Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Upon first use, expose the watch face to bright light to ensure it is sufficiently charged by its solar power system. The watch will automatically attempt to receive time calibration signals daily (radio control) to set the correct time. For initial setup or to synchronize time manually, you can use the Bluetooth connectivity feature to link with your smartphone via the G-Shock Connected app. Follow the in-app instructions to pair your watch and configure settings like world time, alarms, and sensor calibrations.
Compatibility
Bluetooth connectivity is compatible with most modern smartphones running iOS or Android. Ensure your device meets the minimum operating system requirements specified by the G-Shock Connected app.
Care
- Cleaning: After exposure to mud, dirt, or saltwater, rinse the watch with fresh water and wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use chemical cleaners or solvents.
- Charging: To maintain optimal battery charge, periodically expose the watch to bright light. Avoid prolonged storage in dark places.
- Water Resistance: While rated for 200 meters, avoid operating buttons underwater unless specified for specific water activities. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any water exposure.
- Storage: Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight to prolong its lifespan.
