Do G-Shock last forever?

G Shock watches are known to last a lifetime, but the bands wear out after prolonged use. To replace them, place the watch facing downwards on a soft cloth, unhook the spring bars located at the base of each strap. Some models have the bars covered while others are exposed.

What to do with Broken Watches?

G Shock Battery Replacement

G Shock battery life ranges from two to six years, depending on how often you use the alarm or the backlight. Frequent use of either feature drains the battery pretty fast hence, the need for replacement. The life of the replacement battery, on the other hand, depends on how long it has been sitting on the shelf. Its shelf life is ten years in room temperature after which it goes through gradual degradation.

G Shock Strap Replacement

G Shock watches are known to last a lifetime, but the bands wear out after prolonged use. To replace them, place the watch facing downwards on a soft cloth, unhook the spring bars located at the base of each strap. Some models have the bars covered while others are exposed. Use a spring-bar removal tool to unhook and pull the band away from the watch. Repeat the process to remove the other spring bar. Replace them with the rod slots of the new band and use the spring-bar tool to fasten the bands. The procedure applies when replacing rubber straps. Metallic bands require a little tact hence, the need to engage a professional.

Watch Glass Replacement

A scratched watch glass can be annoying, especially for people who are overly attached to their G Shock watches. Some scratches can be repaired while others require replacements. Please contact us for more information.

Can a magnet find a key?

Whether or not your car key is magnetic depends largely on the metals it's made from—only keys with iron, steel, or nickel in them will react to magnets, and even steel keys aren't always magnetic depending on how they're manufactured.

Sorry to hear about your keys! Whether or not your car key is magnetic depends largely on the metals it’s made from—only keys with iron, steel, or nickel in them will react to magnets, and even steel keys aren’t always magnetic depending on how they’re manufactured. Brass car keys, on the other hand, are never magnetic—the same goes for silver and silver alloys. Unfortunately, nickel is often mixed with silver, so depending on the ratio, your nickel key may hardly be magnetic either. It’s honestly about 50/50 whether your car key is magnetic or not, so it’s always best to test it before you actually need to know. If it’s a remote key or key fob that you’ve lost, there is almost no chance that they are magnetic, so you’ll need to find another way to reach them. A bent paperclip formed into a hook-shape tied to a string may work, as you should be able to catch the O-ring that most key fobs have attached to them.

Hope this helps!

Losing your car keys can be a hassle—finding the right car insurance shouldn’t be. Licensed car insurance super app Jerry makes finding affordable rates easier than ever, without forcing you to sacrifice on coverage or slog through hours of tedious paperwork.
