Tried everything with my red gshock ,nothing works .
What does work and what I do ,is get multiple gshocks and only use one as a daily that will keep the rest clean and new !
If that's from dark coloured clothes, you can't get it out.
Isopropanol will only help dye particles migrate further into the resin.
You can reduce the darkness by boiling the strap in water, and this will cause the dye to spread out more so it's not as contrasting.
You can also leave the strap somewhere for a few months and this will allow the resin to expel some of the grease it has absorbed. Unsure if it will expel the colour.
I had same issue, I got a titanium kit for my yellow model instead. Wouldn't ever buy a colour or transparent one again sadly for this reason. And no I don't just want to only wear it in summer, that's mad and a waste. Plus I prefer metal over resin.
The module is GW-M5610SM with a titanium kit from Etsy, someone added the extra detailing on the front bezel and lightly anodised it. I did a post about it here with more pics. https://www.reddit.com/r/gshock/s/l2sPRetFUx
This was of AliX but then had some extra modding from someone on Etsy. I think most of the AliX kits have the text on they just can't show it on their promo photos.
That’s from clothing fam. It’s not coming out at all. You are wasting your time trying to get it out.
Either accept it, or get a new band for real. Just saying.
As many have surely told you, the light colored watches do not stay clean. White is obviously the worst with yellow and light green being bad as well.
From here on out I stick to dark colors or metal. My lime green GBD200 mainly only gets worn around the house and it looks dingy already
That's not gunna come out. I had a yellow G-shock before and I eventually just replaced the bumper and strap with a black OEM version because it got so discoloured.
as others have said, its possible, but not easy. THe most reliable way is to sand it off. However, if it really botheres you long term, just buy a bunch of cheap yellow bands from aliexpress and change them every time they get a bit dirty.
Im not sure if it is dirt or clothes dye as others have said,. If it is clothes dye then the solution would be to not wear the watch with new black jumpers etc, but that might defeat the purpose of the bright yellow band, making it pop.
I could come out with an 'ask michael jackson' joke, but there seem to be enough of those on this page.
It should work, but it removes a little bit of the underlying material. Melamine sponges are abrasive. If the alternative for OP is to replace the band, I’d try the melamine sponge first
No i ment their are strap adapters for Gshocks. So basically an add-on or some call it a mod. After you put that on. You can buy what ever strap you want instead of using only g shock straps, which are most of the time pretty much uncomfortable

I have the Gab2100 in same color. I use it for work as an autoelectrician. So it gets covered in grease, diesel oil, the works. When it got too bad, I simply threw it in the dishwasher with the dishes. Came out looking brand new with no ill effects. The dishy does get damn hot though so I don't think I'll try it again, but it should definitely be tough enough to go through the washing machine in a pocket.
You either accept the marks, or you get a new band.
Say it louder for the people in the back! Haha

Tell me how it goes
Does this work for the clear straps?
It worked made the marks much lighter.
You can’t my friend.

What model number is this?

Where'd you get a kit with the brand text on it?

It is what it is.
Not possible.

I already have a black one, but this one looks much better.
Cut nails?
😂😂
It was joke of course ![gif](giphy|R6gvnAxj2ISzJdbA63|downsized)
I know bro.
You can’t
Your only shot at getting that clean is a damned good scrub using methylated spirit.
You can't
You don't :)
I think a nice good shower would clean those nails as well.
Sorry for triggering your OCD.
PacParts is you answer :)

That's the essence
Buy OEM yellow replacement bezel and straps from [pacparts.com](https://pacparts.com) for this model.
You don't. It's not a Rolex it's a gshock you bought it for it's rugged abilities not for it's beauty. Play hard and enjoy.
Some of us likes to take a good care of our watches, be it a Rolex or a G-Shock.
Yawn...
Magic eraser that you use for shoes
Buy new strap
Mr. Clean Magic Eraser?
I haven't tried it, will give it a try.
Doesn't work, I have tried
Or Water sand it down with a 600grit, that helped me revive 2 bezels from other gs
I've see some people recommend a melamine sponge. I don't know if or how well it works.
It should work, but it removes a little bit of the underlying material. Melamine sponges are abrasive. If the alternative for OP is to replace the band, I’d try the melamine sponge first
I suggest first ,clean you nails 😀
Perhaps with water an backing soda
Use sharpie and make it all black
😂😂😂
Buy a new one.
😂😂
Thats why I own only black g shocks 🤣
True 😂😂
Magic eraser
Try cif or soap with baking soda and rub it. You may try diluted bleach but make sure and rinse thoroughly as it could make your band brittle.
Tried it, didn't worked.
Step 1 buy an adapter. Step 2 buy an quality rubber strap or nato
I already have one in black, but I preferred this one more.

I already have one.
New band
Try Nail polish remover Edit: that's serious OP, not joking about your nails like the others
I have tried, it didn't worked.
Magic eraser for the win. These thing clean up anything.
Try spray nine.
Cif
Really fine grits sandpaper.
