![CASIO G-SHOCK GPR B1000 Rangeman - Best FULL Tutorial + FULL Navigation Tutorial [with time stamps]](/img/n.gif)
Grew up with Casio & G-Shocks & a long time user. As growing older I need to be more active to keep myself fit. Started looking for a G-Shock for gym + hiking + rucking + other outdoor activities.
This is when I found that Garmin does it miles better - got rid of a GW-9400 Rangeman & a Protrek to fund towards a Garmin Fenix. Many of the Garmin features should've appeared in G-Shocks ages ago. Now Casio is just many miles behind Garmin.
as someone having Fenix 7x for long outdoor sessions, Apple Watch Ultra for daily work and of course, the 9400 for the lulz, i am agree with you. current Casio 'smart' watches are just comparable to the ancient Fenix 3😂, no offense here. but hey, i might getting this new Rangeman, the design..i like..alongside the GWG-B1000
with all the slow-limited-missing-wish it had-should haves mentioned by him how can anyone justify the price of this thing
don't recall a drop/abuse test mentioned isn't that the legacy of the g-shock
I've been waiting for this review. Thanks! I'm a big G-Shock fan and am really looking forward to using this.
Hope you enjoy it!
I think it is worth noting that a watch like this from g shock will charge on solar power within the day unlike garmin solar (refering to instinct 1) that takes about 2 weeks of sitting outside to charge up. So while the battery in the g shock is smaller and doesnt seem to last as long, the better solar charging keeps it going when you actually get sunlight. The 2 month in smart watch mode is basically indefinite. The 2 years on regular watch mode is absolute basic power saving sitting in a dark room, even an hour of sunlight a year would be enough to keep it going. Thats the difference between garmin and g shock, no gimmicks on the watch that dont live up to the advertising. It is easy to put features in a watch that don't work, but casio has been making solar powered, gps and heart rate monitoring watches since the 80s before our phones lost their chords and gained touch screens.
I have alway bought G-Shocks, I even had the GBD 1000, but last year I purchased from watching this channel the Instinct 2X. It’s been fabulous, the HR sensor is so much more accurate and it’s fine to sleep with.
Excellent review I have been studying the GPRH I will also research Garmin now. I had already researched the Coros on my list!
Thanks Again I’m on the right track!
I am also considering this watch, and your review has given me very good suggestions, especially in terms of battery life. Thank you very much.
I was a huge G-Shock fan. I still have a collection of them including the original Rangeman. They are good reliable watches before all these smart watches became main stream. I now have an Garmin Epix 2 and I wear that watch everyday. I think G-Shock is still kinda stuck in the 90s. They definitely need to make a lot of improvements and catch up with the times.
Their phone app is just hot garbage. I had a GDB-H2000. While the watch is nice and wears very comfortably, the phone app is just disgusting to use. Also, they need to keep releasing software updates to their watches. It is no longer acceptable to just release a watch and then forget about it.
The app has gotten a lot better but it’s still got a ways to go before it’s compete with the other big names out there! Thanks for sharing!
couldnt agree more. well said. i have garmin epix pro 2, and previosly owned many fenix series. and i do still have soem G-Shock. casio stuck back in 90's . their technology in term of software and capability. accuracy very poor compared to modern smart watch espcially garmin. but rhey are still best durable watches
couldn’t agree more man. i love casio and have a small collection of casios both g shocks and pro treks. after being given an apple watch i just can’t really justify wearing them anymore except for special circumstances. once i buy a garmin fenix i don’t think i’ll ever buy another watch. i just wish casio would build something closer to a fenix. if they did, i along with many others would buy it. but instead they stick to all these collaborations and insane color-ways and model variations. they must just want to stick to the formula that has worked for them.
my gbdh1000 is on update 9. Theyre currently moving it over to the new casio app and away from g shock move as they have done with the other watches. THey are developing their own in house operating systems and apps rather than piggy backing off google etc who notoriously drop their old product lines with a year or two in a bid to sell newer hardware. The watches are designed around efficiency and self sustainability rather than trying to do as much as possible and needing to be taken off to be charged every 7 days. THe solar is the most misunderstood and misrepresented part, garmin solar is a sales gimick while casio's solar actually works within a day.
@@freddykruger3320Are we talking about the same watch or about the same comapany, even ?
