Gotta love a dude somehow making a video out of promotional material and just reading the easily accessible data for 80% of it, the other 20% he fills with conjecture and rambling. What a time to be alive.
Dr. Kutulu is currently living at home with his Grandma... Dr. Kutulu wants to find friends but has no social skills... if you can help him please send him a foot pump and 20% towards another blowup adult toy... Thank you
@@Daud76 I'm sure he'll come back with some conjecture rambling at 82.2% Wonder what kind of Doctor he is, and if he has a Tardis or is that a Turdis??? I much prefer a DeLoren Doc Brown time machine :)) Cheers buddy... and thanks for being one of the nice guys!
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman I am eagerly awaiting his reply. If any.. and yes. Doc Brown had an awesome tyre burning time travel DeLoren for sure. A definite improved update to the one designed by cigar bending Wells (who was so fixated on dresses and who has me wondering how much man he really is in his future battle against humanoids afraid of the light). 😄 You are most welcome and thank you all the same. 😊
My GPS was fucking trash after a tiny ass mountain trail they need to team up with Google and get better maps the apl was garbage My scroll buttong got squishy and wouldn't scroll in the wanted direction Great looking watch and loved having it on my wrist tbh but I ended up taking it apart and throwing it in the trash id love to get another one but idk Im gonna wait for the second version or something or maybe the second version of this They should've teamed up with garmin on this tbh Why can't companies ask for help and give us amazing products
@@bread8609 G-Shock HiFashion had a crown issue and ended up sending it back to CASIO who fixed it... can't believe you threw yours away :( Why can't companies talk directly with users as even Garmin make a hash of things... one day TOYOTA will make a watch LML :-P Which bin did your GPR-B1000 go in, as a spare carbon strap would be good to hand, buckle and keeper plus the bezel, sapphire maybe handy, the GPS antenna, MIP display, pushers, ceramic back case, charger, box, battery, circuit board, screws, sensors and the carbon resin body... all these parts are usable... well at least you made it back safe :))
@@mareknowakowski1692 The GPR-B1000 is the 2020 Rangeman... it's not like an Apple Watch when a new one has to be released every few months because they're outdated... the GPR-B1000 is still and will always be an incredible G-Shock just like the original GW-9400 Rangeman :) If there is to be a new one, they better talk to us G-Addicts first, and not someone fresh and useless out of university LML :-P
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman That is why I want to order it this week, the green /yellow version .The new G Shock Move looks good as well too, still considering which one to choose.
Thanks for a great review. I have both watches and your functionality is spot on. Rangeman.....I rely on for survival. H1000 is my Fitbit replacement. Good points of H1000. Faster GPS acquisition when worn on wrist. 20 seconds compared to 2 minutes (average). Vibrate alert, call and text alert (really needs a microphone like the Apple Watch allowing you to take calls. Battery life (superb), back light and finally comfort. Bad points....Flimsy strap, glass scratches, complicated menus, some alerts are meaningless, overall durability not what you would expect from a G-shock. If you could put the GPS, and Battery from the H1000 into the Rangeman you would have the perfect watch. Hope that this is useful.
Comments like these really help others... I like the channel to be a place that shows a real honest experience from viewers, as we know a few channels take money over being genuine. Thank you so much, this is great... also what bike do you ride? Looks Honda??? Cheers!
WatchUP69 Mr Rangeman Have a variety of bikes. Turbo Hyabusa, Triumph Thunderbird Sport and my pride and joy is Karl Fogartys Ducati that I bought at auction. The picture is many moons back and is a Honda Fireblade. I am 75 now so I don’t get out as often as I would like. Great channel, keep the reviews coming. By the way, I collect watches. Have some really rare beauties
@@johnlancaster119 Great toys, especially the Turbo Busa, now that will thrash my ZX12R :( I like Triumphs no matter where they're made these days... and anything from Foggy is special, am impressed! I've got also the original Africa Twin RD03 650 made by HRC which is my favourite bike, been on many many tours with that beauty :) Cheers for sharing and thanks for the feedback and support :))
Thanx for the comparison. Yes the rangeman look and feel way better. Don't envy the vibration feature bc it takes away from the battery and the rangeman is a battery conservative life saver watch.
I'm actually looking at micro 3v vibe motors and wondering if I could fit that inside the Rangeman??? But then again I don't really set the alarms or timer, I use it more for the ABC and navigation/point memos. Cheers for the feedback my friend :)
This video aged like fine milk. 2022 Difference between the 2: You can't get GPR-B1000 Rangeman anymore. Thank you Casio. The less attractive G-Squad was intended to replace the much nicer Rangeman after all.
@@StardustLegacyFighter come on, let's be honest, 99% of G-shock watches are sold because people love the looks, not because the customer need the rugged watch, so I think we can discuss the looks specially when they retired a new product to release other questionable ones.
UR absolutely right. G Squad and GPR are uncoparable. G Squad is a very sophisticated smart band for fit maniacs. GPR is a ugly tactical/survival electronic multitool. My heart belong to GPR without any questions.
I'm getting some feedback that the GBD-H1000 is based upon fitness training and running, so anyone wanting to know more information with regards to riding a bicycle say it's not the greatest. For running it's perfect, and seen a few have turned to the Instinct by Garmin. Personally for me, I'm all about navigation and the GPR is my watch between them both. I was going to review the GBD-H1000 but as its focus is upon the fitness and running, then it's best left to the likes of DC rainmaker and the other fitness guy who are into this side, so have pulled away from that review, as I would only review it upon the ABC functions, and because I'm breathing, I don't need a watch to tell me that my heart is beating LML :-P Cheers buddy :)
Yes indeed the vibe alert is a one the most useful features you could have on any watch for that matter. More often than not the alarm sounding off is often too low a volume. Would I be the only one who seems to think the volume has dropped considerably over the years on Casio watches? Light flashes is not a bad idea but vibe is even better idea.
I've been telling CASIO to listen to their fans to add ((VIBE)) as standard to all new G-Shocks... still rate my GD-350 as that is my wake-up ((VIBE)) alarm :)) The G-7700 has a good light flash... will post a review and tutorial of that soon :))
Fantastic... I've yet to see one, but the MIP display is the same as the GPR... cheers for the update... you posting on G-Shock Collectors WORLDWIDE? Cheers :)
Got one question. Is it possible to do a quick switch between altimeter, barometer and compass on the Rangeman or display it in different screens? While I’m hiking I like to switch between these functions quick and easy without using a crown and scrolling. On my GBD-H1000 it works, I can switch between ABC with only one button. Also in training mode I have 3 different screens where I can customise the shown informations including the ABC data’s. I ask, because I’m additionally interested for the Rangeman because of it’s navigation features and it’s “Master of G” quality ;-)
@@wolfgangtraxl812 I like how you have the ABC from home screen, the GPR doesn't have this, the quickest way is one press on the mode button, scroll down and there is the ABC, but you'll need to scroll to choose, while in navigation you do have a quicker view to altimeter if it's already opened... but compass no... you can opt to show the barometer in home screen which stays on. The GPR is more navigation with the ABC not far away... and of course there's the premium materials as it's a Master of G :) I must say one thing, the icons on the GBD-H1000 such as LT look tiny and seem dotted around... the GPR has this more focused at the bottom at a good size... what is your view upon this? Cheers buddy :)
@@traviswalker8933Nope. Why would the predecessor get discontinued? It makes no sense for Casio to do that, considering that the GWG-1000 is still around, even though the GWG-2000 has already been out for a year.
Good video. For me the rangeman is one of the best watches you can find on the market. The new one is good for working out. If I am to go hiking, for a long trip i’ll pick the rangeman. Thanks for the video.
Hey buddy... was you thinking the same as me, wondering if this new GBD-H1000 is an Rangeman upgrade? Good to have choice and can see these G-Squads doing well... must be the first proper fitness watch with 200m water resist :)
Awww man, I have surely missed your videos. This watch is the one I'm most excited about this year, so thanks for the impromptu review with limited access! I hope you are able to get your hands on an example after it releases as there are probably more viewers interested in its advanced workout features than the Rangeman trek stuffs. Keep safe, brother!
Cheers buddy... I would have to agree with you, the fitness side is much more in demand, so it's good G-Shock have now taken this side :) Looks good on paper and on their short videos... one question, is this too close to the Instinct as that has the navigation, but the Squad has O2 sensor??? I would love to review one, but I don't do running, so would have to find a fit lady for that side, could be a tough job LML :-P Mrs Rangeman wouldn't need to know, unless she hides my GPR-B1000 Rangeman on me and uses it as a tracker LML :-P Cheers for the support... stay well my friend :))
Welcome back and glad to have found your new channel. Great video on comparing the GPR-B1000 and the GBD-H1000. I have some catching up to do on your latest videos now.
Hey buddy... so pleased you found me again... details are on my Instagram account if you want to be nosey LML :-P Seems this video is a popular choice, so am pleased Simple 1i mentioned the idea :)) Please watch the LORUS video, and the end part... cheers :))
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman Unfortunately, I don't use Instagram and not the nosey type LOL! I am glad you are back because I find your videos informative, resourceful and also entertaining. Have a blessed day and keep the great videos coming!
Thank Simple 1i as it was his idea the most... I just edited the pictures and added all the stuff with my Rangeman, as that's the main point I was wondering... cheers :))
Thank you my dear friend :) When Simple 1i mentioned about doing this video I wasn't sure how it would work, as most of the time when making videos with no watch to hand usually gets the flakes upset, but am really pleased that so many think it was done well. I thought putting it next to the Rangeman would answer many questions, as I for one was thinking is It a replacement to the GPR-B1000 but with my research found it's actually something completely different, which is a good thing. I think they've gone in the right direction as it's not a smart watch, so will have plenty and plenty of life long use I'm sure. Price seems to be good, and it's still a 200m G-Shock, so that must be a first, as most of these activity watches are only rated to 100m. You can see the difference in build next to the Rangeman, and it clearly it clearly shows how the Rangeman is priced the way it is, with the secondary market still strong on them. I would guess these will sell like hot buns, then settle to a price around £350 Male £300. I was thinking to have the Instinct in the equation but that again is something different, plus it has no O2 sensor. Looks like the app works well from the videos I've seen, and should be a very useful tool to monitor your activities. Thanks again
The lug to lug size seems a little large to me, but with the amount of research they all stated that size... we'll see when it finally comes to hand... I thought is was a Rangeman upgrade, so good to know it has its own category :)) Cheers for the feedback my dear friend :)
Hey... new channel as old one was removed because of a April fools video I posted... seems the joke was taken seriously and a big corporation went hissy fitting... details on my Instagram... but am back, and have lot a lot of my content, so having to now build up my inventory and some videos took a very long time to make... but I did re-make the GRP-B1000 Rangeman full tutorial video which is better in my opinion... thanks for finding me... hope you're well these days :))
WatchUP69 Mr Rangeman I am so sorry about that :/. I had no idea! Thank you for letting all of us know! Im so glad it did not deter you from continuing to create such amazing informative videos! I bought my rangeman GRP-B1000 because of your extensive review and test trials for my adventures into the wilderness. So thank you😊.
@@jazsoutdooradventures I was thinking about jacking it all in... but my passion is to strong to give up, and I enjoy helping and sharing... had a lot of support from other channels that I've become good friends with along with subscribers... I'm Mr Rangeman and he's a tough guy both in fiction and real life :) So had to include that in the new title... btw, that name was given to me by a subscriber which I liked and it stuck, and it seems many like it too... You can see Mr Rangeman in my new LORUS video, there will be more so stay tuned... thanks again and hopefully this channel stays solid :)
Cheers buddy... not shabby without the watch hey, think I fooled many at the end... but decided not to review one in the hand, as it's really more about running, and I'm more travelling :)
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman I actually found out a lot of features didn't know it had other reviews just bang on about the fitness and heart rate thing and never touch on all the actual G-Shock stuff. Mini me Rangeman love it! 🤣👍 Actually thinking of getting one and so far yours was the best review of the whole package! Just need to actually see and touch one with my own eyes and little digits! As worry it may be too large. For daily use. Considering one of the new MIP units so been checking all the reviews
@@paulmcnamara16 Cheers buddy... not bad without actually having the watch to hand, but informations can drift, so wanted to show it was a different watch, not a new Rangeman. If you want MIP and compact, maybe the Garmin Instinct???
I've posted the reason on my Instagram if you want to know all the details, plus you can message me there to know more, as I don't want to really chat about it on here.... Great to see you again, and thanks for finding me again :)
Nice comparison. Your conclusion, though: I don't think the GBD-1000 was created thinking of "the world turned ugly" scenarios, so that preference is really subjective. I'm personally much more interested in the GBD, for working out and hiking. Never felt the need for a "save my life" kind of watch. That's the nice thing about G-Shocks, there's a model for each purpose and personal style.
Cheers buddy :) I was referring to the Rangeman being the one I would choose if whatever happened, but that's just a side that G-Shocks have become, a loyal piece of kit that's always ready :) The GBD-H1000 looks good for the fitness side, and it's another series of G-Shocks that spreads it further still for choice :) I wasn't sure how I was going to make such a video when Simple 1i mentioned it, but one thing that crossed my mind, was it an upgrade... but with much research it was actually another addition to the line up, so wanted to show them the best way possible next to each other with the content that's available without having the actual watch, and not make it about which is better, they're for different purposes and can live with each other, and I think the G-Squad is priced well, as the Rangeman is still a chunk of money. I'm glad CASIO didn't go smart watch and kept it to their module type :) I've done a few tutorials on the Garmin Fenix and Instinct, another two great watches I own. It's all down to your needs and what you want from a watch of this type... the Fenix 6 Pro is an incredible watch and one I chose when I need a route planned that requires a lot more details because of the maps that are installed in the watch... so the question, do you spend another £125 and go for the Fenix 6 Pro???? That's a tough one as we know G-Shocks will outlive any smart watch of today. Cheers for the message and thanks for the feedback, as I thought this video being that it has no physical watch would get slammed :-P
So I ended up biting the bullet on the MOVE. It is the coolest watch I've ever worn. I was over the moon until I found out it didn't have an hourly chime. Does the Rangeman have hourly chime?
