I used the Rangeman during a 3-week roadtrip/safari in Namibia this year. It worked flawlessly in heat, cold, dust, mud, it didn‘t care about very bumpy gravel roads or going off-road. It was banged again car metal or rocks, buried in loose sand (wet or dry) without any issues. The barometer was especially useful because it would show you a change of weather reliably. It didn‘t have the chance to receive the time signal for more than 3 weeks and it was 3 seconds fast when we came back.
The Rangeman and the Mudmaster are built for the zombie apocalypse..... "When The Sh*t Hits The Fan" type of watches.
When. The sh@@t hits the fan. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Amazing how you wrote it. 👍🏻🤣 I liked that one
I don't think I'll be worried what time it is in a zombie apocalypse tho ... I have the rangeman
@@davefool6815 would be nice to have the date tracked without having to think about it. And maybe the barometer in absence of weather reports? Lol
@@GabooNyeah, that's a nice weather tracking method.
Also the compass might really help out when you need it while using a paper map
And then theres the apple watch😂
Sunrise and sunset is a must have for me. Rangeman is the best one!
As a G shock collector, I would say the GW9400 is a must keep item. It is one of the very early G shock which have such multi function with basic and simple design and at a relatively cheap price in light of the functions it carry.
Having said that, g shock just have too many nice pieces to collect. 😂
Yes I've had to put breaks on for a while got 6 now lol the Rangeman definitely looks Iconic 👌 thanks for watching
Ho il Rangeman 9400 e il MUDMASTER GWG 1000 e per me questo ultimo è il migliore.
I have a Rangeman and absolutely love it. Looks good and fits very well. I put a wire guard on it for extra protection.
Where did you find the wire guard for the rangeman?
Found it on eBay , little pricey at $13 bucks
To specify temperature, barometric pressure, and altitude display
units
1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down E for at least two seconds.
SET and Hold will appear on the display fi rst, and then Hold will
disappear. Release E after Hold disappears.
2. Press D as many times as necessary until UNIT appears on the display (page E-33).
3. Perform the operations below to specify the display units you want.
To specify this unit: Press this key: To toggle between these settings:
Altitude A m (meters) and ft (feet)
Barometric Pressure B hPa (hectopascals) and inHg (inches of mercury)
Temperature C °C (Celsius) and °F (Fahrenheit)
4. After all of the settings are the way you want, press E twice to exit the setting screen.
If anyone is wondering why the Temp is Inaccurate, is cause it picks up your body temp. Take it off for 5 to 10 minutes and you will get a accurate reading. Cheers from Canada.
Hi Jason exactly correct
Thanks for stopping by
Other option get a garmin plus tempe it's a separate tiny device and measures temperature from device not watch
Hi I just bought the rangeman, I am Canadian as well, but I want to change the temp from Fahrenheit to Celsius do you know how to do it?
@@rd4501 Greg Anderson (The Good Timekeeper) has a tutorial about three weeks old (he also has an older video. He gives a pretty in-depth explanation to include changing from Fahrenheit to Celsius.
Lol im amazed they would bother including Fahrenheit 😅
Its completely outdated and essentially useless... isn't really an indication of anything 😂
Since I always carry a backpack with me when hiking, I always found the temperature display on the watch to be pretty useless.
How many degrees do we have? Wait, I'll hang my watch on a branch for 10 minutes and then I'll tell them. ;-)
I prefer to keep a small thermometer dangling from my backpack, which you can buy for a few dollars at any camping supply store. /no offense, just a suggestion for people who find this function important. :-)
But your comment is of course useful for people who are surprised that the temperature is not displayed correctly and that it has to be removed from the arm before you can make a statement about it.
Rangman.. Hands down
Great comparation, thanks for the vídeo, any Gshock is unbeatable.
In my personal opinion (that no one asked 😅) i have the rangeman gw9400, i have sold my mudmaster ggb100, easy i only need one watch, the mudmaster is the best looking watch i have ever seen (big alfa men, clear analogic watch if that is what you need, that is your best option) but one negative digital screen is hardy to read and the information gets short if you really like hiking, camping etc (although is better to have it than don't have it).