Great review as always. G shock takes me back to my youth, and I’m north of 50 now. Used to have a couple of g shocks and loved them. Unfortunately they look so dated now, though I do love the rugged look. A 1 inch monochrome screen just doesn’t seem that great though, and at 500 bucks you have to be freakin’ joking. Thanks Dave.
Thanks for this really useful review. Exactly what I was looking for.
same here can that thing do ANYTHING better than a competitor
Yesterday, I received mine from Japan. I bought it for 2 reasons: 1- Im a G- shock fan and need an upgrade 2- like the fact that has a heart rate monitor something the newest Mudmaster lacks. However, it doesn’t substitute my Garmin tactix 7. Great video
Fantastic review, great info and observations 👍👍👍
It's been a comprehensive review, good job. Greetings from turkey
After using it for about 3 weeks. The GPS has become faster and more accurate with more use (not sure if the recent app maintenance helped maybe).
HR is pretty similar to my Garmin instinct 2x.
I don't have all of the features on all of the time besides notifications and some short GPS tracking use. And I've only lost one bar of battery. 👌🏼
Great review, thanks Dave.
Instinct 2X is awesome. I've got pretty large wrists so the size doesnt affect me, but it lasts forever and the light is consistently getting use, especially with sundown around 5:30pm right now
I've got the solar 1 and looking at the 2x solar tactical. I would love to know, have you tried charging this thing on sunlight only? I usually leave my instinct 1 out in the sun to charge in powersaving mode when it gets low just to test it out how long it takes to get to a high charge.
@@freddykruger3320 I haven't tried giving it a charge with sunlight, I've only had it in winter months so far. But the 2x shows how much light you've taken in and I manage about 8-10k lux in the car on an hour drive so I would expect it to charge pretty well.
@@freddykruger3320 I have a 2x solar since july 2023 and charged it 2 or 3 times. This morning is sunny, I put it near the window in direct sunlight and it went to 27 days to 31 days authonomy in just 2.5 hours. In the sime time my fenix 7pro (turned off) increased its authonomy by less than 1 day.
Great review! As Casio build the first running watch with lots of storage and programmable trainings, back in 1985, it is so disappointing what they deliver today!
Totally agreed with your video, i just bought this new Rangeman because im a ghock fans, in other hand i use garmin fenix for my fitness activities.
This was such an awesome and thorough review. 😎🤙🏼
Glad it was helpful!
The best video so far for the new rangeman. I am really disappointed from Casio, that’s no long awaited upgrade for the gpr b1000. But I ordered it because I am a g Shock fan, and I will try it out in real live. Maybe it can convince me 😜
Greetings from Germany
I am Korean. Nevertheless, your English pronunciation is so accurate and pleasant to listen to, making it easy for me to understand. Thank you for creating such great content!
At that price, I would consider other options for sure. The Garmin Instinct 2X would be a solid 1st option.
gorilla glass, lol, plastic throw away watch with pseudo solar
@@freddykruger3320 I'm a mechanic and wore the first generation instinct for over 3 years with zero problems. Banging the watch face against all types of different materials and it only has a few scratches.
so? its still gorilla glass with a case that can't be opened without breaking it. If being a mechanic was supposed to be some sort of proof that its tough, remember, the internet is an easy place to lie, and, if you dont scratch gorilla glass while working as a mechanic, you might be considered a bit of a slacker
@@freddykruger3320 whatever you want to believe!
To me The Rangeman will always be the GW9400. If the reinvent the watch they should give it a new name. Also, I still have an Original Instinct solar. Works just fine.
As in the GDB series, this display is very easy to read and I like it a lot. This is the biggest advantage of these watches.
Perfect review. It's very informative and honest. 👍👏👏 Thank you so much to help my decision about this watch. 🙏✌
Glad it was helpful!
Great review buddy. Been waiting for an opinion on the Rangeman H1000. My initial thoughts when I saw it, overpriced and no where near as good as the Garmin Instinct 2X, which I upgraded to over a Fenix 6 Solar. The 2X will take some beating IMO, but good to hear more about the H1000 and your opinions on it. I definitely won't be buying. It's a shame as I love G-Shocks and own quite a few of them but Casio seem to have completely missed the beat on these fitness watches.
I had a ProTrek 3510. I wore it to work for a week and ended up returning it. The bulkiness was too much. The temp sensor kept digging into my arm and the reversed screen wasn't very legible. I ended up getting Garmin Instinct at less than half price of this Gshock and it's night and day. Garmin is so comfortable and very customizable including the buttons, light, etc. Not to mention it's an ABC watch with navigation, and no phone is needed to use those features. And the battery lasts forever. No more chunky Gshocks. This one looks even fatter than my ProTrek.