Hey buddy, congrats and hope the lack of the hourly signal stops you from sending it back... the GPR-B100 also has no hourly SIG... they're not really an everyday watch due to the size, they're more tool watches.
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman I am not sending it back. It's a cool gadget. But the reality is, had I known it didn't come with chime, I would not have bought it 😐
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman I use chime a lot. It's not critical, but it immensely helps me not lose track of time. Why would they remove chime from the next gen Gs? It is TERRIBLY counter intuitive. Does chime really consume that much resources? LIKE EVERY DIGITAL watch after 1856 has it? It's like buying a freaking Land Cruiser without a stereo system. Because Land Cruisers aren't made for music 🥴🥴 I am totally bummed. What a mindless thing to do take out the chime. Ruined my experience. And I'm like a bona fide Master of G. They let me down Ranger... They let me down.
@@shimaalcarrim7949 I would agree, but I feel it's a much higher figure, but this is based on G-Shock collectors, as those who use them as intended aren't interested in having many watches... my postman wears a G-Shock, but wouldn't watch a channel like mine, they're just wanting a solid watch that can handle the work pace and cope with all weathers.
Thanks for the review! I own several G-SHOCKS and have been doing research lately to make the jump to a fitness watch - I've been strongly considering the Garmin FR945, until seeing this. Torn now, when I'm partial to the G-SHOCK brand
It's just a basic review with the information that only to hand in written format... it's needs a full review and tutorial on this one so you can really see all its treasures... looks good and focused on the fitness side with some good features... not sure it has tides/moon as nowhere is mentioned . Wait for a review before going to the next stage... if you're just after tracking your fitness then those Instincts are brilliant, if you need more ruggedness then G-Shock and if you need more mapping details then the Fenix 6 Pro and up. Like me if you're into your G-Shocks then this looks very attractive... there is also the side of stability with G-Shocks with regards to their software... cheers :)
Thanks for the sub, I'm honoured :)) Cheers for the feedback, as I was thinking these kinds of videos always get the haters as there is no watch in the hand, but I faked one at the end with printing it on paper LML :-P
I was thinking all time about this subject. Rangman expensive and g-squad more affordable and looks the same. Your video answered all my questions. Thank you. Hope very soon to see a review about it. Your narrative voice is very good.
@@meshmesh22 Thank you... your feedback helps to iron out the very few that moan about my Clarkson voice, well with all the beings on this planet you're bound to find someone who sounds like another... apparently I have my spitting image in Spain :)) My aim is not to slap my lips, say the word Ummm and try not to swallow and it isn't easy I can say when you are dyslexic too :-P Glad the video helped, and I'm still shocked it hasn't had bad press because of no hands on, just stollen video from the official G-Shock website... the good thing about CASIO is they appreciate the attention and never take any royalties away which feels appreciated :) Thanks again... now I need to work on more content as this video wasn't on my plan :))
When will be see a full WatchUP69 analysis of the GBD-H1000 and a study of all its functions?! I haven't found a good one on RUclips yet and I'm desperate to learn more about the watch. Cheers mate!
Hey buddy... well I was geared up to review one in the hand, but the further I understand it, it's not going to be a G-Shock I would use, mainly because it's more focused on training and running, and doesn't cover the cycling side... you're better off with an Instinct, this really does do everything plus it's lighter and more compact. I'm reading mix feeling about the GBD-H1000, so unless you're a runner only, then it may not fulfil your needs??? Cheers
Thank you my friend... stay with the Fenix, this is more gimmick the most... and CASIO need to really get used to it, that unless they make something that's going to match or better, then just steer away.... the GPR-B1000 Rangeman in my personal opinion was the last greatest push G-Shock have done for a while, and their smart watches are fancy, but touch screen for an outdoor watch is a fail, a big fat one, and you know what it's like in the rain, it needs to be buttons only and have a good continuous backlight... my next video will cover this, and showing how the Garmin Instinct makes a great night watch :)) Cheers for the support my friend... you have been binge watching :)) You around next week for a call???
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman yes I'll ping you a message :) I need to be careful tbh and not get carried away with g shock. Whilst the B100 is nice it clearly isn't for me and we will investigate this in future videos soon. Its ready to be returned sadly probably lose the customs fees but at least it serving a purpose. If there are any g shocks you think worth my consideration let me know moving forward esp new ones RUclips kind to me there lol and might be worth a look if I like it.
@@wildaboutwatches A good side by side next to the new GWG-2k would be good before you send it back... understand it's a between watch for you, as the Fenix really offers all you need when out in the field, mainly as it stands alone with built in mapping :) With regards to looking at other G-Shocks, well it's all again down to your needs, and you could end up with the same old same, so it just comes down to the looks department the most, and I'm not sure if that's enough for you??? The GPR-B1000 would be interesting, but feel you'll see this as a sluggish brute next to the Fenix, but if your adventures went more a far and you have no means to external power like a power brick, then the GPR-B1000 would be king :)) Maybe if you're into the more premium of watches, what about looking at MR-G???
@@Mark-P You did Mark, and when someone asks I say because of you.... you started it and others followed and I liked it... better than being called 'ROLEX' as no matter how you try to say it, it always sounds feminine... try it and you'll hear what I mean LML :-P (Hush though as that's a clue to an upcoming video I have to mind, so just keep in memory for now and all be clear :))
Great vid/comparison (especially without the watch) it has some pretty cool functions that’s for sure (would also be spewing if they managed to squeeze in 100ths or 10ths of a sec on the stopwatch!) but unless they do closer in build quality to the GPR I won’t worry about one (unless I wanna get fit🤔🤪)! Again well done and thanks for sharing 👍🍻
Sorry made a mistake, it has 10 stop watches and 100 laps times, with a countdown of 5secs with a flashing LED.... Then I woke up LML :-P Cheers for the feedback my good man... I hope you feel more at ease knowing it's a full on fitness watch :-P
For a daily wear to track your activity it looks good... I'm just not sure if the mentioned lug to lug width is correct, but with all the searching they all said the same size... only time will tel hey :)
Yeah slightly bigger than a rangeman will be an issue for some but I'm not concerned and seeing one screengrab on you're video it seems to including ascent in metres climbed so that answers my question as it's the only thing I wanted it to include that hasn't been fully mentioned in press literature but it's something I've used in past fitbits etc so with that I think it will be a purchase but you're right to get the same level of materials as the rangeman it would be rangeman price also and not many would pay £799 retail for a activity watch
@@robjeffels I spent quite a while piecing all the info together so I could build a video from it... it needed to be something different, and having the Rangeman involved was the side I know many are curious about... "there's a new kid on the block and the Rangeman is out" well it's a new kid, but it's just a mate not a threat :) Glad you found the detail you needed, if you playback in slo-mo you'll catch it all, but wanted the video to blast past quickly so you end up watching it all as you're drawn in.... did you watch till the end out of curiosity? There was something I did that only one other has spotted, and thought it would get more comments about it that's all :)) Cheers!
Cheers buddy... just had a comment saying the opposite to you... stolen pictures and video with rambling voice over... I guess they're sitting on a mountain of toilet paper thinking it's a castle LML :-P I would like to see it around $350 then it's very hard to ignore... Cheers for passing :))
Being a big G-Shock fan, I really appreciate the summary. After vacillating over whether to buy the Garmin 6 and or the Pro Trek WD-30, reading reviews for both and assessing cost, this might be the best compromise. I think I will wait until someone I trust, (maybe Watchup69 ?) has the opportunity to review the actual device.
The WD-30 is also a navigational watch, but if you need more upon the fitness tracking then this G-Squad looks fantastic... if you need this and the mapping and navigation then the Fenix 6 Pro. CASIO are you listening?? L=:))) I would show it how it is like I always do... then it's up to you to make the choice as that's how I do my reviews... none of that fancy pant stuff from me LML :-P Should be out soon so hopefully some good reviews come from it, not sure if they'll go geek like me with it ??? :-P
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman Actually. I've watched all of your reviews (and I mean all) I guess what really impresses me about what I'm hearing of this watch,in addition to the pulse and O2, is the battery life and solar. I already have the Rangeman (loved following your trip through the Alps) was just trying to pace my inclination to buy all of them ;-)
@@billhughes9648 I can understand the addiction :) I'm guessing once the battery reaches a certain level it'll do what the Rangeman does, and just continue with the ABC side. Thank you for the support and glad you enjoy my epic tutorials. HaPpY Easter weekend my friend :))
The G-Shock Move and Rangeman are two different beasts, especially as the latter is Master of G. Neither is meant to replace the other, and the Rangeman is barely two years old. The original Rangeman has been around for years and I don’t see any reason the 2018 model will be replaced any time soon. These aren’t Apple Watches or smartphones.
Thank you my dear friend... I did use a lot of content from the official G-Shock website, so can't take all the credit, probably took five minutes to edit LML :-P This took a long while, and the size chart is mine 100% so may upload that for some fun and so anyone can download it. Thanks for the support and have a great start to the week :)
Great Review as always - this is an Indoor / Outdoor Fitness tool whilst the Rangeman is an All Terrain trekking & travel beast ..... no comparison really IMHO ..... both are tool watches for specific purposes ........but why don't they have an HOURLY CHIME is my only gripe !! its so useful ion daily life to have a sense of time passage I think.
Good question... I can understand that the Orangeman has no hourly SIG because it’s a survival tool... but this new GBD-H1000 is more down to earth that it’s for daily use... but yet has no SIG... so my conclusion is that these types of watches are for those who don’t worry about how the day passes, or the person responsible has simply had a genius idea that his decision alone was to remove a feature that is featured in every single G-Shock that has ever been made... i’m sure they’re well on the way to the place of looking for a new job while buried in a concrete coffin.
I pre-ordered the black one from Casio. I waited a long time for a G-Shock with notifications. I feel like i'm probably the market they were trying to reach out to as other than the look, ruggedness, steps, heart rate and notifications the additional diehard stuff i wouldn't even use. I have a Samsung Galaxy Watch 46mm now. My only concern with this is going to be the size as I never had a watch this large other than a Protrek model but Wear OS was terrible and it wasn't this thick but i am also assuming it is designed to fit overall much better. Does it make any sense to add some kind of screen protector to these? Clearly it's extremely rugged but i wouldn't mind preventing screen scratching if that's a potential issue. Looking forward to it.
It shouldn't really need it too much, it'll probably be years before enough scratches accumulate for you to notice them. Only other concerns would be for it's ability to gather light efficiently for it's solar recharge. Something to think about I guess
It's a tough call with this one... if dirt gets trapped underneath then than could leave worse marks... My father once placed clear plastic on one of his cars seats to protect them when it comes to sell... but when he removed them the sun had bleached the cover and it looked terrible... sometimes things are made for purpose.
To be honest, I wouldn't bother... upon one knock the protector will be marked and then probably start to come away with heat and water, then dirt gets sandwich and then just looks ugly... but if you feel that's what you need then I see Brian has been kind enough to leave a link :) With 101g this a light watch especially for the features... nice silicon strap with plenty of adjustments and vents so looks like it will be a fantastic fit, maybe better than the Rangeman for sure with regards to fit. It looks like it has all you need to track your activity and none of that fancy stuff which is just for nothing... button operation is my choice, as touch screens get confused when wet... The price looks great, and can see these getting a big hit, as so far these types of fitness watches are't durable enough, and this is also durable inside as it's a hybrid... will outlive anything of todays smart watches :) Excited for you my friend :))
Часы отличные! G shock сделали лучшие часы с зарядкой от солнца! Услышали наши желания. Столь необходимые для автономности и самим назначением часов, а не телефона. А также объединили protrek с максимальной защитой и достаточной глубиной погружения! Огромное спасибо инженерам casio thanks!!!
Спасибо за ваш комментарий ... Я надеюсь одолжить один из этих G-Squads, чтобы сделать мой собственный обзор и тестирование ... на данный момент есть только несколько, у которых есть эти часы, но еще никто не тестировал их полностью ... выглядит хорошо, просто надеюсь, что он не слишком велик для тех, кто любит это новое поколение G-Shock?
