This is the model I wear 24/7. Even the mudmaster is just sitting in the watch box now. I'm 52 and I still have no problem reading it. Just looks super cool on the wrist, even for old guys!
I like negative displays on all these digital type watches.. Just looks way cooler.. I like the fact that on some the display is subdued.. I don't like a huge digital display that can be seen by everyone. I really like the 6900 military blackout g shock.. the screen is so faint everyone bitches about it, but I personally enjoy it. Unless you have bad eyesight it's not a big deal.
The tins are for the international models. The japanese market versions come with the nicer packaging, and sometimes better qualities like the carbon fiber band in this case
Man, I keep wishing Casio would release this model with a positive display screen. I love the stealthy looks but absolutely can’t deal with not being able to see the screen. I have the regular version, but the reflection from the front silver screws drives me nuts.
MAV really appreciate your videos. Very clear and helpful. Is sad that some watchers don't appreciate your time and availability for e.g. show us, appreciators of this beauties that there is a carbon fiber band option for this model. Is a very important piece of information and everyone should be thankful. I have the GW-9400 - 1 negative display and is awesome. I need to put my hands on this model too. keep on doing this great videos! thanks!
How are you doing with the champion watch? I would like to buy it for all the functions it brings, but I am somewhat demotivated that it does not have resistance to mud, at least that says the product specifications, do you know something about the subject? do you know if it has a filter like mudmasters?
Not to be a pain on this video, but after seeing one of your other vids it reminded me that G shocks are in fact resin/plastic. I have several already and because I have many watches, they are meant to last forever as none get that much wrist time. But will they? Should I count on the plastic watches to last and keep adding more G's to my collection only to have straps disintegrate? Will the case itself become shiny as it starts to get old and decompose? Or should I just keep what I've got for now, don't go any further and focus on steel watches?
got the watch 2 weeks ago from eBay ...love this watch added on the bull bar protector....looks more tough....want the GWF 1000 frogman and the GWG Mudmaster, love live Casio G shock solar...have a nice day
Love the screen on my Gr b100 g shock. It is programmable. Very legible. I think it is called dot matrix display. Really hoped they implemented it on this.
Is the keeper IS BLACK???? Thank you for the review, I have the olive drab color/model and really love everything about it. Some people say they can't view it enough, but I disagree. I just think they need to get used to the negative display, because the regular one is tricky too sometimes depending on the light and angle. Some of the older ones with negative display were hard to see but they've gotten better. Casio had no choice but to step their game up, because the other companies did have a better negative display. Honestly, it could get a little better though, Garmin does have a more defined contrast with their negative display. I just needed to have a watch that was self-sustaining, and didn't need love every 40 hrs. to charge. Garmin does have the solar option, but, it still isn't self-sustaining like the G shock. G shock is in a class of it's own, considering the abuse you can put them through. This watch will outlive me!
The keeper is black, but let me tell you having this watch being my everyday wear-watch, it scratches easily. I bought the Japan version from the link in the vid, and come to think of it, I would buy the EU/USA version without the carbon straps for half the price next time.
You say it's super legible and then the instant you turn your powerful studio light off and the light becomes more natural in the room the display becomes barely legible.
Can you have the compass programmed to be on the home screen rather than having to press the side button three times to reach the compass after the altimeter?
Got my rangeman 9400 positive display on jomashop for 165.00$ brand new and bought my 2nd rangeman on Macy's app with 30% off which came to 128.75$ plus got a free GSHOCK shaker bottle, would love to have the Japan model but lord for that price it just makes more sense to buy the bands separately. Be safe and shock on.