That was the pressure sensor you're talking about. The temp sensor is built into the main board of the watch.
@@traviswalker8933 Ah. Thank you. Shows how much I know lol
Looks really great on your wrist 👍
Have this. I liked the GBD-H2000 and I just always wanted it to look more beefy. And it's exactly that!
No shortage of beef here!
I owned a gbd-H2000 which is basically the same watch with different design, then went to an instinct 2x and apart from the "gshock clan" vibe, nothing was in favor of the Casio (yet it's a nice belonging feeling, a bit like Miata owners salute themselves when they cross paths :) ). Everything it did the Garmin did better (especially the app). Well, now I settled on a Fenix 7 pro SS anyway :p
thanks for the details bro
SOFTWARE UPDATE:
Just an FYI that the GPR-H1000 received an update, which enables much faster satellite connection.
Massive practical improvement.
I'm so impressed with this piece, and it's usability now.
IMHO, it's an issue that should've been addressed before release in that I believe damage was done to the reputation of both Casio and the Gshock/ Rangeman name.
That said, this watch is now a complete workhorse for me.
I love it.
Hey... do you have problem with sending activites to Strava? After the update ... the activities wont upload to strava... it says in Casio app that I am linked to Strava...when I go manually upload by click on send to strava..nothing .. do you have the same problem maybe ? Thx
I love the G Shock because of its solid rough look and had been a G Shock wearer for 30 years. But then i was introduced to the Garmin fenix 7x pro sapphire solar, and im sold. So i brought it for me at the cost of a screaming wife. Luckily for me, i also brought me some awesome samsung buds to drown out the screaming. Awesome review
Great Review 👍🏿
Great review Dave!
100% Real and Honest!
Thank God ordinary people make tech reviews too, and not only professional CZcamsrs and Influencers!
2-5 Minutes for GPS sync, No Weather, No Maps...
I know it is $500 and not $1100 like the Garmin's, but the other thing that I know too is the current year is 2024... and the overall filling is like this watch is from 2014!
It is a shame how the Titan like Casio does not use the opportunity and does not make this watch Really stack up with features for the outdoors, but probably the problem is in the Satellite support and they have none in comparison with Garmin InReach established applications, services, and team to support the whole thing.
Perfect rugged watch!
i have another GPS Rangeman with tracking thats solar. After maybe 4 years of ownership it has been charged once. I underuse it, but love it. Then bought Garmin instinct solar. I charge this every 3 weeks. Was going to update to a better Garmin, but as a Gshock fan and someone who doesnt need all stuff, just basic O2, sleep and pacing, this is the one for me....
This watch is so cool. It’s winner.
My next G-Shock. ❤
Thank you for this video, honest and informative as you know how to provide them. Keep up the excellent work !
Being a huge Casio fan and old timer user since 1982 the Garmin Instinct 2X (regular or tactical) is just the G-Shock killer in my own humble opinion.
Casio is way behind Garmin now in terms of ergonomy and functions.
Now I wear an Epix Pro 51mm and Casio is something of the past I still cherish though. I do still own a all titanium GMWB5000TB-1, aka “Stealth Wealth", which I wear on the right wrist in pure nostalgia mode.
I totally get the nostalgia of the G-Shock devices. I think that's why they still have no problem selling them. There is a market of people that don't want an overly "smart" or connected device on their wrist and just want something to tell time, have great battery life, and occasionally track runs while also keeping that distinct look. For me? I tend to look at things a bit more pragmatically and that's where I struggle with the price of this watch.
As a garmin and gshock fan, hands down for price. Garmin wins with its features. And I wear my rangeman for the most part. Older one. But price for price I’m picking garmin. But just because I will be buying this one soon just to add with the collection. But I do feel like gshock is not it when it comes to recording data. They have always been a great rugged watch. Great review by the way.
Great review bro,, I´m between GBD H2000 and this one (GPR H1000)... Rangeman looks really cool
Same here,probably I’ll go with GBD-H2000 ,it’s 30g less than GPR-H1000
Good review 🙂👍🏼. I love Casio watches, I have a few of them, including the Rangeman GPRB-1000 and the GWG-1000, which are great and are ‘tanks’ of watches, but to me, this offering from Casio is a little half baked. ‘If’ they did their homework on the competition, refined the software, both on the device and within the app, had the ability to connect to external HRM’s etc, and put all that in the form factor of a pro-trek PRW-35, (or similar sized offering), it would be ideal and I would definitely buy it.
