Is your White Baby-G Watch Turning Yellow from Staining? Here's How To Fix It!

Don't you just hate when you purchase a watch, and after a while, the band starts to look like it's been dipped in mustard? Unfortunately that happens more often than you think, especially with white watches. What's worse, this isn't covered by Casio warranty, as they consider it normal. So what can you do? Well, this is what my quick and simple guide is for. So, if you're ready to get your watch back into shape, read on!

Now, first thing first, you gotta ask, WHY does this happen? The answer is both simple and complicated - you see, Casio uses Resin in order to make the band scratch and tear resistant. Unfortunately, the way resin behaves, especially white resin, is sweat and even light can discolour it. And I'm not just talking about sunlight. Fluorescent light can discolour it as well.

There are ways to avoid the yellowing for as long as possible, such as keeping your wrist, and the watch, dry. but let's face it, if you've got a Casio watch, chances are you're an active person.

Luckily there's a very easy way of cleaning the band, so your watch will go back to looking pristine!

First up, get a soft cloth. Moisten it with water that's mixed with a soft detergent. Not dishwashing liquid, cos that's a little too corrosive, but something soft (worst comes to worst, just put some soap into the water dip the cloth into that.

Gently wipe away at the stains, and they SHOULD come off pretty easily. You can exert a little bit of pressure but not too much. If you don't see this making a difference, move on to plan B.

Grab some Hydrogen Peroxide (make sure you use the 3% solution). Spray the solution onto the yellow areas, then let it sit overnight before you try scrubbing. Repeat as needed over a few days and the stains should vanish.

Oh, and we have had some people complain that there's a smudge like pattern on the band after cleaning the watch. Don't worry about this, as you can simply wipe it off too.

Well, there you have it, an easy way to turn your yellow resin band back to its pristine white!
