You CAN use this G-Shock without connecting it. But you give up a few things.
Buy the G-Shock Rangeman GPR-H1000: bit.ly/3HxFbHm

I didn't mention it in this video but you can customize some of the screens on the Rangeman, however it requires the smartphone app with a bluetooth connection to accomplish this.

The pointer pen I used in this video was the Zebra F701. It's made of metal.

So the conclusion is, if you don't like Bluetooth, just get the GW-9500 mudman,or a mudmaster. After watching your videos I bought the mudman and it is a great watch. But this rangeman didn't convince me to buy it. So I ended up with the first generation mudmaster GWG 1000 -1A3ER, without Bluetooth and I love it. Initially I ordered the new gwg-b1000 with that red strap but it's not available yet. But I'm happy with the older dumb version and I canceled the order. I don't need Bluetooth just like you, especially on a g-shock. This whole software update thing and connection is part of that planned obsolescence you mentioned. Even my toothbrush is having Bluetooth on board and an app to download. Just don't enable it, and your device will last longer, without knowing when to kill itself.

Great video, thanks. I've been watching all you post for new Rangemen and also got one myself. App is not that bad, my biggest issue was when watch disconnected and I had to remove pairing and register again. Also, when you have other Bluetooth watches, they can mess up with connection, as App might get confused, which one to connect. I played hard with all types of activities, above average in 8 days trip to Egypt (hiking, exploring, swimming, diving...), and wasn't able to recharge thru solar power. Watch was exposed like 8-10 hrs outdoor. I went to 1 bar after 10 days since it was fully charged. Anyway, great watch, but not stand alone, thus I bought legendary GW-9400. Basic functions, but this is all you need on a desert island. Cheers from Poland :)

I thought you could increase the number of world time places you can review when you connect via Bluetooth? I am not sure if it downloads into the watch or not, but it’s a significant increase, as I understand it.

In my opinion a bluetooth and the app, an update would be really useful if Casio decide to improve that disgusting small compass pointer, or to have a possibility to change display from positive to negative. Casio could do it over the update, that's for sure. The altimeter isn't accurate off course, because it's not based on the GPS position (a watch doesn't have enough memory to store every position in the world), it's based on the air pressure, I got no clue why, it should be calibrated before any serious usage. Power saving mode is very good idea, my every solar powered watch (except from Citizen Promaster) is at the power save mode, no matter do I need it or not. I got nothing gainst the apps and connecting, but I connected every watch just once and never again, I wanted to see does it works, that's it. In my opinion, a biggest consumption of the battery is GPS, location, not the bluetooth....I don't know about the HR but I know that it's stealing the space for the battery, which is bad. I like that Mudman very much, Casio could make a bit thicker numbers, but ok.
@traviswalker8933
@traviswalker8933 6 месяцев назад
HR is not stealing the space for the battery. Every smartwatch has it these days and the battery life isn't affected on many by it. Of course it would consume battery power as it is constantly measuring your heart rate. Altimeters on Casio watches are always pressure based rather than sea level based which is more accurate and the manuals too admit that but still Casio chooses to stick with an air pressure calibrated sensor which gets distorted easily if the pressure rises or falls.
@termit520
@termit520 6 месяцев назад
@@traviswalker8933 HR sensor is stealing a lot of space since whole assembly is couple of milimeters thick which is a lot. And also, Casio altimeter is one of the most unreliable thing ever made... it has to be calibrated every time when (and if) you want to use it which I don't recommend, and it's very easily affected by magnetic fields which are everywhere
@traviswalker8933
@traviswalker8933 6 месяцев назад
@@termit520 the pressure sensor is not affected by magnetism. Only the direction sensor is affected by it. The heart rate sensor sure does take space but that doesn't impact battery life to a large degree. The GPR-B1000 Rangeman lacked the HR sensor and is more thicker than the GPR-H1000.

A watch is a time measuring tool. Speaking about GPR-B1000 there's no space for the HR because Casio was using the brain... a weight of the watch is mostly the GPS antenna, and a thickness is mostly a battery size, it was impossible to make it smaller