Casio don’t seem serious about getting a foothold in the fitness market, they have the knowledge and could easily have a great product, which could compete with the likes of the Instinct 2X if they wanted to. It’s really disappointing that they don’t seem to be trying. Right now, I’m wearing the Instinct 2X tactical, because it does everything I need, (and then some) and far as I’m concerned, there isn’t a watch out there that can match it, with its features and at its price range.
Best overall review I have seen. I would note that some people (like me) prefer g shock as they don’t need the advanced tracking features and prefer something tougher. And he is right, features Garmin. Tougher g shock.
You've got the best presentations of watches!You and some asian guy(you two are the best of all)!👍
J'ai cette montre depuis le 20 janvier 2024. Elle est absolument parfaite pour mon usage en plein air.
Peux-tu détailler l'autonomie de la montre stp ?
Great review. You were able to sum it up pretty good. G-Shock has definitely secured the market on the "durability" need of consumers but still lags behind technology-wise, unfortunately. Was hoping for better from a $500 watch, but wow, the watch is sharp. Garmin has secured the "fitness" need of consumers, but can't compete with the durability of G-Shock even with their Instinct 2X, which is no surprise. I guess it all depends on the buyer's wants and needs, and you covered that perfectly here. I will likely purchase the Instinct 2X Solar Tactical as an everyday health and fitness tracker, but I will wear my G-Shock GW-9400 and my G-Shock Mudmaster GWG-1000 on occasion. I will also keep those G-Shocks close by in the event that nuke takes out my Garmin. Both the Casios and the Garmins have their place. 😏
Agree with your statement. I have a Garmin tactix for hiking/fitness watch- but at times I just want to have less functions/simplicity/toughness that g shocks bring.
I just find the Garmin watches to be really bad looking. I don't know why ... not a single model captivated me with its looks - no contest on utility and or functionality though, but to me, wearing a watch is still 50% looks lol (I'm a mechanical watch guy, I wear G-Shocks sometimes when I go work outside in the field to save my mechs from destruction). But honestly though, I wish Garmin would spend some resources on watch design, they all look so bland and mostly tasteless to me.
J'adore les g-shock mais les arguments positifs et négatifs que vous énumérés sont pertinents.
Une très bonne revue en tout cas!
Une belle montre de survivaliste.
J'ai une gw-9400 et j'aurai aimé acheter la gpr-h1000 mais pour 500€ Casio à encore un ou deux coups de retard par rapport à la concurrence.
Je pense partir sur une Garmin instinc 2x solar.
Merci encore pour ce test de qualité.
Salutation de 🇨🇵
Glad it was helpful!
Great video
That's a no to the G-Shock after watching this and yes to instinct 2X
Thanks for the review!
While I'm a big G-Shock fan, I do completely agree with your comments on the functionality (lack of it!) and the sensors. I have a Garmin Instinct 2 Solar and boy, I think it's a better watch than the GPR-H1000. The GPS was a big letdown IMO while I could not come to terms with the sleep recovery mode.
The watch looks really cool but it didn't justify the amount that I spent on it. Would have rather spent the same amount on an Instinct 2X Solar.
great tattoo "μου λείπεις". Nice review
Fantastic review, take a Bow sir. Ive just ordered my new ranger from Casio, apparently you cant have the baro trend in top window! Taking a shower is about my limit with exercise, im more into the ABC functions, hoping the baro has a storm alert for sudden pressure. Really hoping im not disappointed with this.
Hope you like it!
Yeah, same here, I'm more interested in the ABC side of the watch too, I kind of wish they just stuck with that and didn't include all the fitness stuff in there - they already have a fitness range, they should have kept such features there.
For Decades G-Shock was all I wore, especially the GBD and Rangeman series. Then I switched to Garmin watches. Started with the Instinct, Fenix 5, Fenix 6X, Currently Tactix 7 Pro.
Although I miss my G-Shocks, I don't regret making the move over to Garmin.
Similar. I use Garmin when I train, as their fitness watches are miles ahead. I still use g shock when I don’t want to be connected as much
Thanks!
Thank you!
