I have tried a lot of chemicals to get rid of these stains, but it wont go away. I used soap, detergent, and nail polish remover, but nothing happened. There is some brown stains on this watch, as well as some pen marks. How do i get rid of it?

Looks like a rubber eraser.

Probably not much you can do about it. I had a white DW-5600 that got stained while taking a wet rug out of the washing machine. I couldn't get it off 'cause the color soaked into the resin. A new bezel and strap will probably be the only way.

Greetings, Sedi :)

Have you tried a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser? I used one to get Sharpie marks of a table that had been there over a year. Never tried one on a G, but they do work wonders. Worth a shot...

Oh they're awful for it. I love me some colour on my squares but have to be really careful with any light coloured straps and bezels. I have an orange one that was really mucked up over a 3 day hike by rubbing against a jacket.

Jeans seem to be the worst for transferring colour. I have an all-white 5610 which I don't wear with jeans in order to try get a little more life out of it. Shouldn't need to baby a G-shock! [emoji31]

I tried a lot of different options to try clean up by orange set but I don't think I tried rubbing alcohol. I will give that a go.

light colours will pick up and show dirt/colour transfer more than dark colours, even more so if the light coloured material is spongey rubbery resin, its no mystery or shock discovery. same way white shoes show dirt or colour transfer from other clothing.
you can 1. try cleaning it, which, depending on the "dirt" may or may not be an easy fix;
2. take extra care not to dirty it in the first place and minimise wears
3. buy replacement resin, wear without a care then replace as required.