On the other hand the rangeman have 4 digital screens showing more complete information all time (without counting the battery level), e.g. the compass shows you the compas, dirección, degrees and the hour at the same time; the light is just great, easy to read and low profile compared to the mudmaster (so if practicality is important to you I'll suggest the rangeman).
Cheers ✌🏻
Great comment thank you
Yes extra info on screen is useful with Rangeman. I found ggb100 quite thick where the gwg2000 is slimmer as is the Rangeman although Rangeman probably thicker than the 2000
Thank you for posting comment appreciate your time
The Rangeman is great. I’ve had one for years and it works as well as it did when I got it.
I own both and seem to wear the Rangeman much more.
I own both in red special editions😊..I wear my mudmaster more since I got it cause its a much bigger bulkier watch
Haha, I just saw "extraction" as well and now need this watch!!
Excellent comparison. I have a GWG 1000 and a GW 9400 and I can say that the alarms on the GWG 1000 are totally useless unless you wear the watch on your ear. the super reinforced case of the GWG 1000 makes the alarms and Sig function inaudible. On the GW 9400 the volume of the signals is low but at least audible. I am lucky enough to also own a GD 350. Excellent watch at a very low price. The best negative display I've ever seen on a G Shock and the vibe alarm function is magnificent! I don't understand why in these models with triple-sensor reinforced case they didn't add a vibe alarm which would be essential.
Yes some sort of vibration would be useful. Until I got my garmin 6x and now 7x I was never woken by a watch alarm. The garmins wake me 90% of the time. If uts critical ill just set two or three alarms on garmin that definitely wakes me. The g shocks a good fun and I wear on my left wrist in rotation (garmin on right)
It's even worse in case of new Rangeman. The alarms there are, how to say it politely, symbolic. :-)
@@wojciechpatalas6660 I have a Rangeman and I can say that the alarms are more audible than on my GWG 1000 although they are low.
@@MauroPavanelli I was referring to GPR B1000. Frankly speaking I don't have GWG 1000 but it is hard to belive that alarms in Mudmaster are even quiter than in new Rangeman. I must check it in shop today. By the way I absolutely agree that vibration alarms should ab absolutely must thing in, at least Master G models.
@@wojciechpatalas6660 Without any pretense of saying I have both watches, I love them both. I have some Gshocks I love gshocks since I was a teenager. The GWG 1000 is a beautiful watch that, due to the size of the dial, can be seen even in total darkness without any light 😄. But the Rangeman offers more information on its screens, more functions (sunset and sunrise) that don't exist on the GWG 1000 or 2000 and a much more practical way of adjusting without using a crown. This allows you to adjust the watch without having to take off your wrist, unscrew the crown and gently pull it out. The Rangeman is uglier and more similar to cheaper watches like the GD350, which I also own and which has a vibrating alarm which makes it very special but it is not tough solar if it were it would be excellent. If the Rangeman had a vibrating alarm it would be the most tactical watch ever. But The GWG 1000 and 2000 series is undoubtedly more beautiful. If I went to war I would take the Rangeman and if they make one with a vibrating alarm it would be the best watch for military and police use. At proms I would use a GWG for sure 😃 And I tell you for sure the alarms and SIG in the GWG make the alarm functions completely useless, the reinforced case of the GWG series absurdly muffles the sound of the alarms and If you want more than time view, the negative display in GWG is small and make it a much more a social watch than a military one.
I think the fully digital Rangeman is better in displaying all the various data/info the watch can give. The Mudmaster looks nicer though. I chose the Rangeman (function over looks)... until I have enough reason to buy the Mudmaster too in the future 😊 Just love the 3D dial.
I get the MudMaster 40th anniversary limited edition and I am in complete love ❤️
How is it?
