@PerthWAtch 4 года назад

Thanks for that - very detailed comment and some very good thoughts there! Pretty sure this is still in production as you can easily get it for good price and I still see it displayed widely in dealers. The band on my plain version is just resin, but there are versions where there is CF mixed in for extra durability. I was aware of the different firmware / software between models, but thanks for the reminder and details.

I have this watch for two years. I am sailor. So the watch is everyday in the water salt and fresh water in the shower. So...how long do you guys think that this G-Shock can last under this heavy use?... Cheers watch people

The resin may wear down and need replacement, but the core module should last as long as you need it

I have the Rangeman for 4 years now. For serious outdoor activities, it's more likely I wear the Rangeman.... But I have the Mudmaster GWG-1000 too and it is a beautiful watch man. I wear it for hiking, camping and as an everyday use watch. Also it hasn't got a snooze function and only a 60 min. countdown unlike the Rangeman. The Mudmaster is more twice the price of the Rangeman. But if you have the money and you can afford it get it. I purchased mine as an Xmas gift for myself. Sometimes you're allowed to fancy yourself 😉😉.

@PerthWAtch 6 лет назад

Hey there, thanks for the comment! Great to hear of your own experiences with these two watches. For myself I now honestly give the Rangeman significantly more time, however I do love the Mudmaster - main thing stopping me from wearing more is its sheer size which doesn't make it suitable for as many contexts IMO. If only I had bigger wrists and arms :)

@DaMaX74 6 лет назад

Perth WAtch The Rangenan is a sweet watch. You can wear your Mudmaster around your biceps 😎😎😉😉. Well I got the Mudmaster since december, so it is now my new fav, but still love and wear the Rangeman. There will be a new Rangeman coming out in 2018. Fully digital, bluetooth. If you have time check it out.

@PerthWAtch 6 лет назад

Hahaha Ok I will try to fit it around the bicep! :) Ah how interesting that new model - not sure how I feel about the all pixel display, that's a first for G-Shock! Certainly don't feel great about the $800 MSRP!

@DaMaX74 6 лет назад

Perth WAtch I am pro independant watches. Tough Solar and Time keeping. That's why I don't like smart watches in the sense that they need to be charged constantly and that the life spam of the battery is an issue too. Besides that, all the software update. Hope G-Shock isn't going in that direction, it'll suit the Pro-Trek more.

@PerthWAtch 6 лет назад

Haha at first I thought you were referring to independent watch brands! Good thought, and instinctively that's why I like solar watches among the quartz choices. Yes I think if the need to charge is significant, that would be a serious bother to me... I used a FitBit for a whole year (this was before I became interest in watches) and that was the main reason why I stopped.

@steveholaday3551 6 лет назад

Ha, never noticed that you reviewed this watch before. I love the Rangeman. I calibrate it before I head to Colorado and works very well. The barometer and altitude work well after calibration. Very tough watch.

@PerthWAtch 6 лет назад

AFAIK it remains the top selling G-Shock of all... easy to why too, it really offers an unparalleled suite of functions and features for $200! :)

@PerthWAtch 6 лет назад

Haha indeed, why not - I did! :)

@giannipala2160 4 года назад

Top tip. If you live in Australia (or anywhere else outside the atomic clock signal range) set the home city to Tokyo, and leave your watch around your bike frame overnight (or any other metal structure). This will tend to amplify the signal, and voila! You can synchronise your watch. The following morning just set city back to SYD or PER etc. It works!

@PerthWAtch 4 года назад

Yeah some people mentioned that method, although others have tried and found it did not work. Pretty sure it won’t in Perth... Brisbane might have a chance.

Super review! Easily one of the best. I bought the GG1000 without understanding what I was buying, It was an impulse buy. I really like the GG1000 a lot and have been struggling with buying the GWG1000 because I would feel like I had duplicated my effort and would be paying a premium for my haste. Someone might say sell the GG1000. Can't do it , I like it too much. Enter the Rangeman 9400 . Problem solved. All the features plus sunrise sunset, only $200.00. I can deal with a $200 fix over a $500 fix. You buy screen protectors for little more than $10.00 on amazon , this solves the sapphire lens dilemmac. I should see my new Rangeman by the end of the week. Can't wait. Now I must stop watching these G Shock videos. I want them all.

