How do you clean your G-Shock
How do you clean your G-Shock
I've got an orange GX-56. Looks great, but the case/band absorbs dirt and even body oil. The best industrial cleaners/degreasers I can get my hands on do not remove the stains. What do you do? Thanx - Michael

Try a Magic Eraser. Or just forget about it.

I hose mine off after mountain biking the get the dirt out. If the band starts to smell I wash it with soap & water... that's about it.

I put mine in the toilet and flush it 3 times, it seems to do the job

Re: How do you clean your G-Shock
The stain isn't on the surface, you could say it becomes a part of the band. There's probably no getting it out without damaging/aging the band and making it brittle. Ignore or replace.

Re: How do you clean your G-Shock
speaking of g shocks, my battery just died..is it simple enough to bring to any jeweler to swap the battery? I presume it would be simple.

Dude change them yourself. It's easy to do. You won't even need two screwdrivers!

Re: How do you clean your G-Shock
Do it yourself, just make sure you seat the gasket correctly afterward. It may seem obvious but I flooded one of my G's this way a few years back

Re: How do you clean your G-Shock
It isn't to hard at all and there are tutorials all over the net, I just did one in my older G-shock and it used a 2016 battery and I was able to get that at walmart. Just one thing I would recommend is to put some silicon lube on the gasket if you can. Mine was super dried up.ericf4 wrote:speaking of g shocks, my battery just died..is it simple enough to bring to any jeweler to swap the battery? I presume it would be simple.

Re: How do you clean your G-Shock
Will silicone based fishing reel oil suffice for the gasket, or does it need to be more viscous?

A wee bit more viscous.

Re: How do you clean your G-Shock
Take that sucker apart! There is more shit trapped under that bezel than you will believe. You can of course remove the screw, but be careful not to strip them. Another way is the leave the screws in a pry the bezel off. It works just fine and you don't have to worry about the screws. From there it is just soap and water
