FAQs

What does the "three-eye" display signify?

The "three-eye" refers to the three smaller digital sub-displays on the watch face, which are characteristic of the DW-5900 series and provide additional information like stopwatch minutes, seconds, and elapsed seconds.

Is this watch suitable for professional diving?

While it has a 200m water resistance rating, it is not designed as a professional dive computer. It is suitable for recreational diving and general water activities but lacks advanced dive-specific features.

How long does the battery typically last?

G-SHOCK watches are known for their long battery life. The DW-5900U-1ER is expected to have a battery life of approximately 2-3 years under normal usage conditions.

Can I change the watch band?

Yes, the resin band can typically be replaced. However, it's recommended to use genuine G-SHOCK replacement bands and ensure proper installation to maintain water resistance.

What is the warranty period for this watch?

G-SHOCK watches typically come with a manufacturer's warranty. Please refer to the warranty card included with your purchase or the official G-SHOCK website for the specific warranty duration and terms applicable to your region.

Does this watch have a stopwatch and timer function?

Yes, the DW-5900U-1ER includes standard stopwatch and countdown timer functions, accessible through its digital interface.

Troubleshooting

Watch is not keeping accurate time.

Ensure the time and date settings are correct. If the issue persists, the battery may need replacement. Contact customer support for assistance.

Backlight is dim or not working.

Verify that the battery is not low. If the battery is strong, there might be an issue with the LED module. Contact customer support.

Buttons are difficult to press or unresponsive.

Clean around the buttons with a soft brush to remove any debris. Ensure no external obstruction is preventing button movement. If problems persist, seek professional servicing.

Watch fogs up on the inside.

This may indicate a breach in water resistance, possibly due to a damaged gasket or improper button operation underwater. Remove the watch immediately from water and have it inspected by a professional.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Out of the box, the DW-5900U-1ER is ready for basic timekeeping. To set the time and date:

  1. Press the top-left button to enter setting mode.
  2. Use the top-right and bottom-right buttons to adjust the flashing digits (seconds, hours, minutes, year, month, day).
  3. Press the bottom-left button to confirm and move to the next setting.
  4. Press the top-left button to exit setting mode once complete.

Consult the full G-SHOCK manual for detailed instructions on setting alarms, stopwatch, and timer functions.

Compatibility:

This is a standalone digital watch and does not require compatibility with smartphones or other devices for its core functions. It operates independently.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean the resin band and case with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the resin. For tougher grime, use mild soap and water, then rinse thoroughly and dry.
  • Water Resistance: While rated for 200m water resistance, avoid operating buttons underwater. For prolonged water exposure or diving, ensure the case back is securely fastened and gaskets are in good condition. Have seals checked periodically by a professional if the watch is frequently exposed to harsh water conditions.
  • Battery: The watch is powered by a long-lasting battery. Replacement should be done by a qualified watch technician to maintain water resistance.
