Free G-Shock Watch

I'm in the same boat... just swapped my phone out last night, so theoretically I could use the new phone's IEMI number to get another watch. I wonder if they validate IEMI against account name, or if they only validate that the IEMI belongs to a Commando?

I hope it isn't validated. The Verizon account I have is shared between my Galaxy S4 and my Commando 4G (sim card swapping) also the account is registered to my mother not me. So I wrote webmaster/support to the contest again. I just wish I'd hear something you know.
 
xm, chill. itll be there when its there.. also, it doesnt check any account info.. its quite obvious that you're on verizon... im sure they look no further then if the imei is linked to a nec device.

;) Yeah I tried to update my info as per my account with Verizon and it said that the IMEI was already used. So I'll just have to wait...
 
Does this watch even work on the 4g Commando?? On the Playstore the only app it has says it is incompatible with all my devices. Hmmmm
 
Ahhhh very nice, just was cruising around the website and all it talked about was the ICrap I mean IPhones.

Thanks, entered and got my watch a coming.
 
This may be the reason I've yet to hear anything yet from the contest promoters.

entered ?oct 14-or 15th
no-reply thank you for participating email oct 15
shipping info for gshock watch email oct16
mailing address has been confirmed email oct 17

they said they would reply within november sometime
 
I read up on the watch. It offers call notification, email notification, time sync and phone finder. But sadly the "updated" model offers that PLUS music control and song display. To bad they weren't sending that updated model instead. But hell it's free so I'm not complaining! :)
 
I got this on 10-18
"YOU'RE THE PROUD OWNER OF A NEW G-SHOCK AND HAVE ALSO BEEN ENTERED INTO THE WATERSPORT ADVENTURE SWEEPSTAKES. GOOD LUCK.

You'll soon be contacted through email for your G-Shock shipping address. The winner of the Watersport Adventure Sweepstakes will also be contacted through email."

Haven't heard anything else as of 10-28.
 
You people are silly. I get text from a business saying "I'm good" that tells me it's not worth poop. Good luck people. Typical scam to get personal information.
 
Windowskilla, you actually subscribed to this forum just so you could tell us that? Thank you for the public service.

The sweepstakes was announced on the Casio official G'zone website. Why would Casio create a 'scam? I agree that divulging personal information in exchange for any product can be iffy, but the only way to really avoid giving out personal info is to not subscribe to anything and have no real address/credit cards/phone numbers. You know all that junk mail you get in your snail mail box? That's the post office selling their address list to whoever wants to buy it. I get frequent unrequested offers from Verizon for their 'services'. Priceline spams me because I booked a ticket through them. Etc. It's kind of the price of existing in our commercial society.

For that matter, just doing a search on somebody's internet handle, can bring up all kinds of interesting info like their real names, posts on other forums, photos of them etc., especially if they always use the same name everywhere they go. Real privacy is a fantasy if you participate in any electronic media.

If Casio/NEC/sweepstakes admins starts spamming me, their mails will go in my spam folder and any phone calls will go to voicemail from a number I don't recognize. Easy. And if I get a watch out of it that might be useful to me, then it's worth it to me.

I submitted my mailing address to the Casio sweepstakes on Oct 16 after receiving the email below, they said 4-6 weeks to receive the watch from time of submission of mailing address, so, at best it'll be here in mid-November. Here's the the gist of the mail I got from them a few days after filling out the sweepstakes form (any personally identifying info about me has been removed by me).
