The white and red Rangeman are fire. Also the yellow gwg1000 and the red gpw. Ugh so many great watches.
I'm a sucker for colors. Orange, yellow, green. Awesome dude
You and I both!
Great topic Chavo...Most of my G-Shocks are solar, one subtle thing to note if charging watches in a watch box like you did is to make sure the case lid is open to avoid excessive heat from generating in the case which can actually lead to battery cell damage, any passing breeze/air current help regulate the watch's temperature. Found this to be relevant regardless of the watch colour or material.
Never thought about that... great point. Thanks for sharing. Would hate if viewers watches overheated. The manual definitely warns people about over exposure to the sun.
On the 40°C day it could fry the Circuit board because of the extreme heat but on a 20°C day go for it as long as you want that’s my personal advice to you original outdoor sunlight exposure without being filtered by a window frame is recommended after all I know thank you for telling me that this year and beyond
Can you review the Gw-A1100? Also I noticed my second hand stops rotating after thirty seconds when using the stop watch. Does it’s have that issue?
those riseman watches are lit! ❤🔥
Hey man. Do you change the batteries os your gshock? Or do you take ir to a “professional”?
I need ur whole collection 😂😂🔥🔥
Where do u get these cases for the watches.
I want the mudmaster with the yellow band. Good video.
That's my watch. 🙂
Hy... I have a g-shock GBD h1000 with solar charger and I want to ask you if you know that when he is charge on the sun IT show something on The watch screen.
what a nice collection you have 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Very late to the party here 😂 but I found 2 solars in a box and placed them by the window overnight and the displays have come on with charge flashing on both but I can’t use the buttons, is that normal?
My watch is charging right now it shows "CHG" flashing . When I tried to set the date the incorrect day of the week shows up. Is that because it's charging why the correct date can't be set?
Any tips are appreciated just subscribed to your channel. Have a great day dope G shock collection ✌🏾
I'm in Finland. It's cloudy gloomy 20 hours a day. How do I charge it? Thank you
I put my watch for days still chg but not opening what to do I also changed the baterry
What is the model of the yellow square g shock?
I just charged my new full metal gmw5000 using 2 throwers flashlights. It was much faster then the estimated time to charge using the Sun.
Awesome collection...
Hello all, hopefully someone here can help me out with this.. @2:33 on the video here the watch the silver watch that is on the left side of the screen that shows a FR 1. 1 on the watch screen. Could anyone give me some insight of what that means...do I just need more sun exposure.. I just got the watch and it still won't turn on after a few hours of sunlight
Is this a white rangman?
Its lcd serves as the solar panel to charge the battery
You can put your watch in a glass of water, for cooling, and place it in the sunlight outside the whole day. The more natural thing would be to just wear it while bicycling or hiking.
On average, how many minutes did it take to charge the hours?
I have panda one which was just sitting in my drawer and been dead for 2+ years. I took it outside and was instantly alive after 40 seconds (i did count lol). However, while the screen is now on, i am unable to do anything like set the time, the light doesn’t even work while the CHG is blinking. Does that mean it needs more charge?
Thanks for sharing
Damn bro. I’m jealous of your collection! But I have one that you haven’t got. The GPW-2000!
OK if you live in california
Nice watches sir
That’s a bad ass collection man! Hope you lock up those thousands of dollars when the maids come to clean hahaha!
I got hands on my brand New G shock Mudmaster GSG- 100 last week...
I keep it in solar charge untill it gets HIGH and then keep it in my room where some amount of light enters the room from outside...
But I see it gets to Medium by evening without any use...
Is this normal?
No
That is normal, when indicator just turn into high, it doesn't mean it is fully charge, depending on your module. Check your manual book for example, my GX-56BB needs to charge 90 hours when expose to direct sunlight to reach high and may need additional 2 days to fully charge
So I have a pulsar 4000 diver watch from like 11 years ago. It was my dads watch, and I've tried to charge it the last few days but it doesn't seem to hold charge at all. I've found that I needed to have the crown in the second position so it doesn't tick while charging, and I also have been doing it through a window. But even still its summer solstice and it shoukd have gotten at least some charge. It will tick until I go inside, as soon as I leave the sun it stops like it can't hold any charge at all. I'm not sure if I just need to keep it off and try again in direct sunlight? Or go to a jeweler and have them replace the battery. This watch is kind of important to me so any help or advice would be appreciated.
yes it would need a battery/capacitor change
Hi!
