It's one of the two G-Shock stores in Japan. The other being Fukuoka.

Yes it's pricier in the G-Shock stores. I was there and I said why not and bought one.

Hey man, do you know how much does the battery of G-300 costs? Those watch shop fellas said that its not solar powered. But the thing is, it is. As the digital numbers pulse up when it is rays with direct sunlight.
And they said solar batteries for G-Shock is usually 100-200 bucks. Is it true? In that case I'd rather buy a new one instead lol. Since I bought for around 300 only.

From Casio's specs, the G-300 is not a Tough Solar watch and it uses two SR927W.(Link) I'm not sure how much is the battery but I wouldn't pay more than RM10 for one, considering the usual CR2016, CR2025 and CR2032 are about RM5 for one (Maxell brand).

With regards to solar batteries, I'm fortunate that I've only had two that gone bad. One was my very old Raysman that uses ML-2020. I've tried to look for a replacement in Klang Valley but could never find one. I gave up and just used a normal non-rechargeable battery. I think it's close to impossible to find one here.

The other one was a GW-200 Frogman I have. For that, I sent it to Marco and they changed the battery for me. I'm not too sure what battery they replaced (because the normal CR batteries will work as well, like the one I have with my Raysman, even the charging part. The meter drops, put it under the sun it charges, Full Auto EL light works). I haven't gotten the chance to open it up (too busy) to check what battery they replaced for me. They charged RM50 or so for it.

I see... Thank you for such informative reply smile.gif
Seems like your watches' battery literally last for a century haha
Anyway, is it advisable to change at normal watch shops like City Chain or so? Since its just a normal G-Shock.

I usually change them myself. Watch shops charges too much for a simple battery change. However, if you don't mind paying, I don't see why can't you change at the shop.

Hi bro,

Your Frogman GW-200 Series, except GW-201N Carbon Fiber or Snake Killer is using ML2016 rechargeable battery. For GW-201 Series is using normal CR2016 batteries.

i dont see any reason why it wont.
and wouldnt it make more sense / cost effective to buy the model on steel band, then only buy resin band later?
unless the colorway of the resin band model is what u prefer.

Carbon Fiber or Snake Killer are the only GW-200 series that's not Tough Solar but it uses a rechargeable battery? The other GW-200 are Tough Solar but they use normal CR batteries? You sure?

I've never opened up any of my Tough Solar GW-200 series Frogman because they don't need opening up. Maybe I will just to see what battery they replaced. tongue.gif

My concern is regarding the adjust-ability of the metal band, I have really slim wrist so I am afraid that it won't fit even if I adjusted it cry.gif but is it true that the all the links in the metal band is removable?

Yup. GW-201 series is battery powered. Casio using module from DW-8200 and put it on GW-2XX casing.

Remember, not all GW-2XX models are Tough Solar. Try key in GW-201 at Google search, you will be surprised...

cheers,

To analog digital owner , do you guys found that it is hard to see the time at dim situation because of the led light ? I am going to own a GA series but some of the review shows that it is hard to look at the time at dim situation. Thanks
