]

Best video for sure. I just changed my DW5600e using this video as a guide. Only tricky part for me was unlocking the battery... maybe I was being too gentle...but I got it eventually. $1 Duracell and a $7 thing of silicone grease and I'm good. The BEST watch in the world to me I'd back in order! I've worn the same watch since my basic training decades ago. My watch repair shop closed this past year (coronavirus) so I had to learn how to it on my own. Toughest watch in the world to me. I never take it off...fresh and salt water, fishing, banging into stuff, mud races, painting (and paint thinner!) And blood, guts, grease, and anything else I get into... this watch shines.

This guy has a very particular set of skills; skills that he has acquired over a very long career, skills that require those gloves.

[@mikepowers9580]

Des Jon lol first thing i thought

[@joaovianna7321]

Those rubber gloves would have saved one of my Casio Marine Gear MRT200 when I attempted to change its two batteries. At a giving moment while handling and trying to fit the batteries in their slots I felt a tingling on my finger and I thought it could have been a electric discharge. My LCD display was never the same again. It is unstable, blinks, the numbers disappears and appears when changing functions and the batteries do not last a week. Be careful not to short yours! I did not believe I would!

[@markhamilton3215]

Would you trust to dive your watch 3-4 meter under water after having changed the battery yourself ? .....just make a try please....

[@stfuplsok]

September 2021 - This wordless detailed filled very clear DIY video is outstanding. I especially like the way they wrapped the strap back. Awesome!

[@spaektor]

i just watched a video where you couldn't see the work being done because the straps were blocking the view... i was like, why would you even post a video like that? then i found this video -- the strap flip is genius!

[@Turmogo]

The whole procedure it's a little bit overkill but putting the strap that way in order to make the back plate easier to remove is a very good idea.

[@thegoldenaltar6908]

Great video. I just replaced my battery thanks to you! Appreciate it very much. You’re very meticulous, I love it. No talking, just your mysterious black gloves and subtitles 👍🏽🙌🏽

[@investmentgeek21]

How much year you battery last?

[@jamess8175]

This guy is a professional who does it so skilfully, diligently, even cleaning the back case, rubber gasket and reapplying silicone. If you go to a watch repair shop to replace the battery, do you think he will bother to other than simply replacing the battery and screwing the case back in place? I wish he would, but I know he wouldn't.

[@Myrslokstok]

James S Well two watches (different places) off mine they overscrewed the screws so they broke.

[@jamess8175]

@@Myrslokstok I am sorry to hear that. By my experience, it's best to replace the battery of the watch at its authorised service centre. Only they will clean the internals and reapply silicone for waterproofing. It will cost a lot more, but it is the only way to retain the integrity and well-being of the watch.

[@Myrslokstok]

James S Yes offcourse but there are no such in Sweeden for Bulova. Considering the ceep price like $250 on sale, it was not worth the $80 for the high end delers at the luxary street of Stockholm. So I whent with the big watch store chain in sweden that only sells watches and it was only 20 then. I liked the look and especially the watch band sollid metall link on the old one. Now both are broken.

[@jamess8175]

@@Myrslokstok I understand. I can see you are sad that your two watches are broken. Then at best, try to find a more reliable watch technician to restore your watches. Hope you get your watches back in good order soon. Good luck!

[@robertjaster2k]

Sometimes doing by yourself is better than pay at shop. I did pay for replace battery and they forgot put silicone to seal propely then you go for shower and it's foggy. Great vid! Thanks.

[@damotionart]

Great video! It felt hard to find a trusted place to get the battery changed so I was tempted to do it myself but was worried to damage the watch. With this video it made me feel very confident. I was able to change it now in 15 minutes. I skipped the o-ring refurbishment as I do not have the product. I used a needle to unlock the battery and it went well. For the small coil I was careful and it stayed well in place. For the AC reset, I used an old copper wire and could have used a paper clip. I noticed my battery was low because the backlight no longer worked and the digits fading. It now works like a charm. Thank you!

