At 4:08 the animated second counter in the eye is shown this way because the stopwatch is active. This is not the normal display. When the stopwatch is not active, it shows as a second counter around the clock. Great watch and great tutorial!
After looking at alternatives for a couple of months, I bought this exact watch about 10 months ago largely because of this review. I love the watch, it’s the only one I’ve worn since it arrived. This thing is bombproof and extraordinarily accurate. The larger buttons make it easy to operate and move between functions, turn on the light, etc. I paid about $180 on Amazon. Thank you for this terrific review!
I just bought a new one today online from a major retailer for $132 as a clearance item. I realize it’s not the latest and greatest any longer but for that price I couldn’t resist trying it out.
I just got one. I read a lot of hype about this watch before purchasing. I am not disappointed. It deserves all the praise it gets. By far the most ‘G-Shock’ G-Shock you can buy. It’s built like a tank and has amazing features. I’m loving it!
Like many others in the comments, this is a watch I have been considering and this video really sold me on the features. Probably the most in depth video I've seen on the rangeman and also one of the most informative on how to use the watch. Thank you for putting in the time to record this video. Hopefully others get a chance to see this video. Instant subscribe! Thanks again.
Been watching this review for a while. Just received my first rangeman as a gift. Very cool to be watching this again, while holding the actual watch. Thank you for putting this video together.
Well, no, Casio doesn’t pay me nor give me watches for free nor any other deals. But at least I get something from RUclips when you guys watch my videos a lot. So, thank you.
The rangeman is good for a digital watch no doubt. BUT the HOLY GRAIL IS STILL KING OF KINGS. and sadly it is discontinued. BUT if u are 1 of the few elite who own 1 like myself. U are part of a LEGENDARY GODLY Group of ALPHA MALES. AN THE WATCH I SPEAK OF. IS THE LEGENDARY . *CASIO PROTREK PRW 2500.* 😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏 TO ALL who missed out on the ONLY DIGITAL WATCH IN THE ENTIRE WORLD TO HAVE EVERY POSSIBLE FEATURE EVER SEEN ON A WATCH ALL PUT TOGETHER ON 1 SINGLE WATCH. Well. RIP. it is sad indeed that u missed the train. Id advise. If u ever get a chance to get 1 for less than a million dollars. Id suggest u jump on it right about now. Cheers. 🤙🤙👍✌
@@navyvet05 I never said I bought the watch, but someone who was on the fence did watch this video and ended up purchasing because of this man’s review. Most likely anyway
Great review. I bought the Rangeman 2020 blackout edition because of you. The watch is looking bloody slick and handsome. Can't wait to take it to the mountains of Scottish Highlands after the lockdown. Cheers mate!
Gracias por su video Greg, I just bought this watch model from Ebay, and I'm really happy with my purchase, at the initial set up I discovered the watch had not been sync with the tower in Colorado since October of 2021 and it was only 3 seconds off, I'm always amazed at the accuracy of casio watches and I'm definitely a big fan of casio as well as your channel, keep up the good work!!!
Great video presentation, Greg. I've been looking at this "much more than a watch" for a while now. At fifty-seven, my dad still gives me Xmas and birthday money. He wanted me to buy something, so of course, I bought a bottle of booze, first.. Watched this video yesterday, and ended up buying this watch, a day after I looked at it, at the store.. Yes, full of functions which is the big selling point of having this one. It will take some time getting use to. I'm old school, and while I went for all the functions, perhaps a Gravity Master or Mud Master with the analog hands would have been more to what I am use to with a watch. The digital is not my style, but I am sure I will get use to it. More of a roll of the arm to check time, but it is a good and sturdy looking watch. I may have to lift some weights, again, to look as tough as this watch. I told my seventeen year old daughter she could have this when I'm dead. She said no thanks. ;-)
What a beast! The kid in me is still alive😊 It's on its way home...... PS: For anyone using a compass on the ground, barometric altimeters are not the ideal, yet they are an absolute necessity in aviation. It's about lift pressure for a plane vs it's true altitude, which are not always the same. I can't thank you enough for all this in-depht exploration of this watch! I enjoyed every minute of it. I'm pretty sure I won't need the manual after that (and I'm not the sharpest of the flock, it was THAT good). Be blessed mate, all the best 😊👍
Hi good video thanks. The indicator in the circle, in time mode was showing us that the stop watch was running. Different patern than when atop watch not running.