I have a feeling it'll be like when the GMW-B5000 all stainless was released, and the prices went pretty crazy at £600 almost, now looking the market for a perfect used one they're down to around £250... I would think £350 is about top dollar so to speak but could see them resting around £300 once they've been out for 6 months or so. It's in the right time too for such a watch, as we're limited to what time we can spend outdoors and all of a sudden there's a spurge of people going around in fitness outfits, sort of reminds me of the 80's LML :-P
even without the watch... well I'm hoping to get the chance to review and do tutorials on it... also some tests that nobody will even think of... yeah, I will do this one a great deal of justice... needs a full tutorial and no one has done that yet... so far all looking like they don't know where to begin LML :-P Cheers and thank Simple 1i as it was his idea for me to make such a video :)
Happy to see a video from you 😊 I absolutely agree with the statements! A sports watch and a real navigation watch, similar but for completely different uses! BTW your videos don’t show up in my subscribed list??? There is your name, but no videos, the page is just black??? I was worried that you are ill, but all seems to be ok! 😊
Hey my good friend, good to hear from you :) You remember that April fools video I made last year when I was outside ROLEX in Biel, well they didn't find the funny side and made a legal complaint at me saying I'm selling counterfeit watches... well RUclips acted and removed my channel, even though none of my content has breached any of their guidelines! Absolutely crazy hey, and lost much of my content... so will post what I have saved in-between new content like this one. My channel is now 'WatchUP69 Mr Rangeman' I had to re-make the tutorial on the GPR-B1000 and I think it's better, so some good has come from it :) Thanks for finding me, and hope others will too :) Hope you and your family are well and keeping busy :)) We are all well just to add, keeping safe and out of trouble, well me particular as I'm on the naughty boy list now LML :-P
WatchUP69 Mr Rangeman Thank you for the explanation! Big companies are not well known for their humor! I am sorry that they got you, and RUclips did what the big money wanted ... At least I have found you, always love to hear and look your content! Keep on 😊
@@PfarrerHerzblut I'm too passionate plus I enjoy making these videos to help the watch community so a new channel was a must :) Cheers for the support and welcome again my dear friend :))
Hey buddy... The GBD-H1000 is only for tracking, and not for navigation... You can get a demo play through the app, as there are a few things it can do with mapping, but doesn't seem anything like the GPR-B1000.
Awesome ! Have you bought one already ?....I find this amusing to be honest. G-Shocks for outdoors, G-Shocks for fitness, G-Shocks for this and that. Lol You all just look at them. They´re G-Shocks. I can workout in the gym with my Mudman as with the GBD. I can survive in the wilderness with a Rangeman (any of the two) a Mudmaster or with this GBD. They´re G-Shocks. The mud resistance, vibe resistance, tough movements and other things are just marketing stuff regarding certain issues inside the watch construction wise. In the end, they´re all shock, vibration, magnetic, water, mud, dust, sand whatever resistant. The same with materials, as an example sapphire vs mineral. They´re both good. Both have positives and negatives. They´re G-Shocks and they´re awesome ! :)
Cheers buddy :) The G-Squad is for fitness tracking, the Rangeman is a giant power house with that basic Navigational side... while the Instinct is a mix of them all... then the Fenix 6 Pro comes and stirs it up more LML :-P The Instinct is a fine watch, and you can navigate with it using planned routes from Garmin Explore... think this G-Squad has the tough side in favour, plus the display looks like it holds loads on information at once, so you don't have to scroll scroll looking at tiny numbers.
@@markrothenberg9867 Cheers buddy... guess the same for Europe too :) I'm hoping to loan one, just to do a really good tutorial along with tests next to my other GPS watches.. some may be pointless, but I'm curious how far these watches can be pushed, as it then covers everything... it's a nice looking watch, and these MIP displays are brilliant :))
Hey buddy, hope you and you're family are safe and sound in these uncertain times!! Great video on the new watch. And for 399€ ,with these lots of features, it's definitely a consideration worth . Now I'm not so much into workouts these days,unless it's lying on the couch and watch movies! But maybe I start running again,since it has everything on board to monitor your heart rate and so on. God knows I should. Or should I buy the new range man since it's much better looking! :))))) Frank S
Hey my good friend, good to hear from you :) Well asking Mr Rangeman is like asking a goat if they prefer a straw hat to eat or goats cheese??? As I already own a Fenix I don't need anymore cheese, so a straw hat for me :)) If you're out of breath this is a sign you're either doing it right or you've pushed to hard, but when you stop breathing that's the point when looking at your watch is the last thing to mind :-P I don't use HR monitors so this isn't going to be for my activities, but for those who do this looks like a good watch to use... and being it's not a smart watch makes it a solid choice for years to come... think Fitbit are shaking LML :-P Both are good looking, but remember the Rangeman is a Master of G made for the the civil service guys so it has to be more though than regular G-Shocks. Cheers for the feedback, seems this videos style is a hit :))
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman It was a good video considering you didn' have the watch available. But I'd rather watch you handle the real watch and look at all the features. Frank S.
I did quite a bit of investigation before making this video, to really make sure I have all the details correct, but couldn't find tide/moon or sunset sunrise in any of the descriptions.... only time will tell, and once the module PDF is available only then you can everything it can offer. The G-Squad is for fitness, so will track you, but it doesn't have navigation, it might take point memos, but nothing mentioned that it can navigate you. The battery is enough for a day with GPS and HR running, so it looks like it'll need charging after every day if using it hard that way... the Rangeman is still the power house when it comes to GPS endurance, and I'm still waiting if Garmin would let me borrow the solar Fenix 6 to test that :-P
The GPR B1000 only has moon and tide if you connect it to the app. Also, you have to scroll thru hours to get the right tide. Never understood that since many other cheap G-Shocks before showed the tide phase on the right time.
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman Actually I'm waiting for the actual experiences after the watches released. The functions which Rangeman haven't included vibration, instant messages informed function, heart rate detector, and if New S Squad can fill the leakage of Rangeman like navigation, map route setting, etc. I'll also consider to New S Squad. 💪🏻
Impressive effort, you covered the bases nicely Sir!! You absolutely deserve to get your subscribers back man!! Looking forward to you being able to have a look at the GBD-100 also Not sure I like the idea of no solar but at least the battery is a cr2032. AGAIN Nicely done on this video! Thanks for the effort you put in!
Cheers buddy, I'm sure my subs will finally realise I've not posted for a while and search again... wasn't sure how to make such a video, so decided the Rangeman needs a mention as I was thinking this G-Squad is an upgrade at first... The CR2032 battery is used in the vintage G-Shocks with a 10yr battery life... so with the extra features looks like it's doing well with 2yrs... If you scroll to the end of this link to the bottom there is a side by side with the GBD-H1000 vs GBD-100 so you can see what it has to offer. world.g-shock.com/asia-mea/en/products/g-squad/gbd-h1000/ Cheers but can't promise that I have time for another G-Squad video as this one took a while to make... but if CASIO is listening LML :-P Stay well my friend and thanks for the support :)
Awesome video mate. Keep up the good work. PS: You look like that can do tutorials for Casio better than their tutorials. How did you have the G-Squad in your hand in the end?
The content is a mix of my own and what's on the official G-Shock website, and with lots of editing it comes together... the size chart is my own that I put together for this video, so that's mine 100% :)))) Cheers for the feedback my good friend :))
@@traviswalker8933 I forgot to mention about the ending of the video... well lets just say I'm quite handy in making things comes alive with paper and an inkjet printer LML :-P Looked so cool when I made it a negative as when it was colour it was obvious... but looked cool, and oddly your the only one who actually watched it that far, as nobody has mentioned it, which I thought was odd LML :-P
Cheers buddy... just adding what's already there, but showing the differences between this and the Rangeman, as I was thinking it's a new version... pleased it's a new breed :))
Good day . Could someone who has this watch tell me if the battery bars are charged on this watch while it is being recharged from the sun or not? It is that the battery tells me Low and the bars do not charge, I have been using it for 2 or 3 days and the battery level does not rise. And another question is when you press the light button, how many light leds turn on? I feel that it does not illuminate much, 2 leds light up. How many to you?
Hi mate I have the rangeman at the minute and was considering this gsquad as a birthday present.. but after watching your video im seriously reconsidering it tbh...i have a feeling id leave the gsquad sitting in the box and continue using my rangeman.... What do you think...im not into running so a lot of the functions dont matter to me..i like the heart monitor and the step counter though but i dont think it has the quality im used to having a frogman and gen1 rangeman and gen2 rangeman. Im on the fence tell you the truth.. Any advice very welcome
When Simple 1i mentioned that I should make a video on this, the one thing glowing in my thoughts was "is this an upgrade to the GPR-B1000?" It looks great and I must admit that I was feeling like I have the lesser of the two... but after lots of searching I discovered it's a totally new watch that's focused on the fitness side... and if like me who is active but doesn't need to monitor the health side with heart rates then this will likely be bought for the looks.., and the GPR-B1000 is a Master of G using more quality materials. If you like more information with regards to tracking or navigating then the Instinct or Fenix 6 Pro... but if you just need a watch that has all the functions needed for day to day, but like to have something that notes a location that can be navigated later too, then the GPR-B1000... after the few years with the GPR-B1000 I really understand the logics of it, it's basic, but reliable and is built tough... I'm not worried with the completion as the Rangeman would be my one watch choice if it did go ugly that's for sure. Welcome to chat more, so will leave this comment open, but you seem like you have my thoughts too. I would love to review it, but it's not a watch I would really use, it's more for the looks as I have already the Garmin's. Cheers :)
@@ianv7401 So welcome :) If you didn't know my channel got removed for an April's fool video I made last year... it didn't even breach any of the guidelines so made it very frustrating. It seems that video wasn't taken as a joke and left many calling about a free watch service, I have more details on my Instagram about it. So I had to add 'Mr Rangeman' as 'WatchUP69' wasn't available... don't worry, it's still me :) I was given that name by a subscriber and it has been welcomed, mainly because I know the Rangeman inside out... and if you're not aware my partner is Mrs Rangeman, which you can see her in a few videos. I lost a lot of content, but did save some, so will release new with the old just to add. Cheers and HaPpY Easter weekend :))
Great comparison for great watches ... I wonder if the G Squad has sunrise sunset feature .... also, I did not get whether it utilises gps to correct the altimeter readings ... does it?
Cheers buddy... not bad for not having the watch... but if you need more informations then the manual is available to view.. I've added the link in my pinned comment :) Also Gi-Shock-Go has done a few good videos so maybe give him a message, but not sure if he answers everyone like me :-P The Altimeter uses the GPS too just to add... but sunrise sunset I didn't look for, but it'll be in the manual :) Hope that helps my friend :)
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman your prompt response is highly appreciated indeed man ... thankx for the manual link ... it looks like there is NO sunset sunrise function there ... would you recommend it ocver the WSD F21HR smart watch even though it is not solar?
@@sameerkhodeer1357 You're welcome :) I have mixed thoughts on the ProTrek... it seems battery and the support side is lacking... some even mention the build is just ok... to me it looks nice, but without trying one I can't give you 100%... but I don't have the intentions to buy or to review one as I went for Garmin instead... if you want it all then Garmin Fenix 6's... but smart watch tech so will be like a smart phone. Depends on your needs, if you can tell me more information to what you want I can help you from what I've used... cheers :)
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman I agree on the Protrek , it would have been the optimum watch if it had the solar power ... it satisfies the outdoor, indoor, communication as well as sport activities related measurements ... I wish casio are listening to that 😢 ...
Buddy, let me get my breath back, no sooner as I post you want more LML :-P I will have a think about it as I have a backlog of watches to review, plus to re-make ones that are lost... have posted a re-make of the GPR-B1000 full tutorial just to add, in case you think it's the original video from 2018. Hope you're well these days my friend :)) Cheers!
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman ya what happen actually ? I saw your video on gpr,,, and i noticed im not subscribed... Then i realized you started a new channel...
@@tagelorder Do you remember that Aprils Fools video I made where I joked about getting your ROLEX serviced for FREE... well they made a legal complaint that I was selling counterfeit watches... I've never once breached any of their guidelines which was crazy... lost a lot of content so had to re-make the tutorial on the GPR-B1000 again... but think it's better than before back in 2018 :) I do have some saved content which I'll post in-between new videos... thanks for finding me again :) I do like the new G-Lide... so have my eye for one :)) Cheers my friend :)
Hey buddy... Now that's an interesting one as nobody has been crazy enough to test it, but with my view and what I've read about in the manual, is that the GBD-H1000 has a maximum of 18hrs, while the GPR has a possible of 48hrs (2x24hrs) The GBD-H1000 can take 100 logs, but it still has the 18hrs, while the GPR-B1000 has only 20 logs but can run twice 24hrs (48hrs) So the GPR has more GPS memory. Now, what are you after, as the GPR-B1000 is more your tracking and navigation, while the GBD-H1000 is more about activity tracking with regards to training, so makes them very different. Personally, I feel the GBD-H1000 will need charging more often than stated, and judging by the secondary market, they're dropping quite a lot in price. I hear many like them, but have also heard many have switched to the Instinct, so it's down to your needs.
@@wolfking2281 I'm guessing you're going partially for the looks, and I must add the G-Squad does have a fine look... but the Fenix 6X Pro will still blow it out of the sky with regards to performance, but the G-Shock is a brand that doesn't outdate so there is that side... nice to enjoy both... Cheers :)
Nice comparison but I can't think but the best answer is to simply buy a Garmin Fenix 6, I'm a Gshock fan but the GBD-H1000 is to just big and does not enough features compared to the competition
It's all down to the individual and what they enjoy... I enjoy my Fenix 6 Pro... but these watches are throw away watches as over time they will become outdated because of software... G-Shock modules don't require updates, so potentially they should last a life time... but if you want a watch with absolutely everything including maps then the Fenix 6 Pro or even the Fenix 5X Plus that's without question. I think G-Shock have done a good job, and I hope these MIP LCD displays become the future of G-Shocks! Cheers for your comment my friend :)
I would say the G-Squad if you need all that heart information and calories... the Rangeman will tack you, and I have done a full tutorial on the Rangeman so that'll answer all your questions... the Garmin Instinct is also a fantastic tracker, but taking it on another level the Garmin Instincts show all the information on the watch, including a map of your activity route. Would you need maps, or want to to navigate too? as this G-Squad looks like it's all about tracking you and your body and not navigation. Food for thought hey :)
It very might have this... I could only go with the information that's openly available at the moment using all of the G-Shocks websites... I hope with all the information it can do, it's intuitive to use! Not sure when in April but no signs it's been delayed into May. Cheers
@@GoldenBlade99 Can you link the site youre meaning please? Theres dozens of pages for many regions around the world and I cant seem to find the page you mean.
