Casio GW300 (2608) battery replacement

Yeup! I have the same watch and I had the battery replaced. Now it shuts off after about an hour of use and resets. The screen goes blank and then it will turn on when ever it decides to wake up and then the time is totally wrong. It worked great for about 2 years. As for paying the company $65.00 to fix it... And the Watch brand new went for $79.00 at Wal-Mart... Well at that price, I'll use it for target practice and go by a Timex Atomic Watch for about $20 and let them replace the battery every year or so for less than $5.00 and not have to deal with the hassle of something that continually malfunctions and causes me irritation. Much cheaper, and more dependable!

the battery of my casio 2608 g-shock too ran out. i think casio is blatantly misrepresenting its watch as solar powered. it may be technically accurate but as a consumer, i take it to mean that it recharges the battery. so i sent my watch in to casio's california service center called Time Machine. it took them 6 weeks to replace the battery and charged me $65. i think casio should be investigated for false claims or the subject of a class-action suit.

me too. anybody know how to get it to hold a charge? I left mine in the sun for 4 days and the battery has only lasted one day after that

Me too. Mine will charge if left in the sun, but loses it's charge in about 1 day
