I wish G-Shock and Baby-G would put up more authorized service centers all over the country for repair, battery replacement, and other services. We prefer to pay for peace of mind that our G-Shocks will still function normally even if we use it while swimming. You just buy the replacement battery from Lazada or Shopee since there are shops on these sites claiming to sell authentic and legit battery for different models of GShock.
G FORCE WATCH BATTERY REPLACEMENT UPDATE
I don’t know if there is a 2-year warranty on the battery, but I’ll be contacting the company on this and will update this post.Ĭan you replace your GShock battery DIY? Based on my check on Youtube and the various tutorials/guides available there, yes you can replace the battery yourself.
Cleaning of the watch face, strap, bezel, back, etc. To cut the long story short, our GShock watches’ batteries were replaced properly and claimed the same day, for P500 each. They got there just in the nick of time, just before the cut-off time of 2 PM.
Eventually what happened is that my brother and sister-in-law went to their main office in Ortigas, Pasig, sinadya pa talaga galing Cavite. Again, we don’t like the idea of back-and-forth shipping. The same suggestion was made – to mail the watches to their main office directly. The MOA official G-Shock store does not do battery replacement, drop and pick-up option is also no longer offered. Since he doesn’t have time to go to Manila before flying back to Cebu, he requested his brother to bring the watches to the G-Shock store in SM Mall of Asia for servicing. Then just last June 2022 my husband needed to go home to Laguna, he brought with him the non-working watches. Anyhow, so we put off the plans of changing the battery on the watches for a while. We did not like this suggestion for many reasons. They said that it’s not possible but that we can ship it ourselves to G-Shocks’ headquarters in Manila shipping fee to and fro will be at our expense. We asked if we can bring the watches to them and have them sent the same to their main office, then we will just pick-up the items on their store once they’re back. ‘Is there an authorized service center in Cebu that can change the battery on the GShock properly?’ Unfortunately, they don’t have that at the store. We asked ‘why’? They said that there is a special equipment to ensure proper opening, closing, and re-sealing of the G-Shock. ‘May chance na mapasukan ng tubig’ if we proceed with the ‘regular’ way. They offer that they can still replace the battery, but the integrity of the water resistance / waterproof feature might be compromised.
Per the staff, they do not have the proper tools to replace the batteries on the G-Shock and Baby-G. We went to Time Depot store in SM City Cebu expecting that they will be able to service our G Shock, since they are an official distributor and it’s where we bought some of our GShocks, but alas they can’t. It turns out, it’s challenging to get the batteries replaced properly. At the height of the pandemic, three of our G-Shocks and a Baby-G watch need battery replacement.