I'm a bit put off by watches that require electric charging. Therefore, I've neither needed nor wanted a smart swatch. I feel like I have nuff shit to charge as it is, I'm wondering whether I'll regret buying either one of these. If I do decide to pull the trigger, however, I feel like I could be satisfied with the cheaper one!
I don't know if it's the right choice for you... if you're using the GPS a lot, then cables are going to add to your collection... what's the side that is making you think about either of these G-Shocks? Regrets in buying is never a nice experience... I did reply to your other comment, maybe that helped?
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman I'm just a G addict. I just perceive of these as sort of the "next level of G". So I just have the urge to indulge in the next level, but I'm put off by the charging cables, & part of me is trying to convince myself that maybe it's a good thing. I can still pretend that I'm Master of G with the regular Tough Solars
@@shimaalcarrim7949 You know the GW-9400 Rangeman is classed as a Master of G in a secret way, but the majority of G-Shock nuts would agree, it’s a Master of G especially those with carbon bands. Cables??? The GPR uses the wireless charging system, but the price is a lot more.... maybe just hang back for a little, and see what other G-Shocks take your liking that aren’t cable driven?
For me yes, but I use my Rangeman for the navigational side, the GBD-H1000 is fitness, and even though I'm active, I don't need the HR and calories... glad to know you're enjoying the Rangeman, cheers :)
Tops in the survival class for sure... would you say that the GPR-B1000 is over priced and that the GPS is highly inaccurate? Only asking as there is a comment from (Super Rooster) who thinks I'm some kind of paid lying cheat convincing many that the Rangeman is good but in fact is just rubbish? Maybe have a read of their comment as I'm generally interested. I don't think any GPS device is highly accurate, and yesterday it took 25mins till I got a GPS signal on my Fenix 6 Pro being in the wide open... it did it again today but with only a 5mins wait, but the Rangeman got a signal within 1min.... have just uploaded the data and both are pretty much on par with accuracy (High Rate Rangeman) I would say all of my videos have been honest even showing the bad... I don't make a penny from any of these videos, only a little from RUclips's adverts which is zero at the moment. As you're a experienced user of the Rangeman and a regular to my channel what's your thoughts? Cheers my friend and hope you and your family are well these days :)
WatchUP69 Mr Rangeman well, I don’t really care about other’s opinions or comments in such regards. A survival tool is personal & should be treated as such imo if that makes sense? Super accurate gps? No, but I don’t need super accurate in a survival situation I hope doesn’t happen. I only need the breadcrumbs it provides. If you can’t find your way back to your gear using crumbs ya got way bigger problems than an accurate gps can resolve. I have a sojj L at charger for my fenix 6. But what if that panel breaks or fails? The Rangeman is an invaluable tool. Almost as important as the gps are the sunrise/sunset features. That is huge info I want every day. Overpriced... not even remotely. Is it expensive? Yep. Worth it? Yep. ALL quality survival gear is expensive. Not sure how they phrase it in your country, but here it’s basically buy once, cry once.
@@pederhalverson2591 Fantastic reply my friend... some very fine points covered which I liked reading :) Worth it, I would say YEP also and worth the crying the once over... I like that saying and I've not heard it before, so cheers for sharing, and thanks for answering my questions.... have a great weekend my friend :))
@@panjiwira2733 The bezel has a DLC coating, but knock it hard enough, and it will mark, but is still harder than anodised. There isn't anything you can do, and if you tried it'll make it worse... Now being that the metal bezel sits very protected, then I guess you knocked it against something that was pointy and sharp. Painting it would likely make it a hotspot to notice it even more, and a replacement would only be through CASIO, which will be costly I'm sure... you'll have to accept that it's a G-Shock and has the signs of being used as intended. The only last thought I have, is to totally polish the whole bezel removing the DLC coating, but no idea how easy or what the finish would look like??? Sorry I can't help you further my friend.
Love your videos, I just purchased the GBD-H1000, awesome piece for running. Am very tempted to get the GPR-B1000 Rangeman due to the insane ruggedness. Do you think I should?
Cheers buddy for the feedback :)) Glad you're enjoying the G-Squad :) Now you have the bug, guess the Master of G materials are pulling you in... now the GBD-H1000 should be as tough as the Rangeman apart from the mud-resist side ... now I can't tell you what to buy, only to show what these beasts can do... have you seen Gi-G-Shock's channel, as he has done a video of them both in the hand... this will help you further :))
Like on the original Rangeman GW-9400 one pusher for all sensors :)) I'm with you there buddy... but with time the GPR-B1000 is actually a very well designed watch... you know you can add too many features... I would like to know, can a ((VIBE)) micro motor be fitted inside the GPR-B1000???
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman Probably not. I don´t know much about the subject, but i reckon that if it was possible, Casio would´ve included one. I already owned the GPR B1000 twice :) first time trade it, second time sold it. I don´t know, i like the watch, but i get tired of it quickly. And it fits good because i have large wrists. What i don´t like is the all select scroll and push to get to functions, the buttons, i prefer the checkered buttons of the previous Rangeman or the ones in the Mudmaster series, and the rubber of the band gets stained very easily. They also should change the screen on the solar panel, make it a little bit darker like the GWG 1000.
@@MrCarpen7er I can understand your views and good point with the dark solar panel, I like that :)) It's a big watch and the functions can be a little consuming if you need things quick, and that's why I've always said that the original GW-9400 is the best intuitive G-Shock period! Such a quick module with some nice quick functions like the stopwatch from home screen. The next gen will be interesting but I hope they don't over ram it with too many fancy things... I do like the basics of it, but maybe more use of the buttons to scroll :))
@@rb2112 In case you forgot, you were the one who acted like a keyboard warrior when you made threats in a comment you made, deleted but i could read, not me.
Good question... Someone else asked about cycling, but can’t find if this GBD-H1000 shows the speed while travelling... it might on the app once the data has been transferred? Looking at the instruction manual it doesn’t show cycling, it’s more about running and workouts. Swimming is a tough one, but I’m wondering if the Fenix has this side covered? I’m not into this side as much, I’m more into navigation and tracking. I would say only the running side as far as the GBD-H1000 can cover with being more accurate.
Thx u so much for your answer. so sad, because i have fall i love with this watch. Do you have any suggestion what kind of G Shock watch that can accomodate triathlon?
@@suryalee3568 You're welcome. G-Shock have no watch for this, especially for the data you need. Cycling can be measured using GPS showing distance and speed and heart rate for more accuracy, swimming is very different as it's about arm strokes which needs personal input beforehand... so these two sides is what lets the G-Shock down the most... I've found this just to give you an idea which watches are considered a good contender, for me you really need a smart watch for it to fully work with all the data you need. Here is the link I found, and I'm sure there's more if you search nanadc.com/best-triathlon-watch/
6:03 I dont get the last hyper colored videoclip. The right watch looks like the GBD-H1000... do you have one now and just cant really show it because of an NDA or what?
Hahaha omg he fooled us!! If you pause when it's laying on the table you can see it's a color printout he cut and overlayed on a different model!! "You clever, clever girl!"
But can you guess the G-Shock that was hidden??? I was wondering how many would pick up on that... well you know how cheeky I can be, it got my channel removed LML :-P
I think this could be exactly what G-Shock fans have been waiting for... it looks good and is packed with functions... it could be more practical than the Rangeman, as survival isn't an everyday part of our lives... looking forward to know what it can do in the real world... cheers for the comment my friend :)
WatchUP69 Mr Rangeman . You got a good point on that Sir, but I think Surviving is exactly Now important in the World 🌎..But Without Traveling 🧭😉..Other hand in my case, I have a Heart ❤️ problem..So G squad will be handy for people like me ..But sure it’s looks good and ...
I think the watch is interesting and a good choice, when you don't really need the full navigation functions. I'm just not sure about the cheap pushers. Is that ok for a 400€ watch? I don't know. But i like watch and would love to see the watch in your hands. Your reviews are awesome.
Hey buddy... This video was because of a subscriber says the same with regards to how I review. You know I'm about detailing and of course the geek side. So putting this video together was more about the comparisons and to really make it clear it's not a new Rangeman. I can get my hands on one to borrow, but am holding back based on a few things, mainly because being I'm not into the fitness tracking and training side, my side is with navigation and adventure. It all depends on what you want from the watch, if it's looks then the rest isn't a concern. Now G-Shocks aren't cheap, and maybe using plastic buttons works better, as clanging metal buttons on workout equipment isn't going to be a pleasing sound. It's not a Master of G and the price on the GBD-H1000 isn't either being half the price of the Rangeman. I feel you need to look at real time tests of this watch, testing it with what is has, not what it can't... you can rip anything apart, but with me, you have to see how and what it offers to see if it's enough for your needs. G-Shocks are made to run for a lifetime as they're not using smart watch tech, only the Bluetooth side... but smart watches offer way way more, but do get outdated. I've not handled on of these GBD-H1000's so can't be honest with you if it's worth it... it's only the worth if it's good for your needs, and if you're doubting the plastic buttons, why go further and try and force yourself. Is it the looks or functionality? I hope I'm helping a little, as I always like to dig around to knowing what people need from these types of watches. I really appreciate your feedback too saying I'm awesome, this really makes me boost my face with smiles :)))))
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman I know, what you mean. The truth is, i don't do a lot of sports and i don't climb a mountain every day. I'm just a watch fan. Sometimes I'm on the internet for hours, to compare watches and get information about them. I love G-Shock since i had my first, a DW-6600 in my last school years. I'm impressed by their way from then until now and the technical development. I was thinking about the GBD-H1000, because the watch looks great except the pushers, it has the sensors of the GW-9400 and all that fitness stuff as a bonus. Maybe the watch makes me sporty and you see me at Olympic games some day. 😂 Just a joke. I'm fascinated about the ideas and the technology of G-Shock, whether i need it or not. I would like to have a Frogman, and I'm not a diver. Mostly i buy a watch, because i want, not because i need it. But you are right, other watches suits me better the this watch. I will think about it.
@@MartinLuetzelberger You sound like a gadget guy like me also, so is it the fact that G-Shocks can work alone without all the fuss of connecting? The GBD-H1000 is very fitness focused, so maybe the new Casio G-Lide would be something, plus it has a different way to how it operates compared to regular G-Shocks. Maybe you'd also like a full analog G-Shock like the Gravitymaster??? The Frogman is something special with its build, and this is very noticeable. Now there is no rules on my channel, and I'm not like TGV and the Time Teller with their flaff with rules along with their fashion plop... it's for you and to make you feel the happiest, and don't over think to what others say, as nobody is a watch guru. Maybe the GPR-B1000 is the one, and you can use it to find your car if needed :-P If you have any questions about certain G-Shocks I can help, can also post on the community page as there are some amazing viewers with more knowledge than myself :)
Cheers buddy... many have said that this video despite not having the watch to hand, had the most useful facts without the fuss, and to show they're both different watches. I did post on the community page to the reason why CASIO have stopped the GPR-B1000, but my thoughts is because of the costs to make such a watch, they haven't mentioned of a new Gen3 Rangeman, as usually they cross over... the GW-9400 is still in production with the release of the stealth blackout version. Will prices increase, I'm guessing maybe for next year, when less are available... still my ultimate watch :)))
In Japan it is... but Europe not officially yet... the App is really still in BETA form as far as I'm aware, and maybe still not available for Android... Maybe this month or in June... no one really knows for sure??? You can see a few on eBay, but are priced expensive :(
Looking at the instructions it seems that would work too... distance measurements by GPS with the option for auto start stop... the obvious timer and HR is also included... there is zone options, but without knowing fully how the app works I can’t give more details... have pinned the link to the PDF instructions in the comments so you can look at all it can do ;)
I have to say that all these gadgets for taking health readings is just to be used as a guild... your body burns different foods not always the same, the heart rate is probably the more accurate, but depends what activities you're doing, as the watch only needs to be lifted off your wrist quickly which equals a false reading, it's not a big deal but if you're wanting more accuracy then you'll need one of those HR belts around your waist, but these aren't comfortable and can slip... also they need washing as they can stink quite quickly... With a watch it's a good way to see how your performance in health is as long as you've entered your correct details about yourself. I've got three watches that measure HR's and calories and they're all a little different... but it's not a vast amount. To have anything accurate then you're looking at very hi-tech testing equipment, and this would have to be very controlled I'm sure... to measure your progress these types of watches are very convenient... and with the connected app you'll see your progress, also your lazy days LML :-P If you need more information then I'm sure there's pages of this written, as the health side is taken pretty seriously... I'm also sure these watches are tested in many different ways with all types of peoples, before they have a watch they're happy with to release... but to find a wrist watch with HR and calories to be accurate hasn't been invented yet.... these are just a guidance as far as I've seen. I'm sure there's plenty of experts in this field that can help you further. That's my view on it, hope it helps towards all your answers.
Good questions... I can't find any information mentioning this, but considering that marathons are a huge part in fitness then I should imagine there is many options to add this... until the module user guide is released we won't know... keep an eye on G-Shocks website for the module manual which is coming soon... The Rangeman doesn't connect to anything but the G-Shock Connected app, so guess it's the same? We'll just have to wait a little longer to know for sure... sorry I can't give the answer :(
I think GBD's price is great and after some time we might get it with some discounts. Now GPR can be bought in UK around £600 if you research. What do you think about lifespan these watches? They are packed with so many features and technology comparing old school gshocks which last many years.
