G-Shock Mid-Size S Series GMDS5600CT-3D
Introducing G-SHOCK timepieces as nature-minded as you, made with renewable materials and a focus on sustainability.
We begin with the iconic shape of the GMD-S5600, but in a smaller, slimmer design. Then, we make the key resin components with bio-based resin produced from renewable organic resources, which are expected to help curb CO2 emissions and reduce environmental impact.
We take the focus on nature to the next level with very special cloth bands that feature the work of two innovators — TRUECOTTON and FOOD TEXTILE — to reduce waste and promote ethical sourcing.
The cloth for the bands is made of traceable organic TRUECOTTON so we know which farm and spinning mill it comes from. This not only helps manage environmental impact, but also ensures workers are protected and craftsmanship is high quality throughout the production process.
The bands are coloured with dyes from FOOD TEXTILE, a project to reuse food that would otherwise be discarded to create natural dyes. Soft, earthy colours are brought to life with dyes made with over 90% natural ingredients. The gentle blue grey hue of the GMD-S5600CT-3 band is achieved with a dye extracted from red turnip, while the GMD-S5600CT-4 band is coloured with a dye extracted from sakura cherry blossoms, for a soft pearl pink colour.
Materials that had been destined for the trash are reborn in a beautiful new form — a sustainable, environmentally friendly watch.

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.