I have had this great watch for several months, as a watch geek, I do a lot of searches to learn as much as possible, I wanted to give you a thank you for your actualizing all the elements of this watch. I liked this watch, but your instructions and clarity of features has taken like to love. Thanks.
Thanks for the excellent thorough review! I just bought one of these 3 weeks ago, and am on my second one in exchange. I need an alarm, and am sending both of them back because there was no beep in any mode, alarm or timer, only to have the seller tell me the beep works! And sure enough when I checked the last returned 9400 it does, IF your ear is 2” from the watch! Otherwise it’s completely inaudible from only 3-4” away from your face! Really irritating, as I love the watch otherwise, but now have to send it back and get another brand. You would think they would have checked for the useless alarm before shipping a $250 watch. I guess I’ll see if Sunto has managed to make this super advanced hi-tech feature work in one of their models, as otherwise my only option is to make a sling to keep my wrist inches from my ear 24/7 so I can barely hear the tiny alarm tone.
Thank you for the video I just purchased mine today from a jewelry store (well know). Now it time to research the offset between “true north” & “magnetic north”
good video , ( still have a Q , on setting the date ) the close up shots are great, it is easier to read the details on your video than the rangeman in my hand .
4:22 this is not what the "pie" is normaly do in time keeping mode. That is the indicator tha stopwatch is running, as we see that later in video. When stopwatch is not running the pie is showing seconds in minute. Great review by the way. Proud owner of rangeman some 10 or more years😊
Great watch can't wait for mine this week, the sun set n sunrise the part where it's starts indicating n flashing in little circle is telling u how much of day o night u have
I am "burned out" on smartwatches and i think that this feature watch might be my savior. It rugged, it charges by solar, it has all those gimmicks that i like so much. So this is basically a watch that you can put on your wrist once and never take it of. ;-) Thank you for this grat review.
@@NathanChisholm041 I bought it a few weeks after watching this video. And I love it. I am using Stop Watch and Timer more than i am willing to admit and you can find plenty of stuff to customize it.
@@isegrim1978 That's what I like to! I'm getting the OD green strap and bezel for it to switch it up a bit. Yeah, the instant start stop watch is really cool too.
@@NathanChisholm041 i got bullbars from JaysAndKays and thinking about their strap adapter and the glow in the dark wristband (outside is black, but the inside glows) from one of the ProTrek watches.
planning to get this G-SHOCK RANGEMAN..since its again..SOLAR POWERED...same as the G-SHOCK -MUD-MASTER...i had....thank you for the depth review...it was so helpful.
It's funny why no one talked about the dimness of this timepiece! I own one and it's my favorite G-Shock of all the others that I own but this dim display put me in doubt. However, it really depends on the angle you view the watch. Other than that, it's handsdown a hell of a G-Shock!
I found this out; with stormwarning set on,the manuallyl r/c radio time settings won´t work.The manual only said when the countdwnwn is running.´I´found it our my.self just now..What a great abc watch it is. I´m a g-shock fan.Greetings
Excellent informative review. Looking for a radio solar watch with barometer to replace my Suunto Vector. Otherwise perfect, but would like option to select date format to dd.mm. Maybe they will do U version of this watch that has the option.
Very good, very thorough, so thorough that I'm sure you would have touched upon this if it existed, but does this model have VIBRATION Alarm. I would like one of these mid range Casios with vibration alarm, THANKS.
Just watch the video of it going over 1000 hours so had to check out the goat review. Such a over the top watch. I have a garmin solar instinct for my hiking biking wilderness in Colorado and Arizona watch but no way Is at cool as the range man.