The GPR-B1000 still has a strong sale hold which is a good part... now it was only released in 2018 so can't tell, but looking at some of my vintage G-Shocks these are still functional, and with today's methods it should last further... just get a spare bezel and bumpers and I would guess this is lifetime... the carbon in the strap should prevent it from stretching so that looks like life long too... but it's also down to how you use it and clean it, as leaving sea water all over it isn't wise as you have no idea what chemicals are in there... The GBD-H1000 is at a good price, would see this dropping to around £350 after the hype... guess new colors will come after. Always look for discount codes is a must ;) Good thing about these types of G-Shocks are the lithium batteries, easy to replace and also easy to obtain.. unlike those LiPo batteries found in smart watches.
@@filtax3984 It didn't state this, so can't give you an honest answer... the Rangeman doesn't have this option just to add... the GW-B5600 does have this oddly :)) but doesn't have notifications :((

Seems like a perfect day-hiking or workout watch. I love that it has Vibration Alarms. Probably will have to get one ...
Touch me!
The vibe alarm feature is great 👍 it actually has a little more vibration than the GD350.

I agree. I'll still choose my rangeman over gbd h1000 as end of the world watch
My GPS was fucking trash after a tiny ass mountain trail they need to team up with Google and get better maps the apl was garbage
My scroll buttong got squishy and wouldn't scroll in the wanted direction
Great looking watch and loved having it on my wrist tbh but I ended up taking it apart and throwing it in the trash id love to get another one but idk
Im gonna wait for the second version or something or maybe the second version of this
They should've teamed up with garmin on this tbh
Why can't companies ask for help and give us amazing products
@@bread8609 G-Shock HiFashion had a crown issue and ended up sending it back to CASIO who fixed it... can't believe you threw yours away :(
Why can't companies talk directly with users as even Garmin make a hash of things... one day TOYOTA will make a watch LML :-P
Which bin did your GPR-B1000 go in, as a spare carbon strap would be good to hand, buckle and keeper plus the bezel, sapphire maybe handy, the GPS antenna, MIP display, pushers, ceramic back case, charger, box, battery, circuit board, screws, sensors and the carbon resin body... all these parts are usable... well at least you made it back safe :))
Hmm any news about New Rangeman model for 2020?
@@mareknowakowski1692 The GPR-B1000 is the 2020 Rangeman... it's not like an Apple Watch when a new one has to be released every few months because they're outdated... the GPR-B1000 is still and will always be an incredible G-Shock just like the original GW-9400 Rangeman :)
If there is to be a new one, they better talk to us G-Addicts first, and not someone fresh and useless out of university LML :-P
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman That is why I want to order it this week, the green /yellow version .The new G Shock Move looks good as well too, still considering which one to choose.
And of course 💖 thanks for taking the time to prepare the video.
And definitely agree on the vibration alert comment...
Thanks for a great review. I have both watches and your functionality is spot on. Rangeman.....I rely on for survival. H1000 is my Fitbit replacement. Good points of H1000. Faster GPS acquisition when worn on wrist. 20 seconds compared to 2 minutes (average). Vibrate alert, call and text alert (really needs a microphone like the Apple Watch allowing you to take calls. Battery life (superb), back light and finally comfort. Bad points....Flimsy strap, glass scratches, complicated menus, some alerts are meaningless, overall durability not what you would expect from a G-shock. If you could put the GPS, and Battery from the H1000 into the Rangeman you would have the perfect watch. Hope that this is useful.
Comments like these really help others... I like the channel to be a place that shows a real honest experience from viewers, as we know a few channels take money over being genuine.
Thank you so much, this is great... also what bike do you ride? Looks Honda??? Cheers!
WatchUP69 Mr Rangeman Have a variety of bikes. Turbo Hyabusa, Triumph Thunderbird Sport and my pride and joy is Karl Fogartys Ducati that I bought at auction. The picture is many moons back and is a Honda Fireblade. I am 75 now so I don’t get out as often as I would like. Great channel, keep the reviews coming. By the way, I collect watches. Have some really rare beauties
@@johnlancaster119 Great toys, especially the Turbo Busa, now that will thrash my ZX12R :( I like Triumphs no matter where they're made these days... and anything from Foggy is special, am impressed!
I've got also the original Africa Twin RD03 650 made by HRC which is my favourite bike, been on many many tours with that beauty :)
Cheers for sharing and thanks for the feedback and support :))
Thanx for the comparison. Yes the rangeman look and feel way better. Don't envy the vibration feature bc it takes away from the battery and the rangeman is a battery conservative life saver watch.
I'm actually looking at micro 3v vibe motors and wondering if I could fit that inside the Rangeman??? But then again I don't really set the alarms or timer, I use it more for the ABC and navigation/point memos.
Cheers for the feedback my friend :)
This video aged like fine milk.
2022 Difference between the 2: You can't get GPR-B1000 Rangeman anymore. Thank you Casio.
The less attractive G-Squad was intended to replace the much nicer Rangeman after all.
The G-Squad watches are less about looks and more about features tbh.
But it's a damn shame the Rangeman went out so early.
@@StardustLegacyFighter come on, let's be honest, 99% of G-shock watches are sold because people love the looks, not because the customer need the rugged watch, so I think we can discuss the looks specially when they retired a new product to release other questionable ones.
UR absolutely right. G Squad and GPR are uncoparable. G Squad is a very sophisticated smart band for fit maniacs. GPR is a ugly tactical/survival electronic multitool. My heart belong to GPR without any questions.
I'm getting some feedback that the GBD-H1000 is based upon fitness training and running, so anyone wanting to know more information with regards to riding a bicycle say it's not the greatest. For running it's perfect, and seen a few have turned to the Instinct by Garmin.
Personally for me, I'm all about navigation and the GPR is my watch between them both. I was going to review the GBD-H1000 but as its focus is upon the fitness and running, then it's best left to the likes of DC rainmaker and the other fitness guy who are into this side, so have pulled away from that review, as I would only review it upon the ABC functions, and because I'm breathing, I don't need a watch to tell me that my heart is beating LML :-P
Cheers buddy :)
IT is not a matter of preference. The gpr is 2,5 times more expensive, of course itis better. But IT is discontinued, anyway
Yes indeed the vibe alert is a one the most useful features you could have on any watch for that matter. More often than not the alarm sounding off is often too low a volume.
Would I be the only one who seems to think the volume has dropped considerably over the years on Casio watches?
Light flashes is not a bad idea but vibe is even better idea.
I've been telling CASIO to listen to their fans to add ((VIBE)) as standard to all new G-Shocks... still rate my GD-350 as that is my wake-up ((VIBE)) alarm :))
The G-7700 has a good light flash... will post a review and tutorial of that soon :))
Im proud owner of GPR B1000. Id like to say good luck with Glonass!! This is unexpected down turn or step back for Casio.
Just got the G-SQUAD in grey, gorgeous watch. The High-Contrast-LCD is phenomenal.
Fantastic... I've yet to see one, but the MIP display is the same as the GPR... cheers for the update... you posting on G-Shock Collectors WORLDWIDE?
Cheers :)
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman you are right, I posted my G-SQUAD on G-Shock Collectors ;-) In the pictures you can see, I'm in love ❤️ with this watch.
@@wolfgangtraxl812 Should see some results on the abs then :) So pleased you're enjoying it, cheers for sharing :)
Got one question. Is it possible to do a quick switch between altimeter, barometer and compass on the Rangeman or display it in different screens? While I’m hiking I like to switch between these functions quick and easy without using a crown and scrolling. On my GBD-H1000 it works, I can switch between ABC with only one button. Also in training mode I have 3 different screens where I can customise the shown informations including the ABC data’s. I ask, because I’m additionally interested for the Rangeman because of it’s navigation features and it’s “Master of G” quality ;-)
@@wolfgangtraxl812 I like how you have the ABC from home screen, the GPR doesn't have this, the quickest way is one press on the mode button, scroll down and there is the ABC, but you'll need to scroll to choose, while in navigation you do have a quicker view to altimeter if it's already opened... but compass no... you can opt to show the barometer in home screen which stays on. The GPR is more navigation with the ABC not far away... and of course there's the premium materials as it's a Master of G :)
I must say one thing, the icons on the GBD-H1000 such as LT look tiny and seem dotted around... the GPR has this more focused at the bottom at a good size... what is your view upon this?
Cheers buddy :)
The Rangeman GPR B1000 series is my fave G Shock. Too bad Casio discontinued it for some unknown reason
A successor in the works hence why.
@@traviswalker8933Nope.
Why would the predecessor get discontinued?
It makes no sense for Casio to do that, considering that the GWG-1000 is still around, even though the GWG-2000 has already been out for a year.
@@StardustLegacyFighter too bad that comment has not gotten this dead discussion anywhere. It has been discontinued for long already.

Good video. For me the rangeman is one of the best watches you can find on the market. The new one is good for working out. If I am to go hiking, for a long trip i’ll pick the rangeman. Thanks for the video.
Hey buddy... was you thinking the same as me, wondering if this new GBD-H1000 is an Rangeman upgrade? Good to have choice and can see these G-Squads doing well... must be the first proper fitness watch with 200m water resist :)
Awww man, I have surely missed your videos. This watch is the one I'm most excited about this year, so thanks for the impromptu review with limited access! I hope you are able to get your hands on an example after it releases as there are probably more viewers interested in its advanced workout features than the Rangeman trek stuffs. Keep safe, brother!
Cheers buddy... I would have to agree with you, the fitness side is much more in demand, so it's good G-Shock have now taken this side :)
Looks good on paper and on their short videos... one question, is this too close to the Instinct as that has the navigation, but the Squad has O2 sensor??? I would love to review one, but I don't do running, so would have to find a fit lady for that side, could be a tough job LML :-P
Mrs Rangeman wouldn't need to know, unless she hides my GPR-B1000 Rangeman on me and uses it as a tracker LML :-P
Cheers for the support... stay well my friend :))

Thank you as always! You rock!
Thank Simple 1i as it was his idea the most... I just edited the pictures and added all the stuff with my Rangeman, as that's the main point I was wondering... cheers :))
great comparison Buddy!
Thank you my dear friend :)
When Simple 1i mentioned about doing this video I wasn't sure how it would work, as most of the time when making videos with no watch to hand usually gets the flakes upset, but am really pleased that so many think it was done well. I thought putting it next to the Rangeman would answer many questions, as I for one was thinking is It a replacement to the GPR-B1000 but with my research found it's actually something completely different, which is a good thing. I think they've gone in the right direction as it's not a smart watch, so will have plenty and plenty of life long use I'm sure.
Price seems to be good, and it's still a 200m G-Shock, so that must be a first, as most of these activity watches are only rated to 100m.
You can see the difference in build next to the Rangeman, and it clearly it clearly shows how the Rangeman is priced the way it is, with the secondary market still strong on them. I would guess these will sell like hot buns, then settle to a price around £350 Male £300. I was thinking to have the Instinct in the equation but that again is something different, plus it has no O2 sensor. Looks like the app works well from the videos I've seen, and should be a very useful tool to monitor your activities.
Thanks again
Brilliant video narration and content as always! Better you find out exactly what that SNS is. 👍🏼 My theory is that SNS is for "Seriously Not Sick". 😄

Nice comparison. Your conclusion, though: I don't think the GBD-1000 was created thinking of "the world turned ugly" scenarios, so that preference is really subjective. I'm personally much more interested in the GBD, for working out and hiking. Never felt the need for a "save my life" kind of watch. That's the nice thing about G-Shocks, there's a model for each purpose and personal style.
Cheers buddy :)
I was referring to the Rangeman being the one I would choose if whatever happened, but that's just a side that G-Shocks have become, a loyal piece of kit that's always ready :)
The GBD-H1000 looks good for the fitness side, and it's another series of G-Shocks that spreads it further still for choice :)
I wasn't sure how I was going to make such a video when Simple 1i mentioned it, but one thing that crossed my mind, was it an upgrade... but with much research it was actually another addition to the line up, so wanted to show them the best way possible next to each other with the content that's available without having the actual watch, and not make it about which is better, they're for different purposes and can live with each other, and I think the G-Squad is priced well, as the Rangeman is still a chunk of money. I'm glad CASIO didn't go smart watch and kept it to their module type :)
I've done a few tutorials on the Garmin Fenix and Instinct, another two great watches I own. It's all down to your needs and what you want from a watch of this type... the Fenix 6 Pro is an incredible watch and one I chose when I need a route planned that requires a lot more details because of the maps that are installed in the watch... so the question, do you spend another £125 and go for the Fenix 6 Pro???? That's a tough one as we know G-Shocks will outlive any smart watch of today.
Cheers for the message and thanks for the feedback, as I thought this video being that it has no physical watch would get slammed :-P
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman the video is very helpful :) thanks!
@@nmfl100 Cheers :))
The high-contrast MIP display is awesome!
I see it's being used on the GBD-100 and the new G-Lide's... I hope it's the future of G-Shocks, as these displays use very little energy :))
So I ended up biting the bullet on the MOVE. It is the coolest watch I've ever worn. I was over the moon until I found out it didn't have an hourly chime. Does the Rangeman have hourly chime?
Hey buddy, congrats and hope the lack of the hourly signal stops you from sending it back... the GPR-B100 also has no hourly SIG... they're not really an everyday watch due to the size, they're more tool watches.
