- I found some replacement crystals for Gshock, but there wasn't much by way of videos on how to do the swap, so I made one!

ha ha thanks for the shout Out homie.
Two other tips...
1) make sure the orientation of the crystal is correct. The adjust button is typically shorter than the 3 other ones. Make sure it doesn't end up at the "Light" location ;o)
2) You can use just a bit of heat to soften the adhesive gasket that is between the case and the glass when removing and re-installing the crystal. Just don't use too much as it can damage the graphics on the crystal.
Thanks for the tips! So first time I did this, ii totally put the crystal in upside down in regards to the adjust button! I just switched buttons rather than redo the crystal.
@@ChillinwitWatches ha ha I probably would have done the same but those those little c-clips can be a bitch if you’re not careful
do they have anti reflective crystals for the casio oak?
@@ChillinwitWatcheshow thick is the crystal? I need to change mine G-5600UI 1
An easy way to tell if its actually Sapphire, Crystal it requires 2 watches at room temp place both glass on your forehead which and within 10ish seconds if one stays ice cold that is sapphire. Mineral crystal warms up pretty quickly
That's how I do it all the time, the sapphire feels almost ice cold to the forehead... this is great when you have so many watches that you forget which ones have it and which ones don't.
@8:30 they are sapphire brand, mineral crystal...LOL cool vid Pete
I have no intention of trying anything like this,especially to a gshock. But I always like your diy videos. Also chuckled at the blooper. 😂
That green Jelly looks good. Thanks Pete.
Nice great change! Do you know where to get saphire replacement crystals?
Please more of this content 🔥
You got it!!!
Great video, def something to think about when the stock crystal gets scratched, both watches look great
where do you buy a replacement sapphire crystal? link?
No link in the description...
You are the man Pete ! You be chillin
Cool mod and video - love both of those G Shocks.
DUDE!!! i cant believe it's this easy to change the crystal out, thank you so much for the instructional video!
may i ask, how did you obtain the Pikachu crystal? i'm modding a blacked out 5600 w yellow strap+bezel and that crystal would be the bees knees for it!
ive been googling but can't find anything other than the 25th anniversary model.
thank you in advance for any information, keep making awesome videos too!

Hey, what's the AliExpress link to get one of these glasses?
Great video. Thank you! 🙏
I do have a question about that little spring I hope someone can answer. He mentioned it controls the beeping of the watch. So if we removed it, would the watch become totally silent?
Great videos, so where's the link for the crystals? I got a dope Carbon Fiber Gshock S5600U-1JF, but needs a new front crystal, help good sir!
Thanks man! Should be in the description...
@@ChillinwitWatchesno there's no link
@@ChillinwitWatches There's no link :(
Right on, thank you!
great vid. appreciate you making it. cheers.
Can you send a link to the crystals?
is it still water proof? (stupid question but im as new as you can think in the watches world)
Anyone who knows wich type crystal press tool I need to change the crystal DW5600 ?
So talented and fantastic communicator ......
Great video. I'm also looking to upgrade my 5610 to Sapphire crystal but can't seem to find it anywhere. Can you advise (or link if you're affiliated).... thanks.
Hi! can you demonstrate how to change dw5600 EL? thanks
where ist the link??? can't find it online??
This is sweet 😂 any idea if the green case or dragon ball is still available
Ah found the crystal in your comment response to somebody else, gotta see if I can successfully swap those, and for the cases they’re all like “10 sold” with no reviews and who knows if the shade of green is good 😂
Can anyone figure out how to make the G shock GG1000 5476 solar powered, and get off the dang batteries ? Or anyone that's tried? Great clip
Please. What about with Tough Solar ?
Super helpful
u make great content. Go ahead.
Hey. did the new sapphire crystal come with the dbz decal (sticker), or did you swap that one from the original crystal on the sapphire one? thx for the reply
Where’d you get the crystal
What are the two crystal presses you're using? I'd like to buy them. Thank you!
Did you or will you do a crystal swap of a though solar square?
Is it possible to remove the glass without that jig?
2:55 where do you get that mold at?
I can see this affecting the water resistants if not done properly 😮
Any chance you could link the seller/ product page you got the strap from? Just ordered one on ali and it came in and it’s not even green, more yellow smh!
Are there any of these that work with the solar?
Not that I've seen...
Thank you so much for this video!
Question: do you happen to know the internal width of the rectangular die that used to hold the watch case when pushing the crystal?
I don't, sorry, it was one of the standard ones that came with the press tho.
What if the case has solar panel? Can I do the same?
Cool, cool! 💚💚💚
Where did you find the g-shock crystals?
Ali Ex
@@ChillinwitWatches Specifically for the g5600-9jf and the gw-s5600-1jf. I haven't been able to find either sapphire or mineral.
@@w23847c 😵 I was just thinking all 5600 were the same, I didn't look for any specific models
@@ChillinwitWatchesYou're probably right but when searching ali ex I haven't located any 5600 crystals.
@@w23847c you're right, the ones I got are no longer available. And doing a quick search I don't see any either.
Wait I'm swin wrong, here:

Get a set of tweezers bro...much handy..
Now just can’t find the replacement crystal lol
What is a material of their original crystal? Plastic right?
Mineral glass
@@Feroxylos thx for answer
Nice mod Pete.
No links to the crystal?
Oh, well that was a missed opportunity! I'll add them!!
@@ChillinwitWatches Thanks a lot Pete.
@@ChillinwitWatches Still no link? :( I couldn't find it on Ali.
@@ChillinwitWatcheswhere are the links then???
@@dazerosn7 the ones I originally bought for this on Ali ex are gone. Any link I post would only be temporary. If you search for them on Ali, you'll find them!
Did you use any glue or cement to install the new one? You think it affects the water resistant of the watch if not used any?
I did not add any glue. The only glue they use factory is to hold the glass down, it's not really for wr. and there was most of that glue left on the metal frame when I pushed the new crystal in.
@@ChillinwitWatches Ok thanks for the reply!
@@ChillinwitWatches you think adding some G-S Hypo Cement is a good idea just to be 100% sure I still have these 20bar wr?
@@GiordanoFronte not sure where I'd put the glue and I didn't want to make a mess of it. I wasn't planning on diving with it so didn't care, I'm sure it's fine for the pool
@@GiordanoFronte also I don't think adding glue will help with wr, the factory glue had nothing to do with the seal, only the gasket does.
Very lovely 👍
I want that jig to pop out crystals and glass. I seen them in aliexpress however, quality isn’t probably good
Does it still maintain water resistance?
Probably? I'd have to test it, but I wasn't planning on swimming with it so I haven't yet...
Where did you find the tool to fasten the case when pressing out the crystal?
Sapphire shatters easily am I right?
More easily than mineral or Plexi, but more scratch proof.
Conclusion: when you change crystal on a square G-Shock, case becomes jelly and flashy... weird... 🤪
It is the way
👍💯
Wtf did you call me