I have this watch for 3 months now and other than Bluetooth this is the most feature rich affordable Gshock or Protrek I've ever owned. You can get these for under $300 cdn now and it has ALL the feature you could ever want but one out of a Protrek/Gshock: - solar - so important for Gshocks and Protreks considering their poor 2 year batteries on non solar. I loath having to do this on my older Gshocks so much that I'm considering dumping anything that dosen't last at least 5 years or is solar. - radio atomic control (Id take blue tooth over this with the tower shut down rumors). I have bluetooth on my dual timezone edifice and damn Casio is doing Bluetooth right on their watches. - adjustable backlight with a front pusher. I wish more digital watches did this. A nice easy spot to find the light button in the middle of the night is an awesome feature. - all metal pushsers with great knurling - dual time zone - temp. barameter. altimeter and compass sensor - stopwatch - timer - 4 alarms with snooze - sunrise/sunset - altimeter memory - I could really do without this but when you look at the bluetooth capable watches and how they combine this with your phones gps its an awesome feature. Without bluetooth this is only for the hardcore hickers. - radio update info My only negative is the propritary straps so I had to get adapters to put a paratrooper strap on it. I really wish casio went the Safari protrek route and used Springbars on all their watches so people could more easily customize them. Especially when you see the exorberant price that they charge for replacement straps. Also I'd like bluetooth but this watch predates that tech and thats ok. Casio Bluetoth is great. But a watch just being a watch is great too.
love the video but I cant manually sync it for some reason it doesn't even say hold button and theres no countdown timers running do you now how to get it to work again?
The Multiband 6 reception is only available in certain time zones which are supposed to be in range but if, for example, I set the zone to somewhere in Australia or New Zealand then it won’t try at all to receive. The manual says which time zones are good to use for Multiband 6. Which time zone are you using?
Just bought the green one, it shipped today. I know the negative display will be a little tougher to read...but it adds to the look of the watch imo. Also have a black bull bar to go on it.
I was going to say this, but decided to check the comments first. I like the little minute counter in that eye. I also like that the little eye can let you know of other things the watch is doing like a stop watch. currently the Rangeman is the best watch I have, and a great selection of features.
Great comment I thought something was off with this as the others have seen do not have the same pattern in the eye of the watch... you're exactly right, good catch
Good morning. I just received my GW9400 and love it. My question is that got it on medium power. Once it reaches high how long should I keep charging it once high starts ? Facing sun through my window. I live in Rhode Island so its cold lol
Este debe ser uno de los “reviews” más completos que he visto de un reloj. Felicitaciones!!! Tengo una duda respecto a la salida y puesta de sol (sunrise y súmate): que tan exacto es ese dato siendo que la configuración está basada agregando latitud y longitud en el reloj?
Great review! I just bought this watch and I love it. It's good looking very functional. My question is what is the difference between this one and the new version 3 please? Please let me know. Thanks again
great review, thanks! my rangeman does not allow manual reception of the time. by pressing the A key in R\C mode the procedure does not start… can you give me some indications? Thank you
@@GoodTimekeeper the problem inadvertently resolved itself…In any case thanks for your reply! My g-shock is on the time zone of my city (Rome) and the countdown was never active at that time. Boh? 😊
I have the 5610 and the Mudmaster (2019) with very similar buttons to this Rangeman. I can relate to your sentiment. I love how small the 5610, and yes the buttons are tiny, but not worth the cost of the BT enabled full-metal squares of recent times. I love my Muddy, but still attracted to this digital equivalent!
When I have it set for NYC time it always shows time one hour ahead even though I set it at correct time it changes its self during night like after 12Am
@@GoodTimekeeper May I ask you a question? I am moving to Arizona soon. How will my Rangeman 9400 handle the time zone/daylight savings time situation there? Thanks!
You can set the local time to “DEN” for the Denver or Mountain Time zone and then put the DST setting to “Off” (instead of On or Auto). And then you’ll be all set for Arizona. EXCEPT the Navajo Nation does observe Daylight Saving Time, if I recall correctly.