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman I would be surprised if less than half the G Shock owners actually wear G Shocks for what they are intended for 🥴
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman I am not sending it back. It's a cool gadget. But the reality is, had I known it didn't come with chime, I would not have bought it 😐
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman I use chime a lot. It's not critical, but it immensely helps me not lose track of time. Why would they remove chime from the next gen Gs? It is TERRIBLY counter intuitive. Does chime really consume that much resources? LIKE EVERY DIGITAL watch after 1856 has it? It's like buying a freaking Land Cruiser without a stereo system. Because Land Cruisers aren't made for music 🥴🥴 I am totally bummed. What a mindless thing to do take out the chime. Ruined my experience. And I'm like a bona fide Master of G. They let me down Ranger... They let me down.
@@shimaalcarrim7949 I would agree, but I feel it's a much higher figure, but this is based on G-Shock collectors, as those who use them as intended aren't interested in having many watches... my postman wears a G-Shock, but wouldn't watch a channel like mine, they're just wanting a solid watch that can handle the work pace and cope with all weathers.
Can I create a point and navigate to that using the GBD-H1000?
Hey buddy... the GBD is really a tracking fitness watch, only the GPR-B1000 can navigate.
Thanks for the review! I own several G-SHOCKS and have been doing research lately to make the jump to a fitness watch - I've been strongly considering the Garmin FR945, until seeing this. Torn now, when I'm partial to the G-SHOCK brand
It's just a basic review with the information that only to hand in written format... it's needs a full review and tutorial on this one so you can really see all its treasures... looks good and focused on the fitness side with some good features... not sure it has tides/moon as nowhere is mentioned . Wait for a review before going to the next stage... if you're just after tracking your fitness then those Instincts are brilliant, if you need more ruggedness then G-Shock and if you need more mapping details then the Fenix 6 Pro and up.
Like me if you're into your G-Shocks then this looks very attractive... there is also the side of stability with G-Shocks with regards to their software... cheers :)
Great work.

When will be see a full WatchUP69 analysis of the GBD-H1000 and a study of all its functions?! I haven't found a good one on RUclips yet and I'm desperate to learn more about the watch. Cheers mate!
Hey buddy... well I was geared up to review one in the hand, but the further I understand it, it's not going to be a G-Shock I would use, mainly because it's more focused on training and running, and doesn't cover the cycling side... you're better off with an Instinct, this really does do everything plus it's lighter and more compact. I'm reading mix feeling about the GBD-H1000, so unless you're a runner only, then it may not fulfil your needs???
Cheers
Looks fun watch. All these watches or one fenix lol but for end of days I’ll take my old prop watch. ;)
Great video
Thank you my friend... stay with the Fenix, this is more gimmick the most... and CASIO need to really get used to it, that unless they make something that's going to match or better, then just steer away.... the GPR-B1000 Rangeman in my personal opinion was the last greatest push G-Shock have done for a while, and their smart watches are fancy, but touch screen for an outdoor watch is a fail, a big fat one, and you know what it's like in the rain, it needs to be buttons only and have a good continuous backlight... my next video will cover this, and showing how the Garmin Instinct makes a great night watch :))

RUclips kind to me there lol and might be worth a look if I like it.
@@wildaboutwatches A good side by side next to the new GWG-2k would be good before you send it back... understand it's a between watch for you, as the Fenix really offers all you need when out in the field, mainly as it stands alone with built in mapping :)
With regards to looking at other G-Shocks, well it's all again down to your needs, and you could end up with the same old same, so it just comes down to the looks department the most, and I'm not sure if that's enough for you???
The GPR-B1000 would be interesting, but feel you'll see this as a sluggish brute next to the Fenix, but if your adventures went more a far and you have no means to external power like a power brick, then the GPR-B1000 would be king :))
Maybe if you're into the more premium of watches, what about looking at MR-G???
Great Mr Squadman!
Mr Squadman now that is a good name for it... your claim buddy :))
Cheers for the feedback and glad you enjoyed :))
WatchUP69 Mr Rangeman That’s the watch I’m interested in seeing Mr Rangeman!
WatchUP69 Mr Rangeman My claim to fame was giving you your name Mr Rangeman!
@@Mark-P You did Mark, and when someone asks I say because of you.... you started it and others followed and I liked it... better than being called 'ROLEX' as no matter how you try to say it, it always sounds feminine... try it and you'll hear what I mean LML :-P (Hush though as that's a clue to an upcoming video I have to mind, so just keep in memory for now and all be clear :))
WatchUP69 Mr Rangeman You are the one and only, Mr Rangeman!
Thanks
Thank you too :))
Great vid/comparison (especially without the watch) it has some pretty cool functions that’s for sure (would also be spewing if they managed to squeeze in 100ths or 10ths of a sec on the stopwatch!) but unless they do closer in build quality to the GPR I won’t worry about one (unless I wanna get fit🤔🤪)! Again well done and thanks for sharing 👍🍻
Sorry made a mistake, it has 10 stop watches and 100 laps times, with a countdown of 5secs with a flashing LED....
Then I woke up LML :-P
Cheers for the feedback my good man... I hope you feel more at ease knowing it's a full on fitness watch :-P
Honestly can't wait to have a look as the shop will probably get a purchase there and then as this may well replace my rangeman as my daily wear
For a daily wear to track your activity it looks good... I'm just not sure if the mentioned lug to lug width is correct, but with all the searching they all said the same size... only time will tel hey :)
Yeah slightly bigger than a rangeman will be an issue for some but I'm not concerned and seeing one screengrab on you're video it seems to including ascent in metres climbed so that answers my question as it's the only thing I wanted it to include that hasn't been fully mentioned in press literature but it's something I've used in past fitbits etc so with that I think it will be a purchase but you're right to get the same level of materials as the rangeman it would be rangeman price also and not many would pay £799 retail for a activity watch
@@robjeffels I spent quite a while piecing all the info together so I could build a video from it... it needed to be something different, and having the Rangeman involved was the side I know many are curious about... "there's a new kid on the block and the Rangeman is out" well it's a new kid, but it's just a mate not a threat :)
Glad you found the detail you needed, if you playback in slo-mo you'll catch it all, but wanted the video to blast past quickly so you end up watching it all as you're drawn in.... did you watch till the end out of curiosity? There was something I did that only one other has spotted, and thought it would get more comments about it that's all :))
Cheers!
Amazing comparison! Great info! I really like both watches and the new G-squad for 399$ I think is a hell of a deal.
Cheers buddy... just had a comment saying the opposite to you... stolen pictures and video with rambling voice over... I guess they're sitting on a mountain of toilet paper thinking it's a castle LML :-P
I would like to see it around $350 then it's very hard to ignore... Cheers for passing :))
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman ahh there is always some irrational haters. No worries! your content is amazing! nobody can tell otherwise.
Being a big G-Shock fan, I really appreciate the summary. After vacillating over whether to buy the Garmin 6 and or the Pro Trek WD-30, reading reviews for both and assessing cost, this might be the best compromise. I think I will wait until someone I trust, (maybe Watchup69 ?) has the opportunity to review the actual device.
The WD-30 is also a navigational watch, but if you need more upon the fitness tracking then this G-Squad looks fantastic... if you need this and the mapping and navigation then the Fenix 6 Pro. CASIO are you listening?? L=:)))
I would show it how it is like I always do... then it's up to you to make the choice as that's how I do my reviews... none of that fancy pant stuff from me LML :-P
Should be out soon so hopefully some good reviews come from it, not sure if they'll go geek like me with it ??? :-P
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman Actually. I've watched all of your reviews (and I mean all) I guess what really impresses me about what I'm hearing of this watch,in addition to the pulse and O2, is the battery life and solar. I already have the Rangeman (loved following your trip through the Alps) was just trying to pace my inclination to buy all of them ;-)
@@billhughes9648 I can understand the addiction :)
I'm guessing once the battery reaches a certain level it'll do what the Rangeman does, and just continue with the ABC side.
Thank you for the support and glad you enjoy my epic tutorials.
HaPpY Easter weekend my friend :))
WatchUP69 Mr Rangeman back at you. Stay healthy and keep the reviews coming.
@@billhughes9648 Have just posted a new one yesterday, something different and entertaining :))
Cheers :))
Do you think there will be a newer rangeman model coming soon? Or the gsquad is the new version? Thanks! Keep up the vids!
The G-Shock Move and Rangeman are two different beasts, especially as the latter is Master of G. Neither is meant to replace the other, and the Rangeman is barely two years old. The original Rangeman has been around for years and I don’t see any reason the 2018 model will be replaced any time soon. These aren’t Apple Watches or smartphones.
A fantastic commercial! Even Casio would not be able to come up with a better one. They should pay you for this one.
Thank you my dear friend... I did use a lot of content from the official G-Shock website, so can't take all the credit, probably took five minutes to edit LML :-P
This took a long while, and the size chart is mine 100% so may upload that for some fun and so anyone can download it.
Thanks for the support and have a great start to the week :)
Great Review as always - this is an Indoor / Outdoor Fitness tool whilst the Rangeman is an All Terrain trekking & travel beast ..... no comparison really IMHO ..... both are tool watches for specific purposes ........but why don't they have an HOURLY CHIME is my only gripe !! its so useful ion daily life to have a sense of time passage I think.
Good question... I can understand that the Orangeman has no hourly SIG because it’s a survival tool... but this new GBD-H1000 is more down to earth that it’s for daily use... but yet has no SIG... so my conclusion is that these types of watches are for those who don’t worry about how the day passes, or the person responsible has simply had a genius idea that his decision alone was to remove a feature that is featured in every single G-Shock that has ever been made... i’m sure they’re well on the way to the place of looking for a new job while buried in a concrete coffin.
I pre-ordered the black one from Casio. I waited a long time for a G-Shock with notifications. I feel like i'm probably the market they were trying to reach out to as other than the look, ruggedness, steps, heart rate and notifications the additional diehard stuff i wouldn't even use. I have a Samsung Galaxy Watch 46mm now. My only concern with this is going to be the size as I never had a watch this large other than a Protrek model but Wear OS was terrible and it wasn't this thick but i am also assuming it is designed to fit overall much better. Does it make any sense to add some kind of screen protector to these? Clearly it's extremely rugged but i wouldn't mind preventing screen scratching if that's a potential issue. Looking forward to it.
It shouldn't really need it too much, it'll probably be years before enough scratches accumulate for you to notice them. Only other concerns would be for it's ability to gather light efficiently for it's solar recharge. Something to think about I guess
@Mac www.gshock.com/watches/digital/gbdh1000-1a7
It's a tough call with this one... if dirt gets trapped underneath then than could leave worse marks... My father once placed clear plastic on one of his cars seats to protect them when it comes to sell... but when he removed them the sun had bleached the cover and it looked terrible... sometimes things are made for purpose.
To be honest, I wouldn't bother... upon one knock the protector will be marked and then probably start to come away with heat and water, then dirt gets sandwich and then just looks ugly... but if you feel that's what you need then I see Brian has been kind enough to leave a link :)
With 101g this a light watch especially for the features... nice silicon strap with plenty of adjustments and vents so looks like it will be a fantastic fit, maybe better than the Rangeman for sure with regards to fit.
It looks like it has all you need to track your activity and none of that fancy stuff which is just for nothing... button operation is my choice, as touch screens get confused when wet... The price looks great, and can see these getting a big hit, as so far these types of fitness watches are't durable enough, and this is also durable inside as it's a hybrid... will outlive anything of todays smart watches :) Excited for you my friend :))
The question is does any of the watches get any reception in Dead zones
Часы отличные! G shock сделали лучшие часы с зарядкой от солнца! Услышали наши желания. Столь необходимые для автономности и самим назначением часов, а не телефона. А также объединили protrek с максимальной защитой и достаточной глубиной погружения!
Огромное спасибо инженерам casio thanks!!!
Спасибо за ваш комментарий ... Я надеюсь одолжить один из этих G-Squads, чтобы сделать мой собственный обзор и тестирование ... на данный момент есть только несколько, у которых есть эти часы, но еще никто не тестировал их полностью ... выглядит хорошо, просто надеюсь, что он не слишком велик для тех, кто любит это новое поколение G-Shock?
Due to the hype this watch will be reselling at higher price
I have a feeling it'll be like when the GMW-B5000 all stainless was released, and the prices went pretty crazy at £600 almost, now looking the market for a perfect used one they're down to around £250... I would think £350 is about top dollar so to speak but could see them resting around £300 once they've been out for 6 months or so. It's in the right time too for such a watch, as we're limited to what time we can spend outdoors and all of a sudden there's a spurge of people going around in fitness outfits, sort of reminds me of the 80's LML :-P
WatchUP69 Mr Rangeman
Buying from japanese market JDM version will retain value
@@ReformMsia JDM's have that power, even if the watch is made in Malaysia :))
Best watch reviews hands down.
even without the watch... well I'm hoping to get the chance to review and do tutorials on it... also some tests that nobody will even think of... yeah, I will do this one a great deal of justice... needs a full tutorial and no one has done that yet... so far all looking like they don't know where to begin LML :-P
Cheers and thank Simple 1i as it was his idea for me to make such a video :)

Hey my good friend, good to hear from you :)
You remember that April fools video I made last year when I was outside ROLEX in Biel, well they didn't find the funny side and made a legal complaint at me saying I'm selling counterfeit watches... well RUclips acted and removed my channel, even though none of my content has breached any of their guidelines! Absolutely crazy hey, and lost much of my content... so will post what I have saved in-between new content like this one. My channel is now 'WatchUP69 Mr Rangeman' I had to re-make the tutorial on the GPR-B1000 and I think it's better, so some good has come from it :)

I always love my 3 gshock watch, gwf-d1000nv, gw5000, grp b1000
Can gps coordinate(s) be entered through the app to make a waypoint or create a route in the GBDH1000-1? I know you can with the other.