@PerthWAtch 5 лет назад

Haha thanks for that, glad you found this video helpful! I'm sure you will enjoy the Rangeman, it is an awesome watch. Screen protector is an interesting idea but thanks to the substantial G-Shock resin bezels I've never bothered and also haven't had a problem :)

@spy8464BB 5 лет назад

@@PerthWAtch Both my GG1000 and Protrek WSD-20 smart watch have a stupid little hair type scratch right across the face. It's just visible enough for me to see so that's why I go with the sceen protector, usually 3 to 5 come in a pack. If you scare one up you can pop a new clean one on. They are very durable, I haven't had to change one out yet . Both watches have a substantial bezel, just my luck. Thanks for commenting back.

Perth WAtch : Actually yes I do. I’m very fond of Citizen and Seiko watches. My upmarket watches are Rolex Explorer II (courtesy ex-wife) and Rolex Sea Dweller (courtesy current wife 😄). But I get an enormous amount of pleasure from the accuracy of quartz watches, so I do have a few. I’ve been missing getting a good digital wristwatch for some time now. My next watch will probably be a Marathon. In the meantime, I’ll be looking forward to the Casio *GW-9400* arriving next week with much anticipation. I just had the Sea Dweller serviced last month. It cost US$842.00!

Perth WAtch Yes, the bezel studs and all of the buttons are metal, a step up from many cheaper Gs. The sleeved and knurled buttons are excellent, with very positive activation.

I wish the circle on the face of this watch was like the Riseman (with the barometer reading ). It's just eye candy in regular time ( showing the indicators for the seconds ) , it's only good in the Compass mode , even though it's small. The Altimeter and Barometer mode it is hard to see the individual indicators. It would of been better if the circle could of shown the Barometer reading and the Compass reading. Now if you want to see the the Barometer reading in the timekeeping mode , you then don't see the day of the week. Casio for years has loved to show the seconds or minutes in either circular or boxed segments in there watches as well as of course the numeral seconds. It's still a nice watch , I have this one you are showing , the olive green negative display one , the sunrise purple and the Burton white one. Had the red one but sold it on ebay.

@PerthWAtch 7 лет назад

Yeah I have read about that, many fans seem to wish that the circle was more like the Riseman. Nice range of models you have - the red one you had, was it the *Men in Rescue Red* or the *Kobe City Fire Bureau* version? The latter one I think looks awesome but is rare and has become crazy expensive! Short of that I might consider grabbing a yellow one which I fancy as an out-there color to put on the wrist :)

@zackamanda9799 7 лет назад

I didn't know it by any name other then a Red Rangeman. It was red with white lettering. I had the Red Mudman as well but sold that one too. It definitely wasn't the Kobe City Fire Bureau , that watch is to pricey for me. I have one yellow G-Shock , the GWN1000-9A Gulfmaster

@PerthWAtch 7 лет назад

Ok yeah, that'll be the *GW-9400RD* "Men in rescue red" one. Wish I could've caught the fire red one when it first came out, would probably have been reasonable price for a watch that appreciates in value! Cheers, Ivan.

@justsomesaltyboi8716 3 года назад

torn between this one or the pro trek negative screen, but for ease of readibility and the frequency I like to fish and such, I think I would mainly want to go for this watch. it also reminds me a lot of a watch my mom got me when I was in high school which is no longer working, I had it in 2012, and was some random off-brand name watch. the plastic band broke and battery died in 2019, I hope that this one will last much much longer than that old thing!

@PerthWAtch 3 года назад

Thanks for sharing your experiences there. How about a positive display Pro Trek as another option?

@justsomesaltyboi8716 3 года назад

@@PerthWAtch the positive screened ones are resin cased, and around a hundo bucks more (300!). The rangeman took over as it was steel cased, resin coated, and it does all the pro trek does... and more! It is more resistant to dirt and mud as well (casio took the mud resistence down for marketing for mudmaster lineup) and it is just overall tougher imho. In a way, you are paying 230 for the rangeman but also, it has replaceable parts. The protrek doesnt have an easier replacement parts lineup. Ive definitely decided this is going to be my main go to watch. Now i just wanna try to get a bullbar and a NATO strap fitted for the 9400.

@AuslanderAish 7 лет назад

can you please tell me if I should go for this rangeman model or the green one with negative display? I really love both and I don't have the budget to buy both lol. I also wanted to know if you know about the black panther rangeman it's just awesome.