Thank you, Greg. I appreciate your thoughtful content and passion for these g-shock watches. I doubt you’ll get to this, but assuming this Rangeman meets all of my needs, do you think there’s any reason to go above and beyond to the Mudmaster? I’ve thought if buying the Mudnaster and have no problem doing so but I’m not e tiredly sold on the second generation and am considering getting a Rangeman instead. If you ir any if your viewers have any thoughts on this it’s appreciated. Thank you and I hope everyone is well.

Actually it is one of few G Shocks with a deal breaker: it easily breaks where the band is attached to the case.

Excellent informative review. Looking for a radio solar watch with barometer to replace my Suunto Vector. Otherwise perfect, but would like option to select date format to dd.mm. Maybe they will do U version of this watch that has the option.
In 2021, is there a better, newer watch out, or these are the best? What is a reputable source to buy in the USA?
my barometric pressurereading graph is showing small area only why not covering whole area?
Ordered mone yesterday... Can't wait to arrive...
Just bought one .They are really made well
Excellent review and channel.
Very good, very thorough, so thorough that I'm sure you would have touched upon this if it existed, but does this model have VIBRATION Alarm. I would like one of these mid range Casios with vibration alarm, THANKS.

best g-shock ever made
I have this watch for 3 months now and other than Bluetooth this is the most feature rich affordable Gshock or Protrek I've ever owned. You can get these for under $300 cdn now and it has ALL the feature you could ever want but one out of a Protrek/Gshock:
- solar - so important for Gshocks and Protreks considering their poor 2 year batteries on non solar. I loath having to do this on my older Gshocks so much that I'm considering dumping anything that dosen't last at least 5 years or is solar.
- radio atomic control (Id take blue tooth over this with the tower shut down rumors). I have bluetooth on my dual timezone edifice and damn Casio is doing Bluetooth right on their watches.
- adjustable backlight with a front pusher. I wish more digital watches did this. A nice easy spot to find the light button in the middle of the night is an awesome feature.
- all metal pushsers with great knurling
- dual time zone
- temp. barameter. altimeter and compass sensor
- stopwatch
- timer
- 4 alarms with snooze
- sunrise/sunset
- altimeter memory - I could really do without this but when you look at the bluetooth capable watches and how they combine this with your phones gps its an awesome feature. Without bluetooth this is only for the hardcore hickers.
- radio update info
My only negative is the propritary straps so I had to get adapters to put a paratrooper strap on it. I really wish casio went the Safari protrek route and used Springbars on all their watches so people could more easily customize them. Especially when you see the exorberant price that they charge for replacement straps. Also I'd like bluetooth but this watch predates that tech and thats ok. Casio Bluetoth is great. But a watch just being a watch is great too.
A friend of mine has this model. I opted for the PRW-2500 instead. Both are awesome!
love the video but I cant manually sync it for some reason it doesn't even say hold button and theres no countdown timers running do you now how to get it to work again?
The Multiband 6 reception is only available in certain time zones which are supposed to be in range but if, for example, I set the zone to somewhere in Australia or New Zealand then it won’t try at all to receive. The manual says which time zones are good to use for Multiband 6. Which time zone are you using?
Hi when the alarm activated. Will the light start blinking?
any storm alarm?
It has
What a great review. Buying now.
Another great video, Greg!
HOLY SH*T! WHAT A GREAT REVIEW! Im between this & the MudMaster
I have both, and it’s always a toss up which watch I throw on my wrist. Save up for both you won’t be sorry🙏🏼✅🤩
Just bought the green one, it shipped today. I know the negative display will be a little tougher to read...but it adds to the look of the watch imo. Also have a black bull bar to go on it.
The eye looks like that because u have stopwatch running im background.when the stopwatch is off it counts the seconds in a minute
I was going to say this, but decided to check the comments first. I like the little minute counter in that eye. I also like that the little eye can let you know of other things the watch is doing like a stop watch. currently the Rangeman is the best watch I have, and a great selection of features.
Great comment I thought something was off with this as the others have seen do not have the same pattern in the eye of the watch... you're exactly right, good catch
Just purchase this watch thank you for this the instruction manual is a pain.
