As a classic square watch model, the Casio Gshock GMW-B5000 is a classic square watch. Watch enthusiasts love it for its retro design, durable features, and practical multi-functions.
While its original stainless steel band boasts a premium texture, it tends to show wear and trap dirt after long-term use. Especially during sports or hot weather, the metal material can cause stuffiness and discomfort on the wrist, and may even scratch the skin.
Below is a step-by-step guide to replacing the GMW-B5000’s strap
In contrast, FKM Rubber or Custom Replacement Casio Velcro Strap perfectly solve these issues, offering both comfort and convenience. However, you need some skill to remove the spring bars (including the hollow tube structure) of the original stainless steel band.
Step-by-step guide to installing a new strap on your G-Shock
Tools Preparation
- 2 flathead screwdrivers (usually included with the purchase g shock watch band replacement, or readily available at hardware stores);
- 1 pin punch (used for adjusting some straps, included in most strap sets).
Original Stainless Steel Band Removal Steps
1.1 Each side of the lug has 1 fixing screw at both ends. Position the two flathead screwdrivers against these two screws respectively and keep them steady: use one screwdriver to gently hold one screw in place (to prevent slipping or shifting), and use the other screwdriver to twist the other screw clockwise.
repeat this process for the other screw on the same side to take out both screws on that side. At this point, a “hollow tube” (used to fix the strap and connect the screws) will remain inside the lug. Gently push one end of the hollow tube with the tip of a screwdriver or tweezers to push it out of the lug, and keep it safely (it will be reused for installing the new strap later).

② Repeat the above operation for the other side of the lug to complete the installation of the new strap.
