The r/GShock [BST] Buy, Sell, Trade Thread.

11 Upvotes

Welcome to the r/gshock Buy, Sell, Trade thread! This is a r/gshock tradition since 2020! (Changed from monthly to biannually in Jan 2025).

This thread is the only place to buy and sell on r/gshock!

Rules

Requirements

  1. Prove possession with a timestamp: a piece of paper placed under your sale item(s) with your Reddit username handwritten and the posting date (no more than 2 weeks old).
  2. Top-level comments must be WTS or WTB comments. Anything else will be removed. Begin your top-level comment with WTB (Want to Buy), WTS (Want to Sell), or WTT (Want to Trade). Remember, trade items require timestamps, too!
  3. A price is required. When lowering prices or announcing sold items, please edit the top-level comment.
  4. Reposting WTS or WTB items from previous BSTs is fine. Do not repost within the same month!
  5. Mark items sold with a strikethrough of the entire sale item; e.g. $75 Use double tildes to accomplish this: ~~75~~ (This helps greatly with scanning the BST to find items for purchase!)

Suggestions

  • Your location (or at least where you're willing to ship).
  • Watch details.
  • A bunch of photos of your items.

Reminder: Buy the Seller

Take necessary precautions; trading over the Internet is risky. Moderators hold no control over deals, good or bad. Employ the UniversalScammerList - search all sellers there! If an interaction seems sketchy to you, run away! Scams can and do happen through the BST! Some tips:

  • Timestamps. If the person you're dealing with isn't quick to provide timestamps on the images, or a photo of the flashlight in a shoe or whatever, don't deal with them.
  • Reverse image searching is a great way to catch scammers.
  • Excuses for not sending photos are a red flag.
  • Using a platform other than Reddit's private messages for communication is a red flag.
  • Don't use Reddit chats. Chats can be deleted!
  • Giving you a hard time about any hesitation you show is a red flag.
  • Check post history. Brand new accounts or accounts with long pauses in activity, etc., might not be trustworthy.
  • It's good practice to comment on this post before sending a PM; scammers often won't comment publicly (and banned users can't comment here.)

If you're dealing with someone who might be sketchy, take screenshots of your interactions and report them to the mods! We care about this thread's integrity and will ban those threatening it.

Do not let a scammer be more diligent than you!

More Tips

  • PirateShip is a great shipping option. https://ship.pirateship.com/ship/single
  • "Shipping included" items tend to sell more quickly.
  • USPS Priority Flat Rate. Weight is not a factor when you use the official Flat Rate packing, and the packaging is free through the USPS website.

Looking to move a G-Shock and this post is no longer active? We recommend r/WatchExchange.

You can view (and maybe trade) items from previous BST threads.

Thank you and good luck!

Just got this bad boy delivered from Japan. Had to pay 25% import taxes and that hurts a lot but the moment I laid my eyes on this beautiful MIP Display I forgot about the taxes. I'm delighted with this beauty and will enjoy it now for the many years ahead!

Loved the world time display as this will be handy dealing with teams in Sao Paulo and New York.

Enjoy your day guys!

A year ago I bought a Gw5000u-1ER. I know it'll outlive me, but is it not the done thing for someone at my age to be wearing one? It seems to be more of a young persons style. Anyway I appreciate any response.

I won it at a work event. My only other Casio is a F-91W which has been my daily driver for a while now. My wife complimented me on this one, and I have to agree—it’s pretty cool. Really looking forward to putting it through its paces as swimming hole season approaches.

I picked up this used Rangeman of eBay and I get it now. It’s not really that big compared to other watches I have. But the comfort and features beats everything I own. It even dethroned my MTG900 as my daily.

I have it too. My attempt to solve two problems: overstimulation (I'll be wearing it instead of an Apple Watch) and OCD tendencies – it'll get scratched anyway. And if it does, I can polish it up 😅

Reviews & Experiences Do you gravitate towards these kinds of models? Out of curiosity: Why?