Hey buddy... The GBD-H1000 is only for tracking, and not for navigation... You can get a demo play through the app, as there are a few things it can do with mapping, but doesn't seem anything like the GPR-B1000.
Awesome ! Have you bought one already ?....I find this amusing to be honest. G-Shocks for outdoors, G-Shocks for fitness, G-Shocks for this and that. Lol You all just look at them. They´re G-Shocks. I can workout in the gym with my Mudman as with the GBD. I can survive in the wilderness with a Rangeman (any of the two) a Mudmaster or with this GBD. They´re G-Shocks. The mud resistance, vibe resistance, tough movements and other things are just marketing stuff regarding certain issues inside the watch construction wise. In the end, they´re all shock, vibration, magnetic, water, mud, dust, sand whatever resistant. The same with materials, as an example sapphire vs mineral. They´re both good. Both have positives and negatives. They´re G-Shocks and they´re awesome ! :)
Brilliant comment my friend, really good, cheers :))
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman Thank you! 😊
Nice video, good points! I prefer the range me too...the gsquad looks like competing against the Garmin...and for that...I prefer the Garmin still.
Cheers buddy :)
The G-Squad is for fitness tracking, the Rangeman is a giant power house with that basic Navigational side... while the Instinct is a mix of them all... then the Fenix 6 Pro comes and stirs it up more LML :-P
The Instinct is a fine watch, and you can navigate with it using planned routes from Garmin Explore... think this G-Squad has the tough side in favour, plus the display looks like it holds loads on information at once, so you don't have to scroll scroll looking at tiny numbers.
Can HR & GPS be charged from solar power OR it has to be from USB?
Release to the public end of May 2020...preordered and waiting.
Hey buddy... is that through CASIO Germany?
Cheers :)
Casio U.S.A., delayed 30 days. Release end of May
@@markrothenberg9867 Cheers buddy... guess the same for Europe too :)
I'm hoping to loan one, just to do a really good tutorial along with tests next to my other GPS watches.. some may be pointless, but I'm curious how far these watches can be pushed, as it then covers everything... it's a nice looking watch, and these MIP displays are brilliant :))
The only thing I like about the GBD is the vibration alarm because the GPR's alarm is too weak to be heard.
g squad for life
Now did you have your name first?
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman what do u mean ??
G Squad Gaming Because your name is G Squad and this new GBD-H1000 is from the new G-Squad line ;)
Hey buddy,
hope you and you're family are safe and sound in these uncertain times!!
Great video on the new watch. And for 399€ ,with these lots of features, it's definitely a consideration worth .
Now I'm not so much into workouts these days,unless it's lying on the couch and watch movies! But maybe I start running again,since it has everything on board to monitor your heart rate and so on. God knows I should. Or should I buy the new range man since it's much better looking! :)))))
Frank S
Hey my good friend, good to hear from you :)
Well asking Mr Rangeman is like asking a goat if they prefer a straw hat to eat or goats cheese??? As I already own a Fenix I don't need anymore cheese, so a straw hat for me :))
If you're out of breath this is a sign you're either doing it right or you've pushed to hard, but when you stop breathing that's the point when looking at your watch is the last thing to mind :-P I don't use HR monitors so this isn't going to be for my activities, but for those who do this looks like a good watch to use... and being it's not a smart watch makes it a solid choice for years to come... think Fitbit are shaking LML :-P
Both are good looking, but remember the Rangeman is a Master of G made for the the civil service guys so it has to be more though than regular G-Shocks.
Cheers for the feedback, seems this videos style is a hit :))
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman
It was a good video considering you didn' have the watch available. But I'd rather watch you handle the real watch and look at all the features.
Frank S.
as I understand it, there are no routing and return functions in them, and there is also no sunrise, sunset, tide, and moon phase.
I did quite a bit of investigation before making this video, to really make sure I have all the details correct, but couldn't find tide/moon or sunset sunrise in any of the descriptions.... only time will tell, and once the module PDF is available only then you can everything it can offer. The G-Squad is for fitness, so will track you, but it doesn't have navigation, it might take point memos, but nothing mentioned that it can navigate you. The battery is enough for a day with GPS and HR running, so it looks like it'll need charging after every day if using it hard that way... the Rangeman is still the power house when it comes to GPS endurance, and I'm still waiting if Garmin would let me borrow the solar Fenix 6 to test that :-P
The GPR B1000 only has moon and tide if you connect it to the app. Also, you have to scroll thru hours to get the right tide. Never understood that since many other cheap G-Shocks before showed the tide phase on the right time.
It's what I needed.
I own Rangeman but also considering to New G-Squad which it's suitable for intown usage.
So pleased the video helped my friend :))
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman Actually I'm waiting for the actual experiences after the watches released. The functions which Rangeman haven't included vibration, instant messages informed function, heart rate detector, and if New S Squad can fill the leakage of Rangeman like navigation, map route setting, etc. I'll also consider to New S Squad. 💪🏻
Impressive effort, you covered the bases nicely Sir!!
You absolutely deserve to get your subscribers back man!!
Looking forward to you being able to have a look at the GBD-100 also
Not sure I like the idea of no solar but at least the battery is a cr2032.
AGAIN
Nicely done on this video! Thanks for the effort you put in!
Cheers buddy, I'm sure my subs will finally realise I've not posted for a while and search again... wasn't sure how to make such a video, so decided the Rangeman needs a mention as I was thinking this G-Squad is an upgrade at first... The CR2032 battery is used in the vintage G-Shocks with a 10yr battery life... so with the extra features looks like it's doing well with 2yrs...
If you scroll to the end of this link to the bottom there is a side by side with the GBD-H1000 vs GBD-100 so you can see what it has to offer.

I'll second that :))
Good day . Could someone who has this watch tell me if the battery bars are charged on this watch while it is being recharged from the sun or not? It is that the battery tells me Low and the bars do not charge, I have been using it for 2 or 3 days and the battery level does not rise. And another question is when you press the light button, how many light leds turn on? I feel that it does not illuminate much, 2 leds light up. How many to you?
Hi mate
I have the rangeman at the minute and was considering this gsquad as a birthday present.. but after watching your video im seriously reconsidering it tbh...i have a feeling id leave the gsquad sitting in the box and continue using my rangeman....
What do you think...im not into running so a lot of the functions dont matter to me..i like the heart monitor and the step counter though but i dont think it has the quality im used to having a frogman and gen1 rangeman and gen2 rangeman.
Im on the fence tell you the truth..
Any advice very welcome
When Simple 1i mentioned that I should make a video on this, the one thing glowing in my thoughts was "is this an upgrade to the GPR-B1000?"
It looks great and I must admit that I was feeling like I have the lesser of the two... but after lots of searching I discovered it's a totally new watch that's focused on the fitness side... and if like me who is active but doesn't need to monitor the health side with heart rates then this will likely be bought for the looks.., and the GPR-B1000 is a Master of G using more quality materials.
If you like more information with regards to tracking or navigating then the Instinct or Fenix 6 Pro... but if you just need a watch that has all the functions needed for day to day, but like to have something that notes a location that can be navigated later too, then the GPR-B1000... after the few years with the GPR-B1000 I really understand the logics of it, it's basic, but reliable and is built tough... I'm not worried with the completion as the Rangeman would be my one watch choice if it did go ugly that's for sure.
Welcome to chat more, so will leave this comment open, but you seem like you have my thoughts too. I would love to review it, but it's not a watch I would really use, it's more for the looks as I have already the Garmin's.
Cheers :)

If you didn't know my channel got removed for an April's fool video I made last year... it didn't even breach any of the guidelines so made it very frustrating. It seems that video wasn't taken as a joke and left many calling about a free watch service, I have more details on my Instagram about it.
So I had to add 'Mr Rangeman' as 'WatchUP69' wasn't available... don't worry, it's still me :) I was given that name by a subscriber and it has been welcomed, mainly because I know the Rangeman inside out... and if you're not aware my partner is Mrs Rangeman, which you can see her in a few videos.
I lost a lot of content, but did save some, so will release new with the old just to add.
Cheers and HaPpY Easter weekend :))
Great comparison for great watches ... I wonder if the G Squad has sunrise sunset feature .... also, I did not get whether it utilises gps to correct the altimeter readings ... does it?
Cheers buddy... not bad for not having the watch... but if you need more informations then the manual is available to view.. I've added the link in my pinned comment :) Also Gi-Shock-Go has done a few good videos so maybe give him a message, but not sure if he answers everyone like me :-P

Could you tell me Mr Rangemen which watch has more memory in terms of gps tracking?
Hey buddy... Now that's an interesting one as nobody has been crazy enough to test it, but with my view and what I've read about in the manual, is that the GBD-H1000 has a maximum of 18hrs, while the GPR has a possible of 48hrs (2x24hrs)
The GBD-H1000 can take 100 logs, but it still has the 18hrs, while the GPR-B1000 has only 20 logs but can run twice 24hrs (48hrs) So the GPR has more GPS memory.
Now, what are you after, as the GPR-B1000 is more your tracking and navigation, while the GBD-H1000 is more about activity tracking with regards to training, so makes them very different.
Personally, I feel the GBD-H1000 will need charging more often than stated, and judging by the secondary market, they're dropping quite a lot in price. I hear many like them, but have also heard many have switched to the Instinct, so it's down to your needs.
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman thank you so much !!! I have the fenix 6x pro solar so might go for the g squad !
@@wolfking2281 I'm guessing you're going partially for the looks, and I must add the G-Squad does have a fine look... but the Fenix 6X Pro will still blow it out of the sky with regards to performance, but the G-Shock is a brand that doesn't outdate so there is that side... nice to enjoy both... Cheers :)
Nice comparison but I can't think but the best answer is to simply buy a Garmin Fenix 6, I'm a Gshock fan but the GBD-H1000 is to just big and does not enough features compared to the competition
It's all down to the individual and what they enjoy... I enjoy my Fenix 6 Pro... but these watches are throw away watches as over time they will become outdated because of software... G-Shock modules don't require updates, so potentially they should last a life time... but if you want a watch with absolutely everything including maps then the Fenix 6 Pro or even the Fenix 5X Plus that's without question. I think G-Shock have done a good job, and I hope these MIP LCD displays become the future of G-Shocks!
Cheers for your comment my friend :)
Which one u would suggest for those who active in hiking?
I would say the G-Squad if you need all that heart information and calories... the Rangeman will tack you, and I have done a full tutorial on the Rangeman so that'll answer all your questions... the Garmin Instinct is also a fantastic tracker, but taking it on another level the Garmin Instincts show all the information on the watch, including a map of your activity route.
Would you need maps, or want to to navigate too? as this G-Squad looks like it's all about tracking you and your body and not navigation.
Food for thought hey :)
All it needs more is sleep tracking and saturation. So sad it's not included as i want to buy this one so much. Now i have to wait for v2.0
It very might have this... I could only go with the information that's openly available at the moment using all of the G-Shocks websites... I hope with all the information it can do, it's intuitive to use!

One of the G-shock channels told me it doesn't have sleep tracking which is a shame.
I'm a bit put off by watches that require electric charging. Therefore, I've neither needed nor wanted a smart swatch. I feel like I have nuff shit to charge as it is, I'm wondering whether I'll regret buying either one of these. If I do decide to pull the trigger, however, I feel like I could be satisfied with the cheaper one!
Same here bro, same here...
Really in doubt of battery life, im sick of charging 5 timeas a day my phone only, wanna toss it in a river 🤣
I don't know if it's the right choice for you... if you're using the GPS a lot, then cables are going to add to your collection... what's the side that is making you think about either of these G-Shocks?
Regrets in buying is never a nice experience... I did reply to your other comment, maybe that helped?
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman I'm just a G addict. I just perceive of these as sort of the "next level of G". So I just have the urge to indulge in the next level, but I'm put off by the charging cables, & part of me is trying to convince myself that maybe it's a good thing. I can still pretend that I'm Master of G with the regular Tough Solars
@@shimaalcarrim7949 You know the GW-9400 Rangeman is classed as a Master of G in a secret way, but the majority of G-Shock nuts would agree, it’s a Master of G especially those with carbon bands.
Cables??? The GPR uses the wireless charging system, but the price is a lot more.... maybe just hang back for a little, and see what other G-Shocks take your liking that aren’t cable driven?
Real Talk Mr. Range. You should be a life coach. Great advice
Rangeman is still the best like your videos 💪🏼😉
For me yes, but I use my Rangeman for the navigational side, the GBD-H1000 is fitness, and even though I'm active, I don't need the HR and calories... glad to know you're enjoying the Rangeman, cheers :)
Nice Video , nice Channel, best watch 👍
Best comment... cheers for the support :))
Interesting, but I def agree ... Rangeman is still tops
Tops in the survival class for sure... would you say that the GPR-B1000 is over priced and that the GPS is highly inaccurate? Only asking as there is a comment from (Super Rooster) who thinks I'm some kind of paid lying cheat convincing many that the Rangeman is good but in fact is just rubbish? Maybe have a read of their comment as I'm generally interested. I don't think any GPS device is highly accurate, and yesterday it took 25mins till I got a GPS signal on my Fenix 6 Pro being in the wide open... it did it again today but with only a 5mins wait, but the Rangeman got a signal within 1min.... have just uploaded the data and both are pretty much on par with accuracy (High Rate Rangeman)
I would say all of my videos have been honest even showing the bad... I don't make a penny from any of these videos, only a little from RUclips's adverts which is zero at the moment. As you're a experienced user of the Rangeman and a regular to my channel what's your thoughts?