Rangeman wins! I also have a mudmaster (the older gwg 1000 which shares the same module with the newer gwg 2000) so I have and I've had many occasions to test these watches.. I definitely prefer the rangeman due to its cheaper price, due to its extended set of functions and for how ergonomically It was designed. I simply love how You can take screenshots of the screen in any mode (You can record your altitude, the pressure and the temp as It was at a specific time in order to confront it with actual value) and how You can directly access the chronometer function.❤❤
Rangeman for sure!
I have both of them and they're very good. I wear Rangeman more because it is much easier to adjust. Unfortunately Mudmaster's crown is clumsy to use. For me Rangeman blackout GW-9400-1BER is the king of G-Shocks.
In case you didn’t find a way to change the barometer unit to hpa, go to settings -> units and press the sensor button. The only watch that’s better than the Rangeman for hiking, is a digital Pro Trek model.
I have a few GShocks, my fav is GW9400 Full Balckout negative dial
I have the exact same gwg 2000 cant be happier.
Got the GWG 2000 A3 ! Love it !
Looks like a great meal and a wonderful companion!
I'm thinking of getting the 9400 1jf currently! 👍
HI and thanks for the video. I’ve been rocking my Rangeman GW-9400 for three years now and it is an AWESOME time piece. The GW-9400 comes in many different color options, please let me know why you pointed out it only comes in blackout. Bests regards from a Venezuelan viewer in Panama!
Mudmaster 🔥🔥🔥
Yeah for the average guy it makes more sense tbh it does enough and you can see it properly lol although Rangeman can be seen too 😄 the muddy just looks like it wants to look after you 😄
function accessibility wise. Rangeman. I have both.
RANGEMAN.......💪💪💪💪💪💪
KING OF G....
I have had both. Rangeman far superior for my case. Mudman display is not visible because of the hands.
The hands can be moved. What I like is hands as better for older eyes lol
@@wildaboutwatches thanks for your comment. The big hands is why I bought the watch and I found myself constantly moving them. I can see everything on the Rangeman I need and hit the mode button. The display is size is about the same so moving the hands was not something I wanted to do long term. Believe me when I sent it back I was regretting it until I got my Rangeman. Again 100% personal preference I think having a choice of these two makes me love Casio and Gshock
My two favourite watches, but really new GWG 2000 is amazing😮
Rangeman to work, Mudmaster for out on the town.
Nice rundown. I didn't know about the sunrise and sunset function on the Rangeman. Also the compass bearing function.
For me i prefer a watch with hands, i spend all my work and leisure time outdoors and i find hands easier to see in bright sun.
The gwg2000 is my daily wear.
The Gravitymaster master, the Rangeman and the Mudmaster GWG-1000 are keepers. I think you bought a dysfunctional Gravitymaster.
Hello
Yes unfortunately I had no luck with two of the types
The gg b100 and the helicopter inspired gravitymaster both didn't work in return home feature and are the only two I returned to the store
great presentation!! beautiful dog
Many thanks 😊
I have the Rangeman and I love it.
I think you need to test sensors on watches for understanding which one is more accurate.
Digital bests anadigi, less mechanics to go wrong.
A good point. Even though I usually prefer analogue to digital (because of the look), I would probably choose a digital version for a "survival in the zombie apocalypse". :-)
Wondering which of the two has the more accurate altimeter? Frustrating to pay that much for either of the two and have their altimeters vary by over 100 meters in altitude less than two minutes apart while standing in the same place. 445 meters on Mudmaster and 344 meters on the Rangeman. Not good. I have the Rangeman and the GWG-1000 and they do the same. Neither are accurate. G-Shock needs to either make these more accurate or remove the "feature" completely and lower the cost.
Interesting comments but remember they not been calibrated. Calibrate then we can compare. Thank you for stopping by :)
this is the reason i sold all of my g shocks. GGB100, GPR b1000, GW 9400.. the features arent ready to use.
The altimeter has to be set before reliable use. It works off of air pressure just like the barometer. Just set it at your current location before you need a measurement at the location your going to go.