I tried a Garmin Fenix then a full metal G-Shock 5000. Both are far far away to a good smartwatch. Sometimes, very rare i forget my phone at home. With a smartwatch i can call and receive calls and WhatsApp messages.
But to be fair, in some scenarios i still rely on my G-Shock GD350BR. It took an insane amount of punishment, i love that watch!
Great review as always Dave. I love G-Shocks but this looks even bigger than the Instinct 2X. Would you say that it wears larger than the Instinct 2X. I’m seriously thinking of going from the OG Instinct Solar to the 2X but concerned about the size.
Honestly just upgrade to a 2x the sensor that casio uses is oddly uncomfortable if you want to wear this all the time but garmin is comfortable and just feels like any other watch in your wrist
Excelente
I have had G-squad 1000 which seems to be pretty similar to this new Rangeman. The heart rate function did not work good, though. It did not work when arms are moving. Too bad because I bought it for running.
But the MIP display is awesome: legibility is better than the most positive displays!
Does the heart rate of this Rangeman work better than G-squad 1000?
I love the look and design of this. I have an instinct 2 solar which does everything I need but it looks soulless to me.
Thanks for the review. I was hoping that the accuracy will be much better. I like my trusty G-Shocks, they are fun, but when it comes to the training i will stick with my Fenix 7 and Edge 530 + HRM Pro. I love the look of that beast, but for 500 bucks I would expect better accuracy!
I think accuracy is fixed with firmware.
Good review! You can also go for Honor GS Pro which will eat all 3 of those watches for breakfast for a quarter of the price. Amoled display, gps, voice calls etc, etc...
I'll have to check it out. My only experience with Honor watches wasn't very good last year!
Hello. As for the watch, it's great. It's a pity that the price is not the same as gdb h2000. these are actually twin structures. 🙂
I was thinking to switch from Garming fenix 7 solar to this watch as i like G_shock watches but unfortunately G_shock is not there yet! Thanks for this review anyways
Dave, I have the same wrist size as you. Do you feel watches bigger than 42-44mm look good on your wrist? I always had the Fenix S, and now I have an Epix 42. But I don't know if it's worth trying the 47mm. All the best!!
Kinda depends on the watch. I love the size/weight of the Forerunner 965 even though on paper it's very similar to a 47mm Epix/Fenix but I find those a bit less comfortable (but still OK for daily wear). I only start to run into watches feeling "too big" when I wear the Epix/Fenix 51mm's or this Casio. I can pull it off but sometimes I find them frustrating to sleep with. Of course, it's all personal preference!
A crown would be useful to scroll through all those functions on the watch. From what I saw here, it looks like a Garmin or Suunto would be better for the activity tracking features and I would try to find a GW-9400 if I wanted a Rangeman G-Shock.
Great review! Thank you! I currently own a Garmin Fenix 6. Does this G Shock allow you to register multi sports like Triathlon? Thanks in advance!
Thanks! Nope, there's no multi-sport support on the GPRH1000
This is a great review! Thank you) Greetings from Ukraine!
I recently got a Garmin Instinct 2X, I am very pleased with it. Although there are still enough shortcomings))
What about garmin tactix 7 pro amoled?
@@davidarchangels6500 Are you really comparing these watches??? these are completely different price categories. Also various different functions and wearing comfort (the weight of the watch matters)
can the solar charge work if its used only as a regular watch? no bluetooth nor sensors nor gps and those things?
This Watch is amazing but should come at 290 max inc comparison with what others offer
Awesome video, thanks. I am not sure about the solar charging capability: in the official video interview with a Japanese engineer, he says that solar ONLY recharges the "basic" functions (display / watch), whereas USB recharges the "smart" functions (HR, GPS, etc). Is my understanding correct?
In other words - can it fully charge on solar alone, or the charging is "compartmentalised"? Thank you
I think if you're in "battery saver mode" it will charge the watch but with bluetooth turned on it likely will just slow down the discharge. Not totally sure though!
It looks better than Garmin, Suunto, Apple or Polar.... If the rangeman uses the same technologies.... It sweeps away....!!!
😉😉😉
Świetna recenzja.
Ja zastanawiam się pomiędzy casio GPR-H1000 a Garmin instinct 2x solar.
Hope it was helpful! Like I said in the video the Instinct 2X is a much more feature packed watch in my opinion. The G-Shock is all about the look/feel and brand.
Good review, but I will stick with my all reliable Fenix 6X Pro Solar
I still wear the Casio GBD-H1000 and im switching to the Garmin Fenix7. Casio doesn't update their watches. Its pretty lackluster, unfortunately.
