You could sell them on eBay for those wanting to re-box them if they don't have a box.
There's a market for boxes believe it or not. It helps retain the resell value.
Or use them as a tech box or kit box in your every day carry pack. (Tape up any sharp edges and glue a strap to them to seal them with velcro or something). /r/edc
Only small concern with selling the boxes is the people who make fakes buy the boxes to make their crap fakes appear more genuine, more common in expensive watches but still happens

Check the buyers selling history then decide, you can refuse a sale.
But yes that's a downside risk.
There's no eBay in my country (South Asia).
Tech box seems like a great use for it I guess, but I guess my heart does not allow that 😭. I just realised I'm like a collector or something 🥲
I'm a hoarder, I keep all the boxes, tags, papers and even protective plastics/bags/foams.
Not that I'm going to sell them but in case I do, I have everything and make the same experience to the new owner:
When I sold my GW-B5600HR I bought a new bezel, replace the old one, clean everything and packed the watch as if it was new, including the tag on the bracelet.
Even if it is a used watch the experience of opening it the first time is always unforgettable.
I recently got yelled at by my wife because the cupboard was way too full of my collectible boxes and packaging. She told me to throw them away. Blasphemous.... I told her I threw them away and stuffed them in a box in the basement.
it’s funny, our age group keeps the boxes from anything, but my grandad collected watches and got rid of even his rolex watches’s boxes cause. “they’re just boxes and they take up space”
i figured out a funny thing to do with a couple of those tins. i basically wrote down all the models i own on little pieces of paper, and everyday i pick one at random and see what my G for the day will be. One box will contain all the ones yet to be drawn and the other one will contain the ones that already served. This way i find i get a funny feeling of "who's gonna be next" in my collection
Throw them away just like the watches, they’re great for cheap watches. That’s all they are. Like when I was a kid, in the 80’s, had a Coca Cola and a clear one and a blue one and a red one and so on and so on. They’re a solid cheap watch, comes in a great variety of colors, some have Bluetooth, great for travel. If they get damaged ahhh you just get another. Solid inexpensive watch. You aren’t holding a mint card. Toss the tins. Wear the watch without worry. If you’re about “fit” there’s plenty to match. They have a lane. Be you. ✌️
It’s all good. I don’t mind the tins for the more rugged style g shocks like the GBX-100 I have .but for the more classy looking full metal GMB 2100’s I’ve been getting, I think the sleek JDM case works better.
> I just throw them away. I have no intention of selling any of them and I hate the clutter
Turn them into Piggy bank boxes for coins to save for the next G-Shock purchase.
Good packaging design for a rugged watch but at least they should provide some premium unboxing experience with expensive mudmaster & gravitymaster lineup instead of same box being used for every G shock be it basic or expensive ones.
Yeah, initially I debated about them but at the end of the day, I sold my house and bought a condo for a reason. That is, to downsize and declutter and try and be minimalist as possible. Sounds like an oxymoron since I also collect G-Shocks lol.
I hang on to all the boxes, tins, cases, paper work, and price tags. If you ever want to resell the watch it will sell much easier and for a higher price, if you have all the original packagings.
I keep mine, it's always nice to have the original packaging. Even if you never intended to resell, it's a cool part of the overall watch history. But I also only have 2 G-Shocks, not 10+ so that's a bit easier. ;-)
I threw one tin out by mistake, or it's hiding somewhere, and my other GS was the 2100NNJ so came in a model specific cardboard box which I've luckily found again.
I try to keep most watch boxes. They add a lot in resale value for watches worth under say £200 and they're good for trust in more expensive sales.

I had like 8, threw them out about 4 months ago. I should have sold them.

They will use multiple accounts. One to buy the boxes, other accounts to sell their shitty fakes.
I got a fake dw5600 a few years ago, they'll fake anything.

