It took several attempts (with gentle force on the table/wooden floor/mouse pad) - but in the end it worked. After the first attempt the minute hand has improved from fixed to 15 minutes of movement - after two more attempts the clock is now fully functional again (for 4 days now) Great, thank you very much for sharing this valuable tip!
My GA-2100BP had this issue and I was in absolute awe that just hitting the watch on the table would make the hands move again. This was a huge help, thanks!
Thanks dude, this was such an easy fix to an infuriating problem. Nice to know that in this high tech world there are still some things you can fix the old way....with a beating 😂.
I was considering to sell my GG-B100. The hands were stuck when I was trying to align them. I slammed the watch on a mouse pad and indeed the hands got unstucked and I was able to adjust them. Thanks for the tip!
I can't believe it. This saved my Casio GW-2500B! It was laying around for some years, now the time handy were stuck, a gentle slam on the desk, immidiatly working!
Thank you very much for posting this video. My G-Shock is a different model, the analog hands were stuck just like yours. I know it was near a magnet, I have been resetting it several times but this time I was ready to send it back for warranty. This simple trick worked like a charm. I appreciate you
You the man! New to me GR-B200, hour and minute hands were stuck at 9:51, tried the hand set adjustment, tried an AC reset, tried everything and nothing worked. Dropped it about a foot and a half onto some bubble wrap on a table and the hands immediately shifted and was able to do a hand set. Thanks!
I'm soooo glad I took time to watch this! Was actually losing hope after watching several videos to sync it. I knew there's something wrong with the long and short dial coz it doesn't move no matter how hard I push the upper right and lower right button of my GG-1000 Mudmaster. The seconds dial was moving tho... I tried hitting it face down on the floor while on H-SET mode & tried to adjust if the dial will move... and surprisingly, it did after a few attempts.. Thank you for this video. At first, I thought this was a weird solution.. but it was actually THE solution. :)
Unbelievable this video solved my problem, i have a GA-700 and nothing would work, but when i “gently tapped” to the ground i got on the hard reset it was simple as always. Thank you for sharing😂
If you have to slam down the watch to make it work this should mean there could be a gear jam from wear. As you said, since the gears are made with metal and are very sensitive, a magnetic field could make the watch not work properly. I would have tried a watch demagnetizer first before slamming it down. I have some mechanical/automatic watches. Because I am working with tablets and smart phones they do get magnetized. When these watches get magnetized they tend to run a bit fast. Properly using the demagnetizer fixes them. I had Casio watches where the compass started to not work properly. Demagnetizing the watch and re-calibration of the compass fixed it. Just recently I had a GG-1000 Casio watch stop working after about three years. The hands started to go out of sync to each other, but were moving. I called the Canadian service for this watch. They told me to send in the watch to them. After they received it they told me there was a failure in the module with one of the motors that drive the hands. They told me they must change the complete module. I approved to fix it. I have it back now and it is perfect!
thank you sir!!! after dismantling my watch and done cleaning. when all are done and i tried to setting up for the time i found out that the hands are not moving. this is very helpful. more power to you sir ☺️
Omg!! You save me. I thought I need to buy a new watch. Or at least the cost of the repair would cost half of the new watch and might as well buy a new one. Your method it works. Thank you thank you. If you have patron I ll send you a little something. Thank you so much.
OMG! it actually worked 😂, i opened my GA 110 to check if something came loose when replacing the battery, but closed it up and banged it on the table and the hands are moving, cheers mate.
Wow - this actually works. My analogue world time hands were stuck and slamming the watch on a hard back notebook a few times got them moving. Thanks so much for the tip!!
This worked for me. Minute and hour hands were stuck. I had tried this method months ago without success but I think I was afraid to whack the watch hard enough. After several months I figured: What's the risk? -Either it would work or I would be replacing the module or watch anyway. I put a pad of paper on my dresser and gave the watch several good whacks against it. After the third hit, the hands began moving. After about 30 minutes, I noticed the hands had stopped moving. I gave it another whack and violà! Movement! I immediately performed the calibration procedure and so far the watch has been working correctly.
Thanks a lot. It really work... The repairman said that I need it to replace the Machine inside my watch.. So he recommended to buy a New watch.. Incredible...my watch is now working fine.. Digital and analog...thanks a lot
Was very skeptical at first but this actually worked🎉🎉🎉 thanks for saving me $$$ on a new watch😂😂😂😂😂 I smashed mine on to my palm -- so it won't scratch -- and voila..! Worked like magic! Thanks man👊
I have a GG 1000 and the seconds hand is moving normal but not the minutes and hours hands. I replaced the battery thinking that was the problem, but nothing happened. I’m gonna try what you did hopping for a good result. Thanks for the video.