💯 Agree.
They update it by releasing a new model.
It is absolutely ridiculous that they simply refuse to support their watches.
Fenix 6X Pro here. Bought on release. Used to wear nothing but GShock. Still a fan of them, but there's really no comparing it to a Fenix. I haven't even looked at another watch since. They're not perfect, but very close. I wanted a tough watch that could also be smart, and not require charging every day or two. It fit that bill.
@@J.Wick. No joke, I saw you on classic firearms FN510 video, that's my daily carry
What about battery life when heart rate, sleep tracking, HRV? and messages are turned on. As my Garmin Instinct 2X Solar can stay online for 40 days.
I thought about buying this watch but it seems to be worse like in the past.
Also Alarm features have been not developed since the 1980s to setup for whole week, working days, or whatever special is possible at Garmin. If alarm needs to be turned off you need to disable them.
Nice video but outcome is much more clear to stay with Garmin instead Casio. Especially the torch light is daily used more often at the Instinct.
Thanks for the review:)
It looks amazing
But like you said it’s better to go for the garmin instinct 2x solar for that price👌
Loving that watch 🫶
Maybe v2 of this watch is the one to get I find g shock to be very complicated to use but love their design and durability
Not a super big fan of gshock but they do look good and rugged. Please update if you have info on the next Fenix 8 or Epix since I am holding my purchase.
The Epix/Fenix Pro models just came out in May of 2023 so I wouldn't expect anything major in that line anytime soon.
nice video to learn with, but is it worth having that?? if you have the GBD-H2000??/ which so similar on that GPR-H1000?????
This one is a slight step up from a GBD-H2000 in my opinion. It's got a better build quality, and gains the Polar features along with a few more activity profiles. Aside from that they're all very similar.
@@ChaseTheSummit thanks for your opinion...well i was planning to purchase this but of course getting some thoughts from some professional people like you your opinion counts a lot....stay well and thanks
I need help sir I own Mudmaster ggb100 suddenly it’s battery got drained the company claims there is fault in module increasing the power consumption and asking for 70usd for module replacement should I change the module or it will work fine with battery replace coz I don’t think it’s worth for 290usd watch there is no accidental damage in my watch company claims there is faulty module
you know what?? just a guess...well i love GSHOCK watches becasue of its durability and long lasting since i have those GBD and just got the GPR-H1000, way back, CASIo released the GBD-H1000, then followed by the GBD-H2000 ( small verson- but with added features) , now they released the GPR-H1000 to the public, ...whats next then??? GPR-H2000???? well maybe that will their next misson and will be more expensive ..... with a very few added featueres...perhaps..... your video helped a lot to make a decidion on that GPR-H1000 which is similar to the GBD-H2000 features excpet the Tide readings... but over all totally 100% same. except size. Thanks...🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for the vid. Love my gshocks. Great beater watches but when i run or go to gym or swim i use a garmin. A running watch with no GPS - no thanks.
i had my first g shock in 1988. since then have always loves g shock. but not buying them anymore. the problem w g shock for me is condensation. the last 2 g shock i had both had condensation problem after about a year. 1 was within warranty and casio repaired it 3 times..changed gasket etc..but when it rains...there is condensation. i am done w g shock...sadly
Hi mate.
It seems that this big boy has the same « paw » HR sensor than the square dw h5600 that you should absolutely review 🎉
Yep, looks like the same sensor. I wonder if it would be more accurate in a smaller watch!
My only concern is the MIP display compromises all the cool LCD shades and screen layouts they come with...this makes the watch looks just utilitarian. Ofc, readability is a plus but we can't even have the cool foxfire or green color displays anymore :) btw, do these even have a quartz crystal/movement anymore? they look like they run only on some kind of electronics mode like computers/ smart watches.
Not totally sure on the Quartz question. To me it seems all electronic.
I only like rangeman and frogman,I always wear 2 watch,1 hand wear gpr b1000 ,1 hand wear FENIX 7 sapphire solar
is there a way to turn off sleep tracking if needed?
You mentioned no navigation at all. This is the Rangeman! What do you think the chances that Casio pushes a software update that includes basic navigation?
I suppose anything is possible but I would doubt a major feature like that being added after the fact.
Let’s bug Casio and ask how this Rangeman lost the main feature of a Rangeman.
