G-Shock Quick Fix #2: How to remove, fix, and reinstall watch button E-clip

I still remember back when I started learning on how to fix my own G-Shock. There're no good helpful guide or video at all regarding this topic.

After years of experience of learning all on my own, here's how I do it. I hope this will be helpful for your future use.

______

Why/When do you need this???

1. There's 2 small O-Ring on your G-Shock that helps with water resistant, like any O-ring, they could get damage over long abuse.

2. Applying a silicone grease on the button shaft or the hole in which it goes in could helps providing better water resistant even on brand new G-Shock.

3. Over time, mud/dirt could get stuck in between the button and case thus causing the button to be stuck or malfunction.

4. Even if there aren't any dirt, sweats or just water could rust the button metal shaft thus causing it to stuck and clean-up or replacement is required.

5. Sometimes the metal panel on the movement could caught in between the E-Clip and case inside surface and damage the clip.

6. Certain casio, protrek, baby-g, edifice would require you to remove the button for bezel/case swap.

7. Basic G-Shock movement swap or conversion in between different series

8. Over time, white fog could be developed on the display between the solar panel and watch crystal. Removing the button is the only way to clean and fix them.

9. If a single side/front resin button is broken or badly scratch/damage from abuse, replacement is needed.

10. Every basic or master of G all the way up to MRG from year 1983 to modern G-Shock today uses the same E-clip construction on every button including their metal cylinder guard. Knowing this basic knowledge is helpful in the long run don't you think?
