Watch has gotten pretty funky wearing it the past few days cutting wood all day. Can I wash it in the dishwasher or is the water resiliency of the watch and case only applicable to cool to tepid water? Does a dishwasher get hotter than a hot tub?
Edit: Did itthis morning on "quick wash" and "air dry" settings and it worked fine. Watch is sparkling clean and still ticking. Stuck it on the top rack |

Probably a bad idea.
You should totally do it. |

I would try soaking it in warm soapy water. |

I'd be more concerned with how caustic the soap is. I clean mine with an old toothbrush and regular dish soap.
If you choose to do the dishwasher just turn it to a non heated setting. |

Spray it down with brake cleaner or Powder Blast.

They do fine in the dishwasher as long as you don't use the auto dry feature.

No op, it'll ruin the watch.
Just get a brush with some Hoppes and then wipe clean. |

Yes you can. I use to run mine in the scullery when I was in the Navy. Worked great. Except the screen would "grey out" until it cools off, but after that it was fine.

As others have said the heat of the dry cycle might be bad.
I used to have a G shock that was about 8 or 10 years old . The band has fallen apart and I would just stuff it in my pocket .When I worked in a office I managed to drop it in the toilet after I had flushed . It went down but jambed in the trap . This I knew because the toilet flushed slow .After about a week I pursched a wax ring and broke down the toilet to yank it out. I hosed it off but just thinking about where it had been was grossing me out so I dropped it into a quart canning jar and added some detergent and capped it.I left the jar on my desk and would shake it up every day or so . two years later it was still keeping decent time but I was sick of looking at it so I tossed it in the dumpster. Don't think the dishwasher is going to hurt your G-Shock if you turn off the dry cycle |

But, if you're worried about it. You could just scrub it down with and old tooth brush and soapy water. Aloha, Mark |

I just wear mine in the shower every day and figure I'm good to go.
Granted mine is only a year old and now the face is foggy. I called a as today and they said to send it in and they will take care of it. |

I wore a G-Shock for years when working as a dishwasher in college - constantly in and out of soaking sinks and getting hit with a high pressure sprayer, including directly on it and under it when cleaning up at end of shift, with no ill effects. Went swimming with it, showered with it, and it still runs to this day.
Maybe the newer G-Shocks are pussified, but the old school ones just worked well. |

I don't know what model of watch we are talking about here, but my own is an MTG-900. It's your standard stainless banded atomic/solar G-Shock. It's water proof to 200M, and says right in the book that during charging. It can get hot enough to blacken the digital face. I don't know what temps a dishwasher can put out, but the water is probably 120 degrees or so. I never used one, so I don't know shit about them.
What I know about my watch, is that it's been left in the car on more than one occasion. Had the face blackened multiple times, and has been way to hot to handle. It still works, is in one piece, and keep perfect time. There may be some temperature operation info in your booklet. |

No, the heat will be too much for the watch and kill it. Additionally, the rubber band and case in the drying cycle will dry out and crack like an egg.
Ask me how I know. 
I see where I went wrong.