Can you display the world time zone alongside the home city time zone (dual time zone display) from the HOME display? [can you display 2 time zones while in regular timekeeping mode]
I don't think so. I don't see that as an option on the watchface settings.
I have a the new mud master GWGB1000 witch I have owned for a few months now and it has a similar strap and keeper which is also not very good at its job and has gained a few scratches now. the watch came with a software problem the atomic clock signal was not automatically tuning in at night and updating the time which was fixed in the app after a download i don’t like the app it was much better with the old apps I could set the world time to individual towns and city’s also mission log maps were a lot better i find the mission log does run the battery power down but the solar panel brings the charge up I don’t think I will be picking up the new range man
Survivability while camping / hiking / outdoors seems to be its core strength.
Another SmartWatch😊
can you turn off the step tracker? or is it the same with the GBDH1000 that you cannot turn of step tracking as it is part of a timekeeping mode
I don't see a way to turn it off.
I think it’s too big, and far too technical considering That a lot of the functions on it are on your phone.
However.
I do like G -Shocks as I have two, myself. The GAW100b and the GA2100.
All the best👍🏾🇬🇧
It is a cool looking watch and im all on board with the MIP display, but it seems like Casio has long ways to go to even compete with smart watch brands. 5-10 minutes to start the GPS? Button delay is still an issue i see, inaccurate heart rate data.
any idea how long battery lasts if u have hr24/7 and a maybe 3-4 gps hrs a week? also is the display sapphire glass? does it have a dual band gps?
You’d probably get a few weeks with that kind of usage depending on accuracy settings. Display is mineral glass but I don’t think it matters it’s very well protected by the bezels. My assumption is that this uses single band GPS but I could be wrong they don’t specify anywhere in their documentation.
@@ChaseTheSummit thanks i love gshocks just because they are rugged and everything but i have a fenix 7x pro for hiking and all my fitness stuff may get it just because i collect gshocks
Great new watch I wish it was 400 $ . Still waiting for G Shock to redo the " Mud Master " ... that watch might go for 1000 $
As many commentators here I used to be G-Shock collector but Casio strategy in last decade made me abandon this sinking ship. It is amazing how such big company is not able to pay for descent app. Why they are so stubborn not to support their watches with firmware upgrades, is beyond me. The technology is obsolete, the endurance is not at the level it used to be and prices are ... well ... in Poland this watch costs 700 dollars exactly the same as Garmin 7X Solar while Garmin Instinct 2X costs less then 500.
I wouldn't call it a sinking ship! They still sell lots of watches. I think there's a market for them with folks who don't want an overly complicated or connected device on their wrist. For example, you can't use a Garmin, Coros, Polar, or Suunto without activating them in their respective apps first. G-Shock is one of the few that let you just use the watch out of the box and don't require connectivity. Some people still like that. For me? At $500 I want a bit more!
@@ChaseTheSummitI think G-Shock as a brand lost its identity. Real professional users long ago drifted away to Garmin, Suunto, Polar or Coros. And those people are setting trends. Right now if You want to look tough, sporty or rugged You don't wear some overpriced G-Shock, no You wear Fenix. I have few friends who are doing quite advanced trekking and non of them is wearing Casio watch all of them are using some kind of Garmins. Right now Casio is becoming purely fashion brand selling overpriced, multicolor, small watches. And every sport or survival watch is just another catastrophe. I'm afraid Casio will have very rude and unpleasant awakening quite soon. And by the way, in standalone mode any Fenix or Epix is eating any watch from Casio portfolio for breakfast, in my opinion.
Halo sir.. For watchface can choise to analog
I'd much rather have the Instinct 2X. Especially with it being available for less money than the GPR-H1000. I mean.. €319 vs €500. That's a HUGE difference plus the Garmin is way better when it comes to fitness tracking plus a better app. Oh, and even the Fenix 7 is cheaper than this at €430.
As a gshock and garmin fan. I agree with you. I had just about all the instinct and tactix watches. Bang for buck the instinct hands down with all the features.
The garmin is for beta males. G shock for chads.
100%
Ok but Garmin Is much less sexy 🤭
Where do you find a fenix for that price?
I sent mine back after a few weeks, my yellow one soon lost it's colour and marked up very quickly. Very disappointed, it's a fitness watch, not a rangeman. Instead I bought the latest mudmaster, cost me £700, it has two compasses, it can record your route and bring you back to wear you started. The latest mudmaster watch kicks the llamas ass.