@PerthWAtch 7 лет назад

Hi there, I have experience with both positive and negative display Casio watches and on overall balance, I personally prefer positive displays - I just find them easier to read in a wider range of lighting conditions. Add on the greater versatility of black, I would have to recommend going for this black model. I've heard about the "black panther" black Rangeman with negative display - it looks rad but I still hesitate about the display there. Hope that's helpful! Regards, Ivan.

@PerthWAtch 6 лет назад

Thanks for that John, helpful to know! Although being a mechanical watch user in large part all my Quartz pieces are more than sufficiently accurate as is... if there was a version without the time sync function and was cheaper, I would've gone for that. I did so with my Frogman just bought :)

@mistermasada1829 5 лет назад

I looked at both the Rangeman and the Mud Master but the Rangeman offered 2 features that the Mud Master did not, Solar charging and Atomic time keeping. While the Mud Master does have the "LOOKS COOL" factor, the Rangeman really is the better overall value. Picked mine up from Amazon last night for less than $200 with free 2-day delivery. I already own two G-shocks and one Pro Trek. I can't see buying anything other than Casio.

@PerthWAtch 5 лет назад

If comparing with the GG-1000 Mudmaster, yes those are some of the differences. The watch I compared with here is the GWG-1000 model which does have atomic timekeeping and tough solar - it is however considerably more expensive.

@mistermasada1829 5 лет назад

@@PerthWAtch Oops my bad, I forgot that there are 2 versions of the Mud Master, one being much cheaper that doesn't offer the tough solar and Atomic time keeping features. Great review of the Rangeman by the way.

Hi there! I just purchased this watch five days ago and as you've said it is a great looking watch,but ive noticed something in the display that made me watch this video of yours three times in a row. The digits of the watch that I bought fades when viewed in some angles even looking at it directly in front makes it slightly fade. Is this normal? Does your rangeman do this too? Because after watching your video as I've said three times in a row I did not see it fade. Is it maybe because of the lighting?? Do I have to bring it to casio service center because I dont want to return it coz its the last piece they have of this model and its very hard to find this model nowadays.Can you or anyone here please tell me if they have this same issue and what you or they did to resolve it.Thank you very much in advance and by the way ,great video !

@PerthWAtch 6 лет назад

Thank you very much for the comment. Mine does not have a noticeable problem, it fades on side viewing say around more than 30 degree angle from direct but that's quite normal I think. As far as I can tell based on what others have commented here it may be a batch issue, as in certain production runs may suffer the problem, so if yours is like that it's kinda bad luck. One solution may be to hang on to it and try to source one from a local dealer (so you can check in person), then return the defective one. All the best! Ivan.

@Danilo-jx8du 6 лет назад

I just bought mine and I noticed the digits are very dim and "ghost" at just about every viewing angle. Does anyone else have this problem or is this a normal characteristic of the watch? I have a g9300 and the digits are very dark and are viewable just about from any angle.

@PerthWAtch 6 лет назад

Battery life is quoted as basic use following full charge, or as total standby time in darkness. 10 years is a good long time for the Mudman.

Hey, that was a great video. I was looking for a new G-shock, interested in the 9400 and came across you video. I'm from Perth as well that's was I got attracted to you channel :p I do have a question about the atomic receiver tho, do you know if there's a way to disable the auto update? I'm planning to go to Japan later this year, since we don't get the atomic update in Oz, I'd rather to change time zone manually so it doesn't mess up with my home time. I don't want my watch to update its home time automatically then when i get back to Perth I'll have to reset the time again. There might be an easy fix but I never had one with atomic receiver before :p Thanks!!

@PerthWAtch 6 лет назад

Thanks for that Wilson - always great to hear from a local! :) Yes you can actually turn off the auto-receive for the time signal... however, I would add that you don't have to worry about the auto-receive messing with your home time. You select the time zone when you setup the watch, and it will keep showing that time zone until you change it. Auto-receive will simply correct the time to precise atomic timing. Hope that help! Cheers, Ivan.

@Peterparker-pi2ek 4 года назад

Between this model and Mudmaster GWG-1000, which one do you recommend? I would appreciate your answer, I understand that this model does not have mud resistance, and the mud master yes, why is that? do you have any special filter?