[@faraaz1541]

Has it remained waterproof?

[@damotionart]

@@faraaz1541 I did not put my watch purposefully in the water since but have used it normally and it works fine. Of course, if you can refurbish the o-ring it will be better.

[@victorlgcarvalho]

Thanks a lot. I got really puzzled when trying to remove the old battery, and your video saved me!

[@xtbro78]

This is the best video that I've found, really good camera work close up. I feel confident now working on my G-Shock. This person's a pro who's probably done dozens of these. Thank you for helping.

[@octavioroso_miami1251]

I just replaced the battery on mine DW-5600E yesterday after 10 years obviously, I cleaned and applied the silicone grease on the gasket the watch is running like new ready for at least 5 + years on an energizer 2016 battery awesome video.

[@octavioroso_miami1251]

@Be CarefulMine lasted 10 years but I didn't use the alarm or the el backlight at all, but I'm sure it will last way more than 2 years.

[@damonreynolds6775]

Awesome tutorial. Only thing I'd add is be very careful of the alarm spring. You can see it clearly at 07:21. Controls all the sounds the watch makes. It can fall out, and good luck finding it 😁

[@johnmahon5699]

So if I take that spring out, there is no chance to make any noise from the watch? If so, I'll be taking it out for when I'm on set.

[@jacklead8802]

If you take that out the watch doesn’t be able to make any sound no more, until you put that little spring back in its position in the module. If you lose that you can extract a new one from a spring bar for watches’ metal bracelets. Just cut one of the two extremities of the spring bar and collect the spring from its own inside. Than place it on the module of your Casio et voilà, les jeux sont fait: you have your Casio that can make every sound again

[@Jerry-rf8bn]

Incredible instructional video and didn't need any verbal instructions. Even I could do this. I have three Casio solar-powered watches so, I know what I'll be watching when it comes time to replace the batteries in these watches. Thank;k you so much!!

[@Manny4356]

I think I'll just take my watch to my local watch repairman when I need a battery replacement. I'd be afraid of damaging my watch. But it was still cool to see exactly how the battery replacement is like. Thumbs up on the video!

[@Manny4356]

I have 2 places near my place of work that have very competent watch repairmen. I've had G-Shocks repaired by them and they've been awesome. But I'll definitely keep your advice in mind if I have to get my watches repaired somewhere else.

[@Crazytesseract]

And I will try to extend the battery life so that it outlives the watch. Use the light sparingly, and don't use alarms often. FYI, my first G-Shock battery is in its 7th year. Only the light does not function.

[@paulwilberforce9659]

For clean the rubber gasket, you shouldn't pull it like that because it may be too big.

You mean Non binary or "it"... 😉

translation: pulling on the rubber gasket can stretch it, and the gasket will not go back into its track.

How to clean the gasket than as need to rub it. Maybe use cotton bud to dap it??

Nice and easy to follow. I did not have such nice and tiny tweezers. To unlock the batterie i used a needle and for the AC reset i used a piece of wire. Hopefully the water stays out 😬. Thanks for the video.

Very enlightening and also really rare to find such a video on battery change. Good that someone actually thought of making it. It's really helpful. BTW, I have two questions with regard to this watch: 1) How long does the battery last in general? 2) Does it have a vibrator that vibrates when the alarm plays?

[@LeChristEstRoi]

1) 5 to 10 years depending on how often you use the alarm function and the backlight. 2) DW 5600 series don't have vibration alarm.

Those solar batteries won't last forever and needs to be replaced as well at some point.

[@JackyYBT]

Get an automatic watch instead

[@MrPleers]

​@@JackyYBT If you want your watch to be as tough as possible, quartz is the way to go. And digital quartz is even better. No moving parts to damage or dislodge.

[@JackyYBT]

@@MrPleers Yup totally agreed on that, but if you hate changing battery after few years then automatic and mechanical watch is the way to go. Plus you get those smooth seconds hand.