Good morning. I just received my GW9400 and love it. My question is that got it on medium power. Once it reaches high how long should I keep charging it once high starts ? Facing sun through my window. I live in Rhode Island so its cold lol
Este debe ser uno de los “reviews” más completos que he visto de un reloj. Felicitaciones!!! Tengo una duda respecto a la salida y puesta de sol (sunrise y súmate): que tan exacto es ese dato siendo que la configuración está basada agregando latitud y longitud en el reloj?
Great review! I just bought this watch and I love it. It's good looking very functional. My question is what is the difference between this one and the new version 3 please? Please let me know. Thanks again
I love the stop watch on this Module 💪
Thanks for the detailed review💎
Thank you!
1. what's your favorite watch? If GW9400, then how often do you wear it in a month?
Gracias Greg!! 👍🏼👍🏼
Hello sir,
Great review, can the band be replaced?
Thank you.
I know there’s a Jays and Kays adapter set so that folks can use a NATO-style strap.

Thank you very much. I'm thinking of getting the ⌚
Great video just bought mine.
Great video of a god tier watch👏
great review, thanks! my rangeman does not allow manual reception of the time. by pressing the A key in R\C mode the procedure does not start… can you give me some indications? Thank you
The first things I check are: What is your location? What time zone is the watch set to? Is there a countdown timer running?
@@GoodTimekeeper the problem inadvertently resolved itself…In any case thanks for your reply! My g-shock is on the time zone of my city (Rome) and the countdown was never active at that time. Boh? 😊
Great review, but would liked to see a wrist shot and that you measured the diameter and thickness.
That was a good informative review. Thank you.
I’m surprised you didn’t go over the storm track/pressure change alert feature.
You're easily surprised
Thank You, I love my Rangerman 9400
Excellent review... I enjoyed this video.
Tell me about the pointer please.
I got the 5610 g shock but I can’t stop looking at the 9400 rangeman! My only gripe with the 5610 is that the buttons are very small
I have the 5610 and the Mudmaster (2019) with very similar buttons to this Rangeman. I can relate to your sentiment. I love how small the 5610, and yes the buttons are tiny, but not worth the cost of the BT enabled full-metal squares of recent times. I love my Muddy, but still attracted to this digital equivalent!
That's why I sold mine the buttons are so hard to get to plus it looked stupid on my 8.5in wrist. Get the 9400 it's a beast...
And the pressure graph is amazing. It looks like a. Stock market graph but it’s not. That’s why it’s amazing.
When I have it set for NYC time it always shows time one hour ahead even though I set it at correct time it changes its self during night like after 12Am
Sunrise time and sunset time are located there because there are more night ops so knowing when the sunrise is is more important
Why does the circular indicator show the East direction at the 9 o'clock position. Shouldn't it be at the 3 o'clock position?
It is 2022 , do you still think gw9400 is best G-SHOCK
Just bought the rangeman GW 9400 in the military green, very nice, bulky watch.
But so hard to read. I will sell mine.
Tons of good information, thanks! Really helpful.
I’m glad you liked it.
@@GoodTimekeeper May I ask you a question? I am moving to Arizona soon. How will my Rangeman 9400 handle the time zone/daylight savings time situation there? Thanks!
You can set the local time to “DEN” for the Denver or Mountain Time zone and then put the DST setting to “Off” (instead of On or Auto). And then you’ll be all set for Arizona. EXCEPT the Navajo Nation does observe Daylight Saving Time, if I recall correctly.
@@GoodTimekeeper Thanks very much! You’re right about the Navajo Nation and DST I believe. Thanks for the reply. I appreciate you taking the time!
Thank you, Greg. I appreciate your thoughtful content and passion for these g-shock watches. I doubt you’ll get to this, but assuming this Rangeman meets all of my needs, do you think there’s any reason to go above and beyond to the Mudmaster? I’ve thought if buying the Mudnaster and have no problem doing so but I’m not e tiredly sold on the second generation and am considering getting a Rangeman instead. If you ir any if your viewers have any thoughts on this it’s appreciated. Thank you and I hope everyone is well.
