    What happens in 2039?

    Ok I have a few G's that have an automatic calendar until 2039. Hoping I am still alive I wil be celebrating my 71st birtday. I am wondering what wil happen. Does anybody know? Will the calendar be useless? If so remind me to sell them when I am 70 years old.
    And if no one has a clue I will respond in this topic in 29 years.

    Or you could set the date to the 31st of December 2038 and the time to 23:58 and tell us in two minutes

    That would be cheating....But you are right. Just thought somebody might know and tried it.

    What happens? We all marvel at the longevity of our G-Shocks - and the fact that Casio has kept replacement bands and bezels in production for so long ...

    But seriously, the calendar does repeat, so setting a different year will give the right months, dates and days. Somewhere on the forum is the appropiate year to set. I'm posting from my iPhone though, so don't have a hope of finding it...

    If someone does find it, or has the answer, I'll add it to the FAQ section.

    I think that setting the year to 2012 will give the same calendar as 2040 and further.

    i think 40 years (1999-2039) is the lifetime of a G-Shock watch that the Casio brand has given for it.

    probably those watches will be broken down around 2030s

    Repeating Calendar – years equal to 2040

    This is one of the many sources online to adjust accordingly...
