 Casio AQ-450G Ana-Digi Watch (Module 315)  11/5/2023 Updated 10/102023  Hello Casio watch enthusiasts from around the World. I hope you are all well. I have, just won this vintage AQ-450G from auction and is here. It looks awesome and feels substantial on the wrist. The battery is almost flat and the mechanical hands stopped working. I hope this is simply a battery fault.  As I stated, the watch looks in excellent condition for a watch of more than 25 years old. The case, strap, display's and glass have minimal marks of which I am very happy about.   I love the way the strap sweeps up right to the surface face of the watch and the square design buttons that need a good clean.  My only worry is the mechanical workings of the watch and with that in mind, I need to replace the battery as a matter of urgency. As usual, I will remove the strap to expose the watch back clip.  With the strap removed, I quickly removed the back of the watch so I could re...

Casio MQA-100G (Module 333) Re-case 18/3/2023 Hello Casio watch enthusiasts from around the world, I hope you are all well! Back in February, I wrote a post about a rare watch I had bought second hand from an auction site. The watch is an MQA-100G and in the add it said the watch only needed a new battery. I placed a bid of £10 and luckily won the watch. The next images are from the actual advert.   and and and The watch looked very grubby, yet I could see no actual scratches on the glass, case or strap and I thought I would take a little gamble. As I said, I won the watch for £10 (plus £3.65 delivery) and I ordered a battery immediately. A couple of days later, the watch arrived and also the new battery I had ordered. Happy days I thought. So, as soon as I had time, I removed the strap and removed the case back.  I then removed the old battery and all my hopes dreams of a rare and cheap Casio were shattered. The old battery must have been in there a long time and it had ...

Casio Watch F-91W Battery Change  (Module 593)  Hello fellow Casio enthusiasts from around the World. I hope you are all well. As the title suggests, I will be replacing the battery on my son's F-91W. He has had the watch from new and it is coming up to 6 years old. It's in excellent condition considering he has owned it since he was only 8 years old and worn it everyday since for school. The display is starting to fade, so it's high time I replaced the battery with a brand new one. The watch uses one CR2016 button cell, which cost me £3.50 (including delivery) for two cells and they are Duracell so a decent battery. I bought two as it's always handy to have new cells in hand if ever   required. Now that batteries have been delivered, it's time to get started. I know I should have removed the strap but it simply wouldn't budge from it's position and I didn't want to damage the watch as it is only plastic. I therefore left the strap attached to the watch ...

 Casio G-Shock GWM-5600-1AER Battery/Capacitor Change (Module 3063) 19/4/2023 Hello fellow Casio watch enthusiasts from around the World. I hope you are all well. As the title suggests, I will be replacing the battery on my almost 15 year old Casio G-Shock GWM-5600. I have owned the watch from new and it was a present from my wife for my 40th Birthday. I believe this watch was replaced with the 6 Band GWM-5610 some time ago making this watch model somewhat collectable, as are many other Casio models. Although the watch has no real value, it has a lot of sentimental value to myself and I have loved this watch from day one. However, over the last couple of weeks I have noticed that the battery level indicator was on the medium level for the first time in almost 15 years. After that I put the watch in front of my DIY infra red and ultra violet light for a couple of hours with no change. I then put it in direct sunlight for a full afternoon, but again no change to the battery indicator...
