hi, i bought a gshock g6900-1dr from lazada for 300myr+-

the thing is, the original factory tough solar serial number engraving has another engraving from local supplier over it. hence unable to read the original tough solar engraving.

contacted lazada and the supplier, supplier says its normal and is to provide cheaper price for local warranty only gshock watches.

is the watch genuine? (i own a 8900 tough solar), as for function, this 6900 works has the same feature check.

the world time, dst, auto EL, solar charging i have check and all is working as normal.

anything i should be wary of? or should i return the watch?

please help reply. as it is urgent as i plan to return today if needed.

thank you.

If you tested the solar panel function and it works then it should be genuine but I don't get the part where you says there's another engraving on top of the serial number...can you upload a pic and show us?

Kindly find the picture attach for your perusal. I have return, but unsure if they will reject.
The tough solar is working. Addition to that, auto el works too.
At certain angle, the display seems to be very light colored.

Hmm...
I've never seen such serial number embossing on the back case...
At least won't be in this order BB888888 seems a bit funny...

But as far as I know, solar should not work on replica, and testing it via the 3 button method should be able to indicate if it is a replica...

owh? how to spot if it's a replica with the 3 button method?
yea it's working fine... but i have return.. and planning to purchase another from a store...
or some private sale...
please advise me sifu!!!

by the way, from which seller you got it from ? In future, we can be noted on it...  unsure.gif

it's fulfilled by lazada, so you wont be able to see the seller info. only if there is issue and u contacted lazada, lazada themselves will provide you the seller info.
in the ad listing, warranty is covered locally and you gotta send it directly to the seller, which lazada will provide you when needed.

Pressing the 3 buttons shown in the photos together will make the watch go into solar/tilt test mode, you should see 'SLR' written on the screen, cover the screen and open it again then it should show the number 8888 thumbup.gif

It is working this way on a Rangeman but am not sure if the same way is applied on the G-6900 sweat.gif

yes yes.. found some utube vids and tried it on my old gshock solar.. it works.. there is tilt, solar and multiband test...
thanks for the headup.. now i know how to check a gshock.. feeling like a pro!!! lol!!! jk jk
