[Modify]How to attach replace G-SHOCK band to casio digital watch

I like “Square G-SHOCK” more than any other watch.

G-SHOCK is easy to use not only the watch body but also the band, and it is cool.

I attached this band to that Casio standard.

Casio collection watches that you will be interested in if you like “square G-SHOCK”

Casio standard digital wristwatch, W-218H.

This is W-218H-1AV

This watch is a Casio Standard (commonly known as Cheap Casio) watch, but it is a very good watch that you can see from the appearance that it uses the phantom model G-SHOCK DW-5300 as a motif.

It takes some ingenuity to attach a G-SHOCK band

With G-SHOCK so far, it’s a shame about that’s band.

The band is thin and unreliable.

It’s kind of thin and fluffy. Unreliable.
This is light and easy to put on what is not bad.

Then , can you attach the “Metal Core Band” and “Resin Composite Band” of G-SHOCK?

From the conclusion, it can be installed, but it requires some ingenuity.

I usually use it, but it looks a little strange.

Casio Standard and G-SHOCK bandwidth

The width of the base of the band is different between G-SHOCK and Casio Collection.

Cheap Casio is 18mm

G-SHOCK is 16mm

G-SHOCK is rugged but smaller, isn’t it?

So, if you attach the G-SHOCK band as it is …

There is a gap and you can see the “spring bar” of the watch which is very uncool.

For this reason, some ingenuity is required to attach it.

How to attach

What you need to prepare is a “durable rubber tube” .

I think the pipe used for wiring etc what is good.

It is a rubber tube like this. Cut this into about 1 mm and prepare four .

You don’t have to worry about the cleanliness of the cut surface, you can’t see it very much.

Here is the result of putting this in between.

The design is a little strange. But the usability is good.

You may hear that some people say why they bother to buy a high-priced G-SHOCK (in this case, buy the GW-B5600BC) and attach a cheap body. But that’s what I’m particular about.

This method costs money which you need to buy two watches.

And it looks a little strange, so I don’t recommend it to everyone.

Impressions from actually using it

I use it every day, but the feeling of use is good .

At first glance, I dreamed of a longing DW-5300 G-SHOCK.

And the band is a fine resin band that is the most comfortable to wear.

Practicality is the highest.

Also, with some ingenuity, the G-SHOCK band can be used.

I like oranges, but this is also possible.

The left is “Modified W-218H with fine resin band(What came with GW-B5600BC)”

The right is “Modified GW-M5600 with metal core band(What came with GW-M5610BC)”

Both are very comfortable to use.

W-218H is considerably cheaper than the G-SHOCK, so why not buy it?

I will recommende you .