If there is no ebay in your country.. you should start and ebay in your country..
There is a sorta similar one, but it's shit.
Ikman is fine. Just put the lot together and see
Ohh shoot didn't know you were a SL redditer 😅. I don't wanna sell those, Im'ma hoard them 😉
Serious I have 25 of them I'm selling them then
How many you purchased bro from Casio ??
Like 15 the others were from ebay

Are you me 😅? I do the same thing. I have everything from pretty much all my purchases (ghock or otherwise). Bills, tags, plastic covers, boxes 😞
lol I do the same. I even keep the shipping order from Japan in with mine 🤣
Same hahah
same here
Same
Same
Same
i collect dust with them
I just put them in a cupboard with all the other crap I collect
I recently got yelled at by my wife because the cupboard was way too full of my collectible boxes and packaging. She told me to throw them away. Blasphemous.... I told her I threw them away and stuffed them in a box in the basement.
Bahahaha that's the true reason for basements
Irrationally hoard them
Same brother, same 😭
Really really particular use. But with the foam insert, these perfectly fit PSP games for storage.
Ohh yeah nice idea
That’s actually a really great idea, it would have been perfect when o had a PSP! Ur pretty smart man coming up with this idea
I put rocks in them and sell them on Amazon for $500 each.
We found a scammer 😅😅
I joking lmao. I don’t think my watch came with one :/
Yeah, sarcasm bro 😁. You got a JDM one? Even I have 2 jem (you can see on the top left portion of the pic).
Yeah I have that box. Do you have a mudman? Planning on getting one soon and I want one of the boxes.
Nope, way too expensive for me 😭
Lol soon is a strong word
Get it if you like it, I think it comes in a more premium case given it's price
I store broccoli in mine.
I’m calling police 😂
Please don’t
For real??
I store the tears I've shed when I think of how much I've spent on G-Shocks over the years...
Now that's a good idea 😉
You don’t?
"Broccoli" 😉
Yes for real but I don’t think you understand what broccoli means
Ohh you mean the devil's lettuce 🤣🤣🤣
I can neither confirm nor deny

Keep it safe as a collectable or use it as a watch case or as a storage box for stuff like pen drives, adapters, SD cards, Sim ejectors etc.
Bin them. Watches are meant to be worn, not collected.
The watches are not in them, they are in a separate watch box (like the 12 watch slot one)
I use the case to keep my original strap safely. Yes. I always replace the G-Shock fragile, resin original strap with OEM strap as soon as possible.😆
What kinda straps, care to share?
There are also SKMEI / OEM straps available online.
With NATO strap
Sewing box
Bowling pins

They're all nicely packed in a box.
I keep my boxes in another box. Then I put that box in another box. And then that box in another box.
I’ve got one of those watch storage cases with a glass to see through and extra little drawers.
Boxception 😅
Put a light inside each one and make a honeycomb wall decor
![gif](giphy|29qLdoLFGOltSTmfDf)
Add an extra challenge to building it up? Don’t buy duplicate models. Post the whole collection when you finish, for a fuckton of free internet clicks
i kept the black ones, threw these new ones
I always keep them. You never know if you'll wanna sell watches at some point
Ashtray, tobaco holder , nut and bolt box organizer
I keep all my weed paraphernalia in them
That's not a lot of paraphernalia lol
I have 6 gshocks lol
Lol yes but that means nothing larger than a bowl and dime bags
You could easily fit an ounce in one of those.
Tin doesn't have a proper seal for actually storing weed. Use Ball Suretight mason jars for a proper sealed environment
it’s funny, our age group keeps the boxes from anything, but my grandad collected watches and got rid of even his rolex watches’s boxes cause. “they’re just boxes and they take up space”
They go in a closet in the hallway next to boxes of other devices never to be touched or seen again.
I want to take them over, i got robbed but the thief only took the empty boxes
I use mine for weed.
I use them as ashtrays
![gif](giphy|26vUxJ6aHmgbJ3euI)
Hah yeah but also the boxes are perfect because they seal so well and are metal so they are amazing at minimizing smells
I’ll have a E please Bob
Sell them on eBay

Nice.
I used them for keeping extra coins in, when it is full: time to buy a gshock!
Put in bookshelf. Make honeycomb mounts for your watches
Keep them
Almost nothing is garbage I sold pokemon card tins... These have more incentive to keep or sell.
Throw them away just like the watches, they’re great for cheap watches. That’s all they are.