[@kenp133]

Make sure you pry open the left side of the battery retainer. It should be pretty easy to open. The right side is not able to release and you will damage it if you pry too hard.

[@Tube-bank]

hakaihan, an excellent video, thank you. I’ve never seen a anybody work so calmly and confidently and treat a watch with such care and it’s a lesson to us all I think. I can’t wait to start the battery replacement on my GB-6900BU I’m just a bit worried about releasing my battery cover. You seem to go in “sideways” to pry back one of the two prongs and it should pop open, right? Great idea about twisting the bracelet to assist access to the back of the watch, I’ve never seen that tip before. Another question do you really need to put that adhesive-backed round seal back over the battery? What is it’s purpose? Thanks again.

[@Crazytesseract]

It is an insulator, to prevent the battery from contacting the metal plate/points. Here you have a rubber cover, which might prevent such contact, but better put on the adhesive seal, as it also keeps the battery lock secure.

[@ppalmtop]

hakaihan, thanks very much for that explanation. Now I know and won’t forget. Thanks. Peter

[@ppalmtop]

hakaihan, I meant to ask you before. What make and model number are those curved tweezers you were using? I would like to get a pair. Thanks, Peter

[@Tube-bank]

@@Crazytesseract CT I'm not sure if I acknowledged your helpful explanation. Appreciated thanks. Peter

[@Crazytesseract]

@@Tube-bank You are welcome. However a small connecter needs to contact the buzzer which is attached to the back covers plate, and a small cutout for that is provided. If this contact is not made, the buzzer won't beep.

Thanks for the video, shows the process nicely (was worried you’d tightened that first screw a little much, but recovered with cross pattern tightening). All I can think is, why did i not just buy the solar version, I can see the limited times I’ll wear this baby, I’ll probably be up the mountain & the battery will fail, and it’s not just a simple pop & swap, too bad

What about the spring that makes the button tone "beep" for the alarms or hour mark? Those usually pop up in the air when you take the back case off the watch. I bought and re-sold a G-shock on eBay and had to change the battery. It popped out. The customer sent it back and I got a spring from the spring bar that keeps a regular watch's strap or bracelet on. I made sure to pick a spring bar that's spring inside of it was very close to the width of the original spring that came with the G-shock. I cut it with needle nose pliers with the sharp cutting tool part near the handle. Replaced the spring. Put the back case back on and the button tone "beep" for the alarms, hourly chime, and button operation "beep" worked properly again and mailed it back to the customer. Are there not these springs on the dw5600? They will pop out of the movement when the back case is removed and fly somewhere and get lost if you're not careful. This customer is how I found out how the button tone sound of a G-shock works. I watched a video on KZbin on how to replace a lost spring and that's how I fixed the watch. I'm more careful now not to lose the original but because I was a watch dealer who bought, sometimes fixed and resold watches I had to do this a few times and I have lots of extra spring bars from sprucing up watches with new straps and bracelets. I'll also polish the watch but changing the spring in a G-shock, polishing the case, changing batteries and replacing straps and bracelets is all I know how to do. I made decent money at it until COVID-19 left half the country at home wondering how to make money before figuring out what I was doing and it became impossible to make enough money to keep doing it. It's definitely a "it takes money to make money" business.

[@rubikfan1]

this is not my watch, but i recently replaced my battery. i got a 2025. do you know how much tolerance an average watch have? could i say replace the 2025 with a 2032. for some extra battery life. or whould that not fit?

Has anyone left out the grey circular rubber disc that sits between the back and the movement ? Someone commented on a forum that leaving that out made the alarm a bit louder. If that was true would the watch function okay without it in place ? (though it may loose some of its shock resistance)

[@ninjesus4079]

Great video! Do you know if changing the battery affects the water resistance?

[@Crazytesseract]

May be a little.

Make sure the seal is cleaned and then lubricated. If you do that then it will still be water resistant.