@@He_isI exactly correct calibrate before use
Both sensors are the same but it only measures relative change in height not absolute height.
Great watches, I have the GW-9400 rangeman for years, and I'd one of the best casio watches. A couple weeks ago I bought the GW-9500 Mudman, it was on sale and it's slimmer than the rangeman. I am curious about the new rangeman with the heart rate monitor and GPS. But it's a rechargeable watch, solar assisted., so I am not decided if I add this to my collection.
Since I'm currently debating whether I should buy the 9400 or the 9500, I'll just ask you which one you prefer in the meantime. Or is there a tie when it comes to usage and functions?
@@knusperzwieback7697Good question. I like them both, the new mudman uses a different display with bigger digits and dual layer display fir the compass but the viewing angles are better on the gw - 9400. I don't recommend the negative display gw-9500, is horrible. I like the the one button start of the stopwatch on the rangeman, just press the lower right button and the stopwatch is running. The buttons are better on the GW-9400 rangeman, back in the days casio specified mud resistance, but after some time they deleted this info. The functions are mostly the same, But I prefer the GW-9500, it's slimmer and very robust. I also have the first generation mudmaster GWG 1000-1A3ER, and the legibility is the best, the lume is great, the hands and markers are very visible But I like the mudman,
@@fuloplehel Thanks for the fast respond. Then I'll just keep waiting for a good sale and then spontaneously decide on a watch... or not. ;-)
Maybe by then there will be one or two new Casio watches that I spontaneously like more. Let's see. 🙂
@@knusperzwieback7697 Interesting way to to buy a watch, I personally if I'm interested in a watch, I watch reviews about the functions, maybe I try it on. But in general I go for solar watches with multiband 6, and all the basic functions. But if you want sensors, altimeter, barometer, compass, in a standalone, no Bluetooth and cable charging, then now is the moment to decide. Casio is going to this semi smartwatch route with their new releases, and I don't like that. Citizen promaster series are a great alternative, I have the skyhawk, blue angels edition with 200 m water resistance and eco-drive solar movement. I'm waiting for the new citizen promaster combination watch, which is very similar to the mudmaster, but with the MIP display under the analog hands.
Thx I’m trying to figure out witch one I’m going to by I work as a security officer
Well if you go Rangeman the current model is black out screen very difficult to see. But these are on ebay new. The muddy is available but more expensive. If you're young good eyes Rangeman if bit older eyes slowly fading then those hands on muddy better.
Nice comparison 😀.. for me it is the mudmaster all the way.....
Yes for one and done and average joe as it were it makes most sense … we like all the way lol just getting it isn’t so easy always lol
Mudmaster gwg 2000 nooo doubt!!!!
Yes a run down on the Rangeman would be very much appreciated. 👏👏🍻
What were you cooking?
Hello and thank you for watching to the end to see what was cooking 🍳 😊 ribeye steak fried potatoes and peppers. My camping channel Tony Hobbs has that video ;) yes I really must get around to a rundown video on Rangeman thank you for asking 😊
@@wildaboutwatches it always looks better out side some how which it did 🍻
digital are better to read they just give you the numbers you want and you dont have to look and wait for watch hands the mudmaster screen is too small and i have to look and guess where the hands are is it closer to that number or that number. rangeman just tell me the numbers in easy to read formats.
I generally think analogue clocks are more stylish. Especially with the compass function, I think it's nice when the second hand points to the north pool. But I also have to say that if I were to buy a watch model like this, I would rather buy the digital one, as it is simply quicker to see the functions at a glance.
Rangeman
Well than how close is the thermometer on these?
The fact you can get a rangeman for sub $200 pretty easily says a lot. #rangrman for the win
Sub $200? Where? It must be a fake. I don't see any real ones under $330.
@@Mmoose74 i got a used one for $160 on eBay a bit ago lol -- looking to sell it now tho bc it's way too big on me
I got mine from TheBay in Canada for around 150$usd. G shocks are commonly on sale 20-40% off there
@@Isaac.Correa got mine from store in the bay in Vancouver 40% off a month ago
@@Mmoose74 I just ordered one for $240. If it is fake, I can return it.