It needs a capacitor.Good luck!
I just bought the GA B2100, it’s showing on M and if i connect to the phone it shows 2 bars.
I tried to put the watch under my bedside table lamp overnight, nothing change both in the watch and on the phone.
Then i tried to put it just beside the window, so it can absorb the light from the sun. After half a day it’s still showing M and 2 bars (out of 5)
So is that something wrong with my watch? Or is there any step to put it in charging mode? How long is it supposed to charged?
I have a similar issue. Someone please help
@@BestEyeEvaHad Hi Josh, mine’s fully charged after i put it under bedside table lamp for 5 night. It shows full now and never drop since then.
Artificial light from a bedside lamp is not very bright. You must expose it to full sunlight. Solar modules only generate decent voltage in real sunlight.
Ilove this watch can i have this one
once fully charged don't these last years? how did u manage to drain the batteries of all these watches ?
From a full charge, the cell will last roughly 9 months, without any sun exposure, while using the backlight and alarm once per day. With normal sun exposure, the watch will pretty much never die. Who spends 9 months in complete darkness? If you store it for over nine months, just put it in the sun for 35 minutes before using it and it will be alive.
@@KevAlberta thanks
You have gw 6900 rd..
bad idea putting them directly in sunlight for a long time, this could fry the internals due to heat. The best way is to use a cool light white LED light and charge them in door.
i put my casio tough solar directly under sunlight, using for 4 years, no problem till now
In a dashboard of a hot car bad idea actually if it’s directly outside in direct airflow it will cool down it’s a intensity of outdoor natural lighting and efficiency actually full blast direct sunlight maximum efficiency of the charge that you receive from outdoor natural lighting via solar panel conversion outdoor sunlight full blast unfiltered by windows 50,000 lux but you’re right about the precautions not in the desert but non-desert environments like the Caribbean so it’s fine go for it
Tough solar panel is designed for full sunlight blast overall but not the interior workings that can get damaged but not the solar panel it depends how hot it is outside for example 35°C or hotter The hotter the temperature the more risk of damaging it
I put my watch under sunshine till 12 hours,it came back and working
LED lamps work great
Man, how many wrist do u have? Lol. Cool collection!
Not enough😂
Do they charge from lightbulbs too?
Yes. At least my full metal gmw5000. But if you use a thrower flashlight it will charge much faster then from the Sun or a lightbulb. Use common sense, not to get the watch or the flashlight warm. I used 2 flashlights on medium, at 10-15 cm.
Does it means that you never will need tô change batteries of the solar g shocks?
It's depend on how you treat your own Tough Solar G- Shock. Mostly the Tough Solar type G Shock can survive for about 10 years with proper care and daily use with much exposure to the natural sunlight or any light source.
Is it okay to expose them under direct sunlight for 3 hours straight?
What brand are those watch cases?
Casio :)
@@LifanToThePast They mean the watch box not the watches themselves.
Nice sotc
You should buy some more G-Shocks.
Awesome video! I just sent you an email!
Does it mean people don't know how to place their wrist watch under the sun?
Can’t wear them all lol
@@GiShockGo but you can try😂
My watch just reached the halfway point on the battery scale. Now I want to know how to properly charge it. Haha. I have a Casio model.
Man, how many watches does someone need?
I suggest if possible dont charge directly to the sun as it will damage the solar panel.
Just put those in the bucket and fill it with the clean water and you ready to go
I have you beat .I have over two hundred G Shock watches . I worked for Casio for 10 years .Nice collection.
kind of regret buying a solar watch ... quite hard to stay on high
Yes sir...
Love the frogman 🐸. If you want to sell it please let me know.
Which one?
Purple with red frogman.
Gosh I only have one G Shock 😢
You need at least 3 lol
At least you have one G shock, all I have is one Casio F91W ☺️
Led Lights will charge them too 10,000 K