@PerthWAtch 4 года назад

Actually water resistance pretty much equates to mud resistance in most people’s view. The GWG-1000 gives a tough solar movement with analog display, and vibration resist along with sapphire. But of course costs much more... if you want value, go with the GW9400, but if you like the extra specs and can stretch it, the Mudmaster gives that extra “cred” :)

Hi, do you buy local or online? I don't live close enough to Perth to visit retailers and have always shopped online. Is it worth buying local or do we pay for the privilege for living in WA with watches as well?

@PerthWAtch 7 лет назад

Hi Steve - oh we definitely pay for watches here, as with almost everything else unfortunately! Much as I am for supporting locals the prices are marked up pretty high... Only on clearance do they become reasonable I find. I have picked up a couple of pieces locally like that, but this one is from online. Also if >$1000 I have never ordered from overseas as I don't want to deal with the tariff issues. Sounds like you're already quite experienced with online buying, but I did an eBay tips video if you're interested. Cheers, Ivan.

@stevekjellgren9909 7 лет назад

Perth WAtch thanks mate. Have been buying online for 10+ years. Have also bought gear over $1k and it's not that bad. Just takes an additional week normally because you have to pay the gst and handling which was $70 the last time I did it.

@PerthWAtch 7 лет назад

Ah I see... I'm sure you should have no problem getting this online. Just to clarify, you mean you have to pay 10% of item value in GST AND then you had to pay $70 handling on top? Depending on the item this could blow the price out a bit it seems...?

@stevekjellgren9909 7 лет назад

Perth WAtch very true but I saved over $1k on the item. Only ever did it once and it obviously has to be worth it.

@Miguel-cq1ms 7 лет назад

I have a contrast issue with this watch. The digits looks faded when looked directly at it, the same effect as when you tilt a little a normal one. Guess it's a glass anti reflection error.

@PerthWAtch 7 лет назад

Thanks for the feedback Miguel. It seems fine on mine when viewing directly... I find the fading (typical of LCD displays) occurs mostly when viewed from above horizontal or from the right... Which incidentally is kinda most desirable for when the watch is worn on the left wrist. Design fluke or intentional? Probably the latter I reckon!

@Miguel-cq1ms 7 лет назад

Perth WAtch thanks for the answer. It's a similar effect as with low battery power, only more subtle and it's fully charged. I went back to the same store I bought and they didn't noticed the flaw. They showed me the other ones they had and were all the same except for the Burton. This was the only one with good contrast. So I guess either Casio changed the display, the glass or maybe even a bad production batch. Either way, I'm trying to send it for repairs. Thanks again.

@PerthWAtch 7 лет назад

I see... you may well be right about a particular batch. All the best with the repair plan!

@cameronoquinn94 6 лет назад

Can you wear this watch backwards on your wrist without tripping the auto light function continually. That doesn't mean to disable the function either. I'm hoping that it works just fine either front facing or rear facing.

@PerthWAtch 6 лет назад

What an odd question... in what situation would be beneficial to wear a watch backwards?? For what it's worth the auto light doesn't trigger backwards, it has to be tilted 40deg forward to trigger.

@cameronoquinn94 6 лет назад

@@PerthWAtch its a matter of preference, it feels. More natural to look at wrist inward then looking at the back of my hand for my watch. Try it once and you'll notice it's much easier to rotate just the lower part of your arm to see the watch if you wear it upside down like that - as opposed to having to rotate your arm and raise your elbow to see it get a better view of your watch when it is on your wrist.

@PerthWAtch 6 лет назад

Oh I see what you mean... yes the human arm moves like that more naturally. But you said backwards, although that's actually just worn on inner surface... backwards implied upside down to me, which is why I was perplexed.

@cameronoquinn94 6 лет назад

@@PerthWAtch no worries, with the confusion cleared up will the g shock watch auto light function normally with the afore mentioned style of wearing the timepiece? If you could actually try it and see that'd be a huge help. Perhaps even a video demonstrating the ergonomics of the style and how manipulating the watch looks/feels wearing it in this way. I have scowered the internet and have yet to see one like that, i think it would be quite insightful and doesn't have to be long. But again, if you could give it a try and be sure the auto light functions normally on the 'opposite' side of the wrist, per se, I'd be incredibly grateful. Subbed.

@PerthWAtch 6 лет назад

Thanks for the suggestion - I actually answered the question in my first comment, stating that it only works when tilting forward toward the wearer. It will not work when worn on inner side of the wrist unfortunately.