This new GWG 2000 now has a steel ring bezel on top of its sapphire crystal. Do you think the bezel will be easily scratch when we bring it outdoor ?
I don’t think it’ll scratch much especially with those buttresses protecting it
Best just to buy them both 😂
How does the sunrise / sunset indicator work? How does watch take into account location (lat/long)?
You have to manually enter lat/long place you want to check sunset sunrise. BTW it is very strange that Mudmaster doesnt have this feature.
Or just enter time ie city and it then knows long lat for sunset etc
Indeed why on earth casio keep muddy so basic is beyond me. I love it but ffs add a feature for the price lol
@@wildaboutwatches Oh, that's really very useful information, thank you. :-) /NOT meant to be sarcastic
Do any of them come with GPS function?
If not which one could you recommend with GPS in addition to 3 sensors?
If you don't consider tough solar or design, the gw9400 can save you a lot more money
Gw9400 is solar-powered
If you don't consider tough solar, you can buy a G Shock under $100. That will save you even more money. :)
Hello, Would you recommend gw-9300 for lower budgets? I found it for 170 dollars, should I buy it?
Great explanation 👍🏼🙏🏼
Thank you 😊
I'm sorry it's just you kept saying bottom left but you were pushing bottom right
That doesn’t surprise my brain lol thank you for watching and supporting my channel
Trick question. Attempt the gg100. haha
For sure the GWG2000
Yeah I'd agree it looks right mean and cool but highly visible to older eyes 👀 😆 thanks for watching and popping down to comments always great to read what people say
The MudMaster is nice and of course a beast of a size. So what’s the story behind the rather inaccurate temp read out?
Hi Ray yeah we wish so warm. My hands holding it must be throwing it way off as look at both thry both similar lol maybe a video just leaving it on ground to climatise in order. Thank you for watching appreciate your time.
You got to hold it by the band when taking temperatures.
Special much?
Does the mudmaster have a power indicator, if not how do you know when the battery is getting low?
Yes
Took me ages to figure it out lol
When you long press bottom left or cycle to time bottom left when the time appears a letter is nect to the time M for medium power etc
@@wildaboutwatches Great, thank you for the respond!
GWG-2000 is bigger, heavier and more luxurious. There is a problem with the design of its strap, which makes it difficult to adjust to a satisfactory degree of elasticity. I seldom wear it at work, which is really uncomfortable. Even when hiking, the PRW series has the same functions as it and is lighter.
Ordered Gwg 2000 ..on the way. Im dying to see it. Got a 40% off in india.. just cant wait to have it on my very small wrist. Yet i dont give a damn.😂
Great review! Extraction was an awesome film! Chris Hemsworth recently wrapped filming on Extraction 2, can't wait: ruclips.net/video/mi4pEsYeljk/видео.html
Oh wow that is good I'll watch that thank you for link can't wait :)
Rangeman to me is a very unbalanced watch, huge ass watch that has a tiny bit for showing the time, both watches are have nothing special to offer tbh, between the 2 I would spend a little more and get the 2000, but it is way to big imo , but better than the 1000.
Absolutely agree tbh the Rangeman is nice but its huge for so little space. If your eyes are OK it's fine but for many the mudmaster is much much easier to read the time and for most that is the main thing
The compass on Rangeman is tiny too unfortunately. It has sunset sunrise times but that not essential.
ADJUNTO
The Rangeman but also the Mudmaster.
Pointless video just go to Casio and find the details you need.
But that is true for all if RUclips lol
I think you just got out of bed wrong side lol 😆
Pointless comment your opinion means nothing.
@@wildaboutwatches 🤣🤣🤣
Great video tx!
@@wildaboutwatches: more like he fell off the bed on his head...and once as a baby😂
All these people picking the rangeman overthe mudmaster.....probably because these people cant afford a mudmaster so show their bias
I think muddy far superior esp for every day use which most will use it for ....