Cheers my friend and hope you and your family are well these days :)
WatchUP69 Mr Rangeman well, I don’t really care about other’s opinions or comments in such regards. A survival tool is personal & should be treated as such imo if that makes sense? Super accurate gps? No, but I don’t need super accurate in a survival situation I hope doesn’t happen. I only need the breadcrumbs it provides. If you can’t find your way back to your gear using crumbs ya got way bigger problems than an accurate gps can resolve. I have a sojj L at charger for my fenix 6. But what if that panel breaks or fails? The Rangeman is an invaluable tool. Almost as important as the gps are the sunrise/sunset features. That is huge info I want every day. Overpriced... not even remotely. Is it expensive? Yep. Worth it? Yep. ALL quality survival gear is expensive. Not sure how they phrase it in your country, but here it’s basically buy once, cry once.
@@pederhalverson2591 Fantastic reply my friend... some very fine points covered which I liked reading :)
Worth it, I would say YEP also and worth the crying the once over... I like that saying and I've not heard it before, so cheers for sharing, and thanks for answering my questions.... have a great weekend my friend :))
gbd or gpr?
Hey buddy... what's your function requirements the most, then I can help further... cheers ;)
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman just look cool teehee:))) oh i almost forgot can you tell me to fix bezel scratch?
@@panjiwira2733 Cool is good too LML :-P
What bezel material and the finish of the bezel is scratched?
Cheers :)
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman at the antenna bezel of gprb1000 and the paint is scratched i think:)))
@@panjiwira2733 The bezel has a DLC coating, but knock it hard enough, and it will mark, but is still harder than anodised. There isn't anything you can do, and if you tried it'll make it worse... Now being that the metal bezel sits very protected, then I guess you knocked it against something that was pointy and sharp. Painting it would likely make it a hotspot to notice it even more, and a replacement would only be through CASIO, which will be costly I'm sure... you'll have to accept that it's a G-Shock and has the signs of being used as intended.
The only last thought I have, is to totally polish the whole bezel removing the DLC coating, but no idea how easy or what the finish would look like???
Sorry I can't help you further my friend.
Love your videos, I just purchased the GBD-H1000, awesome piece for running. Am very tempted to get the GPR-B1000 Rangeman due to the insane ruggedness. Do you think I should?
Cheers buddy for the feedback :))
Glad you're enjoying the G-Squad :)
Now you have the bug, guess the Master of G materials are pulling you in... now the GBD-H1000 should be as tough as the Rangeman apart from the mud-resist side ... now I can't tell you what to buy, only to show what these beasts can do... have you seen Gi-G-Shock's channel, as he has done a video of them both in the hand... this will help you further :))
They need to do a new improved version of the Rangeman. Mix the GPR B1000 with the easy to work one push sensor of the GW 9400.
Like on the original Rangeman GW-9400 one pusher for all sensors :))
I'm with you there buddy... but with time the GPR-B1000 is actually a very well designed watch... you know you can add too many features... I would like to know, can a ((VIBE)) micro motor be fitted inside the GPR-B1000???
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman Probably not. I don´t know much about the subject, but i reckon that if it was possible, Casio would´ve included one. I already owned the GPR B1000 twice :) first time trade it, second time sold it. I don´t know, i like the watch, but i get tired of it quickly. And it fits good because i have large wrists. What i don´t like is the all select scroll and push to get to functions, the buttons, i prefer the checkered buttons of the previous Rangeman or the ones in the Mudmaster series, and the rubber of the band gets stained very easily. They also should change the screen on the solar panel, make it a little bit darker like the GWG 1000.
@@MrCarpen7er I can understand your views and good point with the dark solar panel, I like that :))
It's a big watch and the functions can be a little consuming if you need things quick, and that's why I've always said that the original GW-9400 is the best intuitive G-Shock period! Such a quick module with some nice quick functions like the stopwatch from home screen.
The next gen will be interesting but I hope they don't over ram it with too many fancy things... I do like the basics of it, but maybe more use of the buttons to scroll :))
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman Thank you ! You´re absolutely right !
@@rb2112 In case you forgot, you were the one who acted like a keyboard warrior when you made threats in a comment you made, deleted but i could read, not me.
Is this watch suit for triathlon? can detect running, swimming and riding bike?
Good question... Someone else asked about cycling, but can’t find if this GBD-H1000 shows the speed while travelling... it might on the app once the data has been transferred?
Looking at the instruction manual it doesn’t show cycling, it’s more about running and workouts.
Swimming is a tough one, but I’m wondering if the Fenix has this side covered? I’m not into this side as much, I’m more into navigation and tracking. I would say only the running side as far as the GBD-H1000 can cover with being more accurate.
Thx u so much for your answer. so sad, because i have fall i love with this watch. Do you have any suggestion what kind of G Shock watch that can accomodate triathlon?
@@suryalee3568 You're welcome.
G-Shock have no watch for this, especially for the data you need. Cycling can be measured using GPS showing distance and speed and heart rate for more accuracy, swimming is very different as it's about arm strokes which needs personal input beforehand... so these two sides is what lets the G-Shock down the most... I've found this just to give you an idea which watches are considered a good contender, for me you really need a smart watch for it to fully work with all the data you need. Here is the link I found, and I'm sure there's more if you search nanadc.com/best-triathlon-watch/
Can't thank you enough for your information. God Bless You, Keep Healthy bro
@@suryalee3568 You're welcome, I enjoy to help where I can :) Cheers!
6:03 I dont get the last hyper colored videoclip. The right watch looks like the GBD-H1000... do you have one now and just cant really show it because of an NDA or what?
Hahaha omg he fooled us!! If you pause when it's laying on the table you can see it's a color printout he cut and overlayed on a different model!! "You clever, clever girl!"
@@GoldenBlade99 LOL
But can you guess the G-Shock that was hidden??? I was wondering how many would pick up on that... well you know how cheeky I can be, it got my channel removed LML :-P
Yess I agree ☝️..I have the Rangeman as well and absolutely love it 💪..But I’m gonna get the White Squad 2 couse of the heart ❤️ rate monitor..
I think this could be exactly what G-Shock fans have been waiting for... it looks good and is packed with functions... it could be more practical than the Rangeman, as survival isn't an everyday part of our lives... looking forward to know what it can do in the real world... cheers for the comment my friend :)
WatchUP69 Mr Rangeman . You got a good point on that Sir, but I think Surviving is exactly Now important in the World 🌎..But Without Traveling 🧭😉..Other hand in my case, I have a Heart ❤️ problem..So G squad will be handy for people like me ..But sure it’s looks good and ...
I think the watch is interesting and a good choice, when you don't really need the full navigation functions. I'm just not sure about the cheap pushers. Is that ok for a 400€ watch? I don't know. But i like watch and would love to see the watch in your hands. Your reviews are awesome.
Hey buddy... This video was because of a subscriber says the same with regards to how I review. You know I'm about detailing and of course the geek side. So putting this video together was more about the comparisons and to really make it clear it's not a new Rangeman. I can get my hands on one to borrow, but am holding back based on a few things, mainly because being I'm not into the fitness tracking and training side, my side is with navigation and adventure. It all depends on what you want from the watch, if it's looks then the rest isn't a concern. Now G-Shocks aren't cheap, and maybe using plastic buttons works better, as clanging metal buttons on workout equipment isn't going to be a pleasing sound. It's not a Master of G and the price on the GBD-H1000 isn't either being half the price of the Rangeman. I feel you need to look at real time tests of this watch, testing it with what is has, not what it can't... you can rip anything apart, but with me, you have to see how and what it offers to see if it's enough for your needs. G-Shocks are made to run for a lifetime as they're not using smart watch tech, only the Bluetooth side... but smart watches offer way way more, but do get outdated.
I've not handled on of these GBD-H1000's so can't be honest with you if it's worth it... it's only the worth if it's good for your needs, and if you're doubting the plastic buttons, why go further and try and force yourself.
Is it the looks or functionality?
I hope I'm helping a little, as I always like to dig around to knowing what people need from these types of watches.
I really appreciate your feedback too saying I'm awesome, this really makes me boost my face with smiles :)))))
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman I know, what you mean. The truth is, i don't do a lot of sports and i don't climb a mountain every day. I'm just a watch fan. Sometimes I'm on the internet for hours, to compare watches and get information about them. I love G-Shock since i had my first, a DW-6600 in my last school years. I'm impressed by their way from then until now and the technical development. I was thinking about the GBD-H1000, because the watch looks great except the pushers, it has the sensors of the GW-9400 and all that fitness stuff as a bonus. Maybe the watch makes me sporty and you see me at Olympic games some day. 😂 Just a joke. I'm fascinated about the ideas and the technology of G-Shock, whether i need it or not. I would like to have a Frogman, and I'm not a diver. Mostly i buy a watch, because i want, not because i need it. But you are right, other watches suits me better the this watch. I will think about it.
@@MartinLuetzelberger You sound like a gadget guy like me also, so is it the fact that G-Shocks can work alone without all the fuss of connecting? The GBD-H1000 is very fitness focused, so maybe the new Casio G-Lide would be something, plus it has a different way to how it operates compared to regular G-Shocks. Maybe you'd also like a full analog G-Shock like the Gravitymaster??? The Frogman is something special with its build, and this is very noticeable.
Now there is no rules on my channel, and I'm not like TGV and the Time Teller with their flaff with rules along with their fashion plop... it's for you and to make you feel the happiest, and don't over think to what others say, as nobody is a watch guru.
Maybe the GPR-B1000 is the one, and you can use it to find your car if needed :-P
If you have any questions about certain G-Shocks I can help, can also post on the community page as there are some amazing viewers with more knowledge than myself :)
Great Review, can you tell us why rangeman is been discontinued?
Cheers buddy... many have said that this video despite not having the watch to hand, had the most useful facts without the fuss, and to show they're both different watches.
I did post on the community page to the reason why CASIO have stopped the GPR-B1000, but my thoughts is because of the costs to make such a watch, they haven't mentioned of a new Gen3 Rangeman, as usually they cross over... the GW-9400 is still in production with the release of the stealth blackout version. Will prices increase, I'm guessing maybe for next year, when less are available... still my ultimate watch :)))
Good day, Is the watch already released?.
In Japan it is... but Europe not officially yet... the App is really still in BETA form as far as I'm aware, and maybe still not available for Android... Maybe this month or in June... no one really knows for sure??? You can see a few on eBay, but are priced expensive :(
Is the watch useful for biking?
Looking at the instructions it seems that would work too... distance measurements by GPS with the option for auto start stop... the obvious timer and HR is also included... there is zone options, but without knowing fully how the app works I can’t give more details... have pinned the link to the PDF instructions in the comments so you can look at all it can do ;)
WatchUP69 Mr Rangeman thanks for your answer.
Nice one!
What Do you guys think about the heart rate monitor and calorimeter?
Do you guys think that will be accurate?
I have to say that all these gadgets for taking health readings is just to be used as a guild... your body burns different foods not always the same, the heart rate is probably the more accurate, but depends what activities you're doing, as the watch only needs to be lifted off your wrist quickly which equals a false reading, it's not a big deal but if you're wanting more accuracy then you'll need one of those HR belts around your waist, but these aren't comfortable and can slip... also they need washing as they can stink quite quickly... With a watch it's a good way to see how your performance in health is as long as you've entered your correct details about yourself. I've got three watches that measure HR's and calories and they're all a little different... but it's not a vast amount. To have anything accurate then you're looking at very hi-tech testing equipment, and this would have to be very controlled I'm sure... to measure your progress these types of watches are very convenient... and with the connected app you'll see your progress, also your lazy days LML :-P
If you need more information then I'm sure there's pages of this written, as the health side is taken pretty seriously... I'm also sure these watches are tested in many different ways with all types of peoples, before they have a watch they're happy with to release... but to find a wrist watch with HR and calories to be accurate hasn't been invented yet.... these are just a guidance as far as I've seen.
I'm sure there's plenty of experts in this field that can help you further. That's my view on it, hope it helps towards all your answers.
@@WatchUP69MrRangeman thank you very much dude:-)
Hi...may i know what is the latest model for rangeman?
Hey... GPR-B1000TF-1JR
WatchUP69 Mr Rangeman Thanks for d info
Can connect strava apps? Can it select training mode like marathon/half marathon?
Good questions... I can't find any information mentioning this, but considering that marathons are a huge part in fitness then I should imagine there is many options to add this... until the module user guide is released we won't know... keep an eye on G-Shocks website for the module manual which is coming soon... The Rangeman doesn't connect to anything but the G-Shock Connected app, so guess it's the same? We'll just have to wait a little longer to know for sure... sorry I can't give the answer :(
Rangeman 👍👍👍
Well I've been given the name so can't count me in, it'll be bias LML :-P
I think GBD's price is great and after some time we might get it with some discounts. Now GPR can be bought in UK around £600 if you research. What do you think about lifespan these watches? They are packed with so many features and technology comparing old school gshocks which last many years.
The GPR-B1000 still has a strong sale hold which is a good part... now it was only released in 2018 so can't tell, but looking at some of my vintage G-Shocks these are still functional, and with today's methods it should last further... just get a spare bezel and bumpers and I would guess this is lifetime... the carbon in the strap should prevent it from stretching so that looks like life long too... but it's also down to how you use it and clean it, as leaving sea water all over it isn't wise as you have no idea what chemicals are in there... The GBD-H1000 is at a good price, would see this dropping to around £350 after the hype... guess new colors will come after. Always look for discount codes is a must ;)
Good thing about these types of G-Shocks are the lithium batteries, easy to replace and also easy to obtain.. unlike those LiPo batteries found in smart watches.