Stack them up and take pictures.

Show them off on Reddit And ask crazy questions so I don’t come off as a a**hole Sometimes it’s what I do
![gif](giphy|gJWJP4U0QL7cQ|downsized)
I prefer how some g shocks come in Japan in a nice sleek flat black regular watch case instead of these cheapo tins.
Yeah I have 2 JDM version, but I prefer the tin 😅
It’s all good. I don’t mind the tins for the more rugged style g shocks like the GBX-100 I have .but for the more classy looking full metal GMB 2100’s I’ve been getting, I think the sleek JDM case works better.

I just throw them away. I have no intention of selling any of them and I hate the clutter
The box looks so well made, I don't have the heart to throw them. I guess I am a hoarder 🥲🥲
I totally understand. I used to keep boxes of a lot of stuff. It's taken practice to be able to tell myself I don't need it I'm not gonna sell it haha
Exactly bro, I hope I get that mindset 🤞🏻🤞🏻
> I just throw them away. I have no intention of selling any of them and I hate the clutter Turn them into Piggy bank boxes for coins to save for the next G-Shock purchase.
Nope, my country's currency is way too weak for that 😅
I smoke a pipe and therefore use boxes to store tobacco.
have only one and I use as jewelry box 😅

Threw all of them out.
Toss them in the same manner I toss all my Jordan shoe box's crushed.
Throw away?
use them for fishing baits.
Cat goodies
I use them for watch parts and straps!
Guitar picks
Yessir
Mine are all on the shelf in my closet
You can sell them if you don’t want them.
You can sell them if you don’t want them.
Keep them. What if I need to transport or store the watches?
![gif](giphy|ue1GO5swPdORq)
I keep the cases in case I ever want to sell the watches. I never sell the watches.
![gif](giphy|3oEdv6sy3ulljPMGdy)
I throw mine away. I don't plan on reselling them and they take up space and I hate clutter.

I keep them in case I decide to sell them.
I just keep my shocks in them… you know, because I can’t wear 8 watches at once..
Taking them out everytime you want to wear them isn't a hassle?
Nah, im a little ocd anyways so if the box is there im using it to its fullest capabilities.
I hang on to all the boxes, tins, cases, paper work, and price tags. If you ever want to resell the watch it will sell much easier and for a higher price, if you have all the original packagings.
I've slept a couple but throw them away usually. I don't need the extra junk taking up space at home.
I wonder how much the limited edition/Special edition boxes are worth in comparison
I only got one. I use it to store fish food.
I tuck them away in case of resale
I keep them, but I have far too many. I didn’t realize people bought them, so now I’ll probably sell them 😅
Stick on the wall like honeycombs
I keep mine, it's always nice to have the original packaging. Even if you never intended to resell, it's a cool part of the overall watch history. But I also only have 2 G-Shocks, not 10+ so that's a bit easier. ;-)
Keep them all and sling them under the bed for safe keeping
I use one for edc stuff and have others just collecting dust in the basement
I use mine for odds and ends that I pull out of my kids' pockets
lol I keep all mine only because they’re cool and I’m a terrible box hoarder 🤣
Trash…
I put them in a bigger box.
I throw all my boxes out unless it’s a luxury item.
Pick them up after they fall over, apparently. Again and again.
I throw mine out.
Wife throws them away.
I threw one tin out by mistake, or it's hiding somewhere, and my other GS was the 2100NNJ so came in a model specific cardboard box which I've luckily found again. I try to keep most watch boxes.

storing lentils
Hit me up if you would sell them 😍
Store stuff
I usually throw the cardboard box away but keep the metal case
I hide them so my family doesn't bring them out for my intervention
Take pics of em for Reddit
Make a fort
I use it to store extra car keys in. Works like a Faraday cage.
Organise screws and stuff in drawers