@AN N Too bad! Thanks for your reply friend and I do completely agree on what you said about the Rangeman's negative display, I used to have the olive green with the negative display but I sold it to my friend co'z I find it difficult to read the time. This is why I asked if this one have the STN display.
And you can buy those bands off tiktox or several other websites or ebay for alot cheaper even the outer bezel. I bought the desert camo bezel and bands for 33.00 on ebay and also the blackout bezel and carbon fiber bands as well and got them for 45.00$ usd, no bad which I still have the positive display but still looks great.
I have a question, if you are in the dark room or evening outside, when you raise your hand to see time, will backlight be turned on automatically or you have to push that button to turn on the light? It seems it can be automatically turned on when you raise your hand but I am not quite sure, do you know?
You can push the light button or if you activated the automatic light function, the light will turn on if you lift your wrist.. Oh and it will detect if you in a bright place the auto light will not turn on the light if you lift your wrist
@@JollyGiant1213 You have to be pretty fvcking stupid not to see the words CARBON FIBRE as he shows the inner part of the strap and carbon fibre..... Stupid people deserve zero patience.
:17 seconds in, "can't do this". I had a Rangeman (Olive) with negative display, G King negative display. (sold them all on ebay) cannot do the neg displays anymore. There are a couple that use a digit color that is a little better on the neg display, but many are soooo dim. The red color is very dim, the rangeman was like a tan color digit and it was too light. You can only see these things in direct light as it reflects, or in total darkness with the light. In low light, or dusk, it's not legible. And like you Mav, I like watches with big readable displays, like that Timex Expedition big screen TV. LOL
"Good afternoon, please tell me, maybe someone knows how to correctly calibrate the thermometer on the G-Shock 9400 Rangeman". support.casio.com/storage/en/manual/pdf/EN/009/qw3410.pdf
Angus and Coote, Goldmark and Myer just to name a few. There's also a online store called GLife watches that's based in Queensland. I buy all my G-shocks from them and they are the real deal.
My Suunto core military was negative display only. It could not be flipped to positive. And the Suunto display was way worse than G shock. I wanted to buy it for a year, wore it for 2 days, sold it on ebay the 3rd. So sad. The contrast on Suunto is so bad. The entire display gets light and the digits a little more light, but the light on Suunto was very poor, not bright enough to see unless you're in total darkness and eyes adjusted. But out on a run in late afternoon or early evening? Can't see anything. Have to stop, cup my hand around it and use the light and put it up to my eye, or find light and angle it into the light until I can see the reflection. It was terrible. If people have any issues with their eyes, wear glasses, getting older, ie, late 30's or 40's. Avoid negative.
Makes me so angry, because in all the photos and videos you can see the time very easily, but that's because the watches are all in well lit studios, etc.
I like these but I wish they had text and call notifications as well color map navigation built in as other high end models do. They get those updates and they’ll be the complete watch!

I bought the Rangeman GW-9400BJ-1JF (Black Panther) because of your video. Thanks for the incredible amount of detailed information!
I have got this and when i am in casual gear it stays on my hand for days love it
First time ever watching a video of yours . You sound very similar to Seth Rogan lol .

GW9400 is icon of all G
Wow , very nice. I am not normally not a fan of the reverse LCD , but this is nice. I am also a Casio watch junkie.
Ooo yeah, finally a great review with HQ video and good lighting. This color variant is awesome!
Thanks so much!
Man, I keep wishing Casio would release this model with a positive display screen. I love the stealthy looks but absolutely can’t deal with not being able to see the screen. I have the regular version, but the reflection from the front silver screws drives me nuts.

I just got mine today.. super cool watch with tons of functionality
I just got a GW7900B-1 in all black, mostly because I prefer the EL backlight. But this looks pretty good too.
Great video! Thank you, GW-9400 is truly best looking g-shock in my opinion. BTW you sound just like The Wolfe Pit lol.
He does! Haha

Thx for the review, bought it with your code, thx again!
Recieved it today: Total different box, no master of G box, no blue lined box, just a smaller box.
Just ordered my positive display about 20 minutes ago can’t wait to get it !
Real king is gw9400 this never die!
I've been waiting for this watch. This is awesome blackout.
I don't like most gshocks but this one is badass
i'm guessing the LCD performance is the same as the 56 bb king negative, which is shit if you use it mostly indoors with low difused soft lighting..
I hope it's better than my 5600 BB. Even outside it isn't that easy to read. They just look cool in the internet.
Might be my first Rangeman
Off wrist,this Rangeman super dope,but on wrist a regular Rangeman more cool. This black Rangeman looklike GR8900A-1 on wrist
Happy 20K!
Thank you sir!
Ive got one, and i love it! :-)
I have the positive display model and also have the GWG 1000 1A1. I want this watch but not sure about the negative display. Love the all black!
I have the 9400 as well. Love the gwg1000. Also thinking of getting this blacked out version, I prefer positive display as well
got the watch 2 weeks ago from eBay ...love this watch added on the bull bar protector....looks more tough....want the GWF 1000 frogman and the GWG Mudmaster, love live Casio G shock solar...have a nice day
Watch out Amazon has a GW 9400 1B for sale with a picture of the Japan version!
Resists mud? is there a difference between mudmasters? I would appreciate your answer
This is mud resistant too. But the mudmasters are even more protected against mud
I wish this had a positive display instead of the negative... it’s just too hard to read the time

Yea Idk why digital master of G watches don't have an stn display like the full metal squares.
Standard Rangman with positive display is far easier to read and a full $200 less expensive!

No
Solar?
@@donniesteen4982 yes bro
Did the date and time just automatically come on when you opened up the box
yes it has a sleep mode function! pretty cool and saves battery too!
Although this looks like something Batman would wear, the standard gw9400 with the positive display is FAR easier to read & $200 less expensive.

Hay diferencia de la versión japonesa a la internacional? Ya que el japonés es más caro pero vale la pena el gasto?
What’s a good price in the US on this watch
so the only difference is the bands strength? are there any other benefits
Only difference is carbon fiber band for an additional $80 and $200 more than standard Rangeman that has a far easier to read positive display.
And you can buy those bands off tiktox or several other websites or ebay for alot cheaper even the outer bezel. I bought the desert camo bezel and bands for 33.00 on ebay and also the blackout bezel and carbon fiber bands as well and got them for 45.00$ usd, no bad which I still have the positive display but still looks great.