@@edwardjski yes it did! , I hit it face down on a table, I put a cloth on top of it and that was it, I believe I hit it a couple of times and it did work, it’s been flawless since then. Remember this watches are shock proof so don’t worry about damaging anything.
@@menjivar76 I was skeptical. I had tried this a while back without success but after reading your reply, when I got home today, I tried it. I whacked the watch against my dresser (using a pad of paper to slightly cushion the blow and protect the surface of the dresser. (I think previously I was afraid to hit it hard enough.) After three hits, the hands MOVED! I set the time and calibrated the hands all is well. I had just about given up hope.
@@edwardjski glad it works !!, like I mentioned before my watch is been flawless since then, it’s about 8 months ago when I have the problem, I have more G Shock’s, different models and not issues with those, only this one in particular, is my favorite and I thought was the biting it gets, I ride dirt bikes and I was thinking the vibration was the problem , but after seeing this guy’s video I’m convinced is manufacturer’s issue .
Just a heads up its not just that model also happens to a g700 series also for some reason it broke but wasnt exposed to metal and i kept it in my g shock metal box. Only reason i can find is just daily use and a lot of shaking the watch.
Thank you so much for posting this information. This saved me a lot of time and headaches. I had to “bang” it down two to three times but it worked perfectly 💪🏻👍🏼
I have a GA1000 that has exactly this problem. I've been hitting it on a magazine on a table and no luck. Any hints? I was about to trash the watch. This post gave me hope that it might be saved. I keep hoping to get this method to work. No luck so far. Do you do it in any special mode? My second hand moves to zero when I go into H.SET, but after pressing MODE (D) to select hour and minute hand setting, I do get 0:00 in the lower display, but no luck adjusting them using B and E buttons. Knowing that a lot of you succeeded by hitting the watch on a flat surface is making this even 😮💨 more frustrating. This may have happened after a new battery install. Did others have this happen after new battery?
Same thing happened to my compass button. I went running and i couldn't reset the stop watch. I tried everything to make the button work. This morning my mudmaster fell on the bathroom floor on accident and wala! The compass button worked again. So next time my mudmaster has any issues i'll just throw the damn thing and it'll fix the problem. It really is "one hell of a watch".
Hello, I’ve got some different problem. The hour and minute hands get stuck again work... when I try to reset.... it stuck too much when hands are moving in backward direct when resetting. And sometimes when moving in forward direction.... kindly help
I have a mud resist that completely stopped working. I sent yhe watch to Casio and they sent a list of all internal parts that were either missing or broke. The watch has never been opened but the reply was too bad its out of warranty and if you want the watch back you have to pat for us to return it. Really disappointed
I have a GA-1000 and tried it, it didn't work. But then again this method did seem a bit unlikely to suceed; G Shocks are meant to be shock proof after all, and a mild slam won't do much to one.
I'm taking a shot in the dark here but, is there a possibility these watches are counterfeit? I've noticed a lot of reviews online that state, the watches having this issue were fakes. As I said, I'm not making a blind assumption, just a possibility.
@Erik Talks I have the same watch an find the strap the watch comes with a very uncomfortable but I see your useing a different strap the nato strap an I see your not useing any adapters so how did you get the strap to fit without any adapters?
I just took apart the original strap because it is 2 pieces and only used the top parts (the hoops) and passed the nato strap thru the holes, it is super simple I showed how i Did it on my review of this watch
This is gonna sound BIZARRE but have you ever noticed when looking at you information window at the 6 O'Clock position for what ever reason there's a hand in the way??? My luck is so bad if I look at the information window for what ever reason 10 times 9 of them will have the second hand obscuring the window and for that reason I'm getting rid of mine 😭😭😭😭😭
Sorry to hear that, as you can see from the other comments It seems to fix the problem most of the times, I hope you can get it fixed, is it a ggb100 that you are dealing with?

Brilliant! GWG 1000 minute hand stopped moving. Who would have thought slamming it on the counter would fix it. Working again!!
GA1100 here. I am just shocked that it started working
G-Shocks have an antimagnetic structure. So I really doubt that was the cause. Glad you got it to work etherway.
thanks for your comment, I had no idea, now I'm really wondering what could've happen 🤔🤔🤔
Thanks for the video, I've just tried giving my GA 400 a wack. Worked like a charm 👍
It does work.. Try it. Nothing to loose