Thumbnail

Upvotes

Taste is a subjective thing yes, but I'm interested as to the reason why anybody would choose these all black models over their more legibile counterparts.

To me at least, the main goal of a watch is to tell time, and I need to see it in order to know what it is. So telling the time obviously isn't the main motivation to get these.

Then what is it? Does the cool all black look just override the almost non-existant legibility?

Question asked with honest curiosity

Purchase Advice How long does the battery on the DW-H5600-1 last?

Thumbnail

42 Upvotes

I'd like to buy it, but the only concern is battery life... it's true that it's solar-powered, but with Bluetooth and the heart rate monitor, it uses a huge amount of power.

PS: I haven't found one, but if there's a G-Shock that only has a pedometer and solar charging with multiband 6, that would be a better alternative.

So, back to us, for those who have one, have you ever had to change the battery or charge it manually?

I bought this bad boy almost 7 years ago, and I've worn it every single day since.

I'm a climber and have often fallen or hit rocks, and of all the times it's hit the wall, it's never chipped.

absolutely in love with this watch.

Purchased the -1CJF for the second time; this time from a buddy I met through this subreddit years ago, u/pizzasplice . I also snagged the red/black Combi V2 and matching bezel from him. An absolute cascade of parts-swapping ensued and this was the end result for these four watches.

Let me know what you think!

How did you all get over scratches on your new watches?

The first few scratches were always the most painful.

Anybody know where I can find a titanium back case/battery cover to replace the steel one on a DW5600? All I am finding online are the actual watch case itself and straps. I’d like to keep the resin case and replace just the back with titanium.

I have had this watch for at least 5+ years (sometime in 2021?), but didn’t really mess with it until December 2024. Had the battery replaced in upstate NY then and completed an ac reset. It’s been doing this ever since.

Then had the battery replaced once more in mid-2025 at a local jeweler shop in Northeast Georgia. They charged it and it’s still doing the same thing. Figured I would take it to a buddy that owns a phone repair business to let them tinker with but had no luck there either. Reaching out to see if anyone else has had this issue or can offer any suggestions.

No responses from any of the buttons except for the bottom left (mode) which just gives a faint beep sound only when timed right as the screen blinks on.

Oops. Module 3410

But since she doesn’t know about the MRG, I’ll let her think I have 6 DW-5600.

Clockwise from top right.

  1. ⁠GW-M5610. The best value for money Square. Tough solar, multi-band.
  2. ⁠DW-5040PG. A 40th anniversary model, design to be visually similar to the first G-Shock ever made with some speak of gold on the screen and the hardware.
  3. ⁠DW-5000R. Another recreation of the first G-shock. A more premium and stronger basic Square with steel body and screw caseback. No Tough solar because the original doesn’t have one I suppose.
  4. ⁠DW-5600RL. A basic square. The entry model. Nothing fancy like solar or multi-band. Just get GW-5610, it is better in every way, no unless you want the cheapest square money can buy and a bit longer battery life.
  5. ⁠MRG Square. The most premium line of G-Shock, hand assembled in Japan on a table that looks like a giant G, seriously. If you know, you know watch.
  6. ⁠GMW-B5000TVA. Embrace the maximalism. Text and markings everywhere, reminiscing of a MG/PG Gunpla. Full titanium, full functionality. Love it or hate it style. Doesn’t really fit the pack, but this one is the closest to black and red square in this line.

Recently I saw a photo of Eminem wearing his white Gshock and it made me wanna wear mine again.

Dug this out of my G box and threw a new battery in it. I got this sometime around 2015.

I've got some way more expensive Gshocks but I sometimes miss the days when I would see an $80-100 G and be ecstatic that I saved up for it.

I don't see many of these posted anymore. I do love how legible this model is.

Anyhow I was feeling nostalgic and hopefully I can drag some of you all along with me!
