G-Shock RANGEMAN vs. GBD-H2000 

Yes, the GBD - H2000 is a better fitness watch compared to the rangeman,more confortable. The rangeman is designed for outdoor use, trekking. I personally use the mudman gw-9500, great succesor of the GW 9400 rangeman.

Thanks for that review. Pushed me over the edge and just got me the GW9500 Mudman. Seems the perfect fit for me.

I really like the GPR-H1000. I use small o rings on the strap to hold the metal keepers in place on my G-Shocks with metal keepers. I do prefer the resin ones. They don't show scratches so easily and they seem to stay put better.

Jim, thanks for the video. I have purchased a GPR-H1000. I have connected it to the app but not much. The surprising thing is on the app you can remove the options you don't want, like notifications, lifelog. To make your options suitable for your use.. Also I keep my rangeman in airplane mode as it disables the blue tooth & GPS to make the battery last even longer. I charged it about a month ago & it is still on 5 bars.

Congrats on the weight loss brother. Thats impressive. I went from 240 to 198lbs last summer doing Masonry. I feel so much better. If you had to pick one between your Rangeman and Mudman which would you choose? Im guessing the Mudman. I’m assuming you’d take the Mudman.

I work offshore in the oil and gas industry and I use my GBD-H2000 as watch of choice. It's super comfortable and have no issues when it comes to toughness 👌🏼

Looks like GBD screen is bigger than Rangeman ?

Jim, How can one activate that Watch Face that is shown on your GBD H2000? Many thanks, C.

Please compare the heart rate accuracy of GBD H2000 and H5600 by wearing both devices simultaneously.

I would advice anyone to buy something that makes him happy...since I'm a guy who buys the watch with a purpose, very rare something hat makes me happy, even though Casio big boys makes me happy at the same time. I would say that's a real Rangeman, a bit modern style, but I'm sure, there was some batches which was made with a lower quality standards. I'm a more Mudman than a Rangeman guy....my Mudman GW9300 is one of my favourite watches. I would advice anyone to buy a square at the first place, that's the starting point. Also, for the outdoor use, a little square, maybe G-lide and a little real compass are able to do a lot better job than that Rangeman in a sense of orientation. And one important thing.....absolutely don't buy a squares (or any Casio) made in China, made in Thailand is ok, but definitely buy made in Japan.....even though that can be a hard task.

Yes the screws at the bands is a flaw. My gbd h2000 have a losses thread. It because the screws is directly screw in the plastic frame.

Great review.... I have been using my GBD H2000 daily for a year now....I have 3 other G shocks including the MTG B1000 and 2 king Gs but I always tend to go to the GBD H2000 for daily as wear because 1) as you said the comfort level is on another level and I put that on the design of the strap flaps, being the fact that it opens flat 2) its features and very accurate heart monitor...the design of comfort makes the heart rate monitor works even better and more accurate on all wrists....Its just a great watch man.

Thanks dear for making this comparison video on my request. Great video with a lot of insights. However, I feel that rangeman looks a bit odd and out of balance as it has strange cylindrical lugs on the left. I feel GBD looks more symmetrical. Also there is a 30 gm difference between them. I find it extremely comfortable. It matters more when you wear the watch while going to sleep and that is more comfortable with gbd as compared to rangeman. You brought out some very nice and informative points and based on that I had finally bought gbd. Also except for the tide graph there doesn't seem to be the any difference and I think casio can add that any time because tide graph is not dependent on any extra sensor that rangeman has. It is just dependent on the moon data that gbd also has apart from that I am definitely not going into a war field with this watch so I don't need master of g. I think that's an overkill and that makes the watch less comfortable so unless you really need it there is no point. simple g shock does all the toughness job for me and if this is a fitness watch , it is made already to take a fair amount of beating.Thanks so much ! you make great videos keep it up in fact there is no video on RU-vid which compares the two watches thank you so much once again.

Casio G-Shock must of found a way to cut costs without putting full GPS map on the GBDH1000, GBDH200, and GPRH1000 like on the GPRB1000 that costs $1,590. That watch came out in 2018.

Great review

Без проблем с зарядкой АКБ в будущем проще взять на замену GW-9400 это крот GW-9500, а 1000 и 2000 модели считаю просто переплата денег за функции которыми будите не так активно пользоваться в дальнейшем

I don’t consider it a rangeman, the model prior was better

You should compare the new Rangeman to the previous model, GW-9400. I have the yellow and red. I just can'T stand the new software they use with these new iterations. You are almost always required to use the phone for some functions compare to the olders ones

GBD is better value. It has everything that range man has in a lighter and comfortable package. it is sufficiently tough also .you have to ask yourself how much is too much and of course you don't want your voice to survive if you are committing a suicide jumping off the top floor😂

casio's fitness watches fall short of the garmins

Yes, I have to admit, that I am also one of those guys, who bought the H2000, just after its release with my eyes rather than with my brain, but at least, I agree, it was a mistake and I don´t even try to "talk it nice" or trying hard to find somehow good reasons for this horrible mistake and waste of money. But instead after the purchase, I felt remorse and felt stupid. I wish, I knew Jim´s channel earlier, would have saved me quite some hundred Euros. One issue in life is not, to make a mistake, but to make the same mistake over and over again. I don´t care about any Casios anymore, untill they will change their greedy woke business policy.
