Very helpful, thank you. I accidentally stumbled upon this J 40 - screen and have been asking myself about the meaning ever since. Now I have my solution!
Module 3159 identifies the Mode button as C and the Receiving button as D. Your reviews are unsurpassed for their practical knowledge and superb explanations, thank you !
I know im asking the wrong place but does someone know a way to get back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb lost my password. I would love any assistance you can give me!
@Andres King Thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and im trying it out atm. Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@@stampstepper2393 it works great! I modded my 5610 to have the HDR Red straps. The atomic works great, I'm roughly 1000 miles due south of the Denver radio station, but in the metal hangar during work nights it will never sync. The menus are re-organized between the two models, so that is a bit frustrating when I switch between them and expect my stop watch and UTC menus to be the same number of button presses
I was looking for information about solar panel diagnostics and I thought it was worth mentioning: the GW M5610U updated version combined the tilt and solar diagnostics into one button combo. A,C, and B buttons, same as your tilt diagnostic. "C" (bottom left) button to cycle through tilt and solar tests.
Hey! I have G-5600UE-1DR watch and it's module is 3496 according to the backcase and even the module book we get with this watch. But I just did the display test and at the last of it, it shows the module number 3495 and inside the box 002. What does that mean? And what does your watch shows? And
@Manish Kukreja same here I also couldn't understand what that 002 in the upper portion means although it's showing as 3495. And another similarity happened as described by @jbrooks4282 as the SLR and TLT are combined into one shortcut key[ A, B & C]
Your videos have been extremely helpful as I go through my square G journey. Thanks for all these informative videos. One question I have is in the multiband diagnostics screen does it matter what option you select? Or it automatically goes through all the bands? Also on my 3495 if I press the A button in that screen a 1 appears. Any idea what that means?
Yes, I also noticed it on my GW-M5610. If you scroll through different frequencies with bottom left button and then press the LIGHT button (B) it will go into recieving mode. My theory is that you trigger recieving for selected frequency. Pressing B button again will cancel recieving and you will se new letters NG in the box. I triggered recieving for Germany (B 77) and after canceling recieving it showed BNG 77. If I trigger recieving for J40, I got JNG 40 after canceling. If you press A button (when you are in multiband diagnostics) you will see that 1 appears on the left of the screen. If you then press button B it will go into Power Saving mode.
Greg, I now have 3 solar G shocks, 1 non-solar G shock and 1 solar Casio that’s not a G shock (along with 5 other watches!!). Your videos are enjoyable and informative..just curious..are all your G shocks solar?
I think that on Casio's G-Shock GW2500BD-1A analog/digital, radio control, stainless steel bracelet watch, the arrangement of the buttons is that the "C" button (Mode button) is the lower left button and the "D" button (Scroll/Toggle button) is the lower right button, but I'd have to double-check that to verify that.
Just found your channel - already a fan. Curious if you've ever heard of the GW-M5610 having problems not charging beyond a medium charge... and/or having problems charging under artificial lighting?
Interesting video. A little correction. I looked at over 15 Casio manuals and they all refer to the buttons as: A-top left, B-top right, C-bottom left, D-bottom right.
Most G-Shocks have a trimmer screw for adjusting the accuracy, but I don't know if the Bluetooth models have this feature. Losing 1 second per day is out of spec, which is 15 seconds per month (1/2 second per day).
@@garyk4017 Thank you. Will find more info before I try to open it. I just got unlucky picking this watch. If it bluetooth sync is on it syncs 4 times a day so it's ok. I'm just disappointed with the quartz precision.
Greg, did you ever discover why the last screen in the lcd test showed the numbers 3150 in the top right hand box, and 0311 on the main screen? I did the 3 button test after watching a "how to determine a fake" G Shock, and it suggested the module number should show up? Yours is the only video that mentions the numbers that I have on my G Shock? I've searched the net but cannot find an answer?
Since this stuff isn’t mentioned in the user manual AT ALL I can only guess. What I do know is that when I have multiple watches with the same module they all behave the same way when I do this stuff, so I think that’s a pretty good indication that mine are not fakes.
2:50 I have model WVM-120. When I press button A with this J 60 screen a zero appears. Another press button A and the zero disappears. What does that mean? Is it a hidden feature enabling/disabling the radio station?
Good question. The problem I have is that Casio doesn’t tell us about these modes at all, so I can only guess what these things mean. But I haven’t been able to enable nor disable anything by using these button combinations.
That would be cool, but i don't think the watches have the hardver to do that. They probably have just a few hardwired measure circuits and if everything works, then you can get all the information the watch have for you, from the home screen. Note that it is just speculation from my side.
Just to be clear, can you see the “A.EL” in the display during normal operation of the watch? Are you in a dark place when you try to make the light come on automatically by moving your wrist?
